One of the hardest things I've ever had to write. Possibly the only thing harder will be the eulogy, and I'm praying for some divine inspiration and the strength to get through it. RIP, Dad. I love you and miss you already.

Every so often, I come across a story I wish I could have written. Every so often, I find a story about someone I wish I could have met. This is both, and in a way, I feel as if I do know Mr. Glickman. RIP, sir.

A postcard arrived: ‘If you’re reading this I’m dead, and I really liked you’
Don Glickman’s daughter sent his favorite people the postcard he designed before his death.

If we have to be stuck inside with this snow, then there's no better time than now to make a pan of my Mom's World-Famous Lasagna that @pwgphoto.bsky.social has been asking for.

.@pwgphoto.bsky.social surprised me by taking me to lunch today. (The place didn't have indoor seating - so no pic - but the crepes are always really tasty.) (1/2)

For a guy who poses because he knows how handsome he is, Starsky sure spends a lot of time with schmutz on his face. This hay was hanging off his whiskers. #guineapigs #guineapigsofbluesky

Alexa, your voice has changed. Who dis? I don't know you.
I know the change is part of the Alexa+ rollout, and this is a first-world problem. But it was jarring this morning. You could have at least let me know you were going through the change, so I could have prepared. Your new voices suck.

"Why are you taking our picture instead of getting is breakfast? We're hungry!" Usually, Starsky is more impatient, wanting breakfast. But he will let Hutch do the work if Hutch's already doing it. Work smarter, not harder. #guineapigs #guineapigsofbluesky

After taking down the Christmas tree, now I understand why Dad left it up all year. I thought it was to drive Mom crazy, although I'm sure that was a bonus.

The tree is lit and decorated. All the gifts are wrapped. @pwgphoto.bsky.social and I are back from church. Now we're watching my favorite Christmas movie. Cue the waterworks in 3... 2... 1. Merry Christmas!

Maybe it's the cushy seat. Maybe it's the Ramones streaming on Alexa. Someone is very excited about his box being cleaned, and someone else couldn't care less. #guineapigs #guineapigsofinstagram

I kept hoping last night that this somehow wasn't true. I just adore "When Harry Met Sally" and "The Princess Bride."
It hurts to say "RIP, Rob and Michele Reiner."

I'm treating Paul and me to McDonald's breakfasts after reading at Mass. While I despise this song, I had to alter the receipt. Maybe only #GenX will understand. youtu.be/6WTdTwcmxyo?...

"Well, I didn't see you for a while."
