I hope the snow is more peaceful tonight than last weekend. Hopefully RVA will have clean water tomorrow.

This water disaster in RVA has left me with a profound knowledge about how fragile our systems are that enable us to live the daily life we live.

Hoping for some actual snow from this winter storm this weekend.

After an evening full of Christmas prep in the kitchen, I sat down to finally watch Secret Levels and my normally aloof #dog Elsie decided she wanted to actually cuddle

Merry Christmas Eve everyone.

My game of choice these days has been Darkest Dungeon. I bounced off it the first time but now I’m into it. It’s scratching the itch I need for gaming. At the same time I really want to play the new Indiana Jones game too… luckily my vacation starts in a week until the new year…

Today’s Photography Friday.

Magome-juku, Japan, April 2023.

I’d go on to walk the Nakasendo trail this day. Best experience from my last trip. Such a tranquil area.

Today’s adventures in exploring music new to me.

A Place To Bury Strangers. A friend put me onto them after seeing they were coming to a local venue in #RVA Sounds like a cross between a bunch of NIN and Joy Division and probably some others..

I need to get back to reading this; it hasn’t hooked me nearly as well as the first Expanse book did all those years ago. I’m about a third of the way in…

Does it end up being good?

I went to Japan in April 2023, and I have a trip planned for April 2025. I can’t wait to go back. I think last time I managed to get in before travel really got back to pre pandemic levels. Here, have some of my favorite pictures. I do all my travel solo.
