Allow me to interrupt your doomscrolling with the joyous news of the arrival of our new cat, Fiona. She’s a seven-year-old, basketball-shaped rescue in need of love and a diet. She’s currently settling in, but I promise way too many pictures will be coming soon. #Caturday

During my life, I've been both delighted and upset by the things my government was doing, but for the first time, I am personally afraid of the federal government. I fully acknowledge that others have had it much worse, but this is my truth, and I think it's important to say it out loud. 💔

Both my dear wife and I are sick. Today a wonderful neighbor came by with a healing gift and shoveled our snow covered walkway. In these tough times, simple kindness matters. Help one another.

I engaged in a little emotional support baking yesterday and made Pineapple UpsideDown Cake. Comfort food from my youth. Just what the doctor ordered during these trying times. Delish.

Returning to my childhood, yesterday I had a peanut butter sandwich with a glass of chocolate milk made with way too much Hershey's syrup. It is good to be ten again.
