I like to stay home, pet the cats, watch my aquarium, feed the wild birds (and opossums), listen to music, and relax.

I have one of these, too! They are the best! (Both the cats and the scratcher/toy/bed combo!)
A slightly shredded cardboard scratcher with an orange cat resting on it, feet hanging off the side, probably worn out from a lively playtime.

Just saw Jekyll and Hyde at #LyricStage in Dallas. First of their shows I've been to in a few years and it did not disappoint! Now I need to get my ticket for their production of Guys and Dolls in August!
The stage is set for Jekyll and Hyde at Lyric Stage: some stairs and platforms at different levels and a moody blue background of London with rain falling...

My 2 favorite desk accessories...
Two orange cats sleeping on my desk - in the way of my workspace, but too adorable to matter...

Saw Hadestown (touring) at Dallas Fair Park today - fabulous! Great cast, music, and an enthusiastic crowd! I highly recommend it! Also try the buffet at the Crystal Terrace before the show - delicious and a relaxing start to your outing! And getting there that early you end up with good parking!
The empty set before the show (because I'm not a heathen filming a performance!) Musician areas on both sides of the stage and the huge green doors mostly used for Hades entrances on a raised area in the center. Steps on either side of the main area and some chairs to the sides. Dark moody colors.

Saw "Shane" today at Dallas Theater Center and thoroughly enjoyed it! Karen Zacarias' adaptation brought new layers to an old classic western. This is why I have season tickets: to see great shows I would have overlooked otherwise. Dallas Theater Center never disappoints! #TheaterBSKY

Just finished Remnant Population by Elizabeth Moon and highly recommend it! Old woman stays behind when planet is evacuated and starts as a kind of survival story but morphs into first contact story. Just kept getting better and better.🪐📚

Can anyone help me identify this bird? My usual bird ID app couldn't figure it out... (Sorry for the poor quality nighttime photo. I never see this one during the day.) #birds #whatbirdisthis
This is a photo of a bird feeder at night with a possum hanging upside down by his tail, gripping the bar with his feet, and chowing down on birdseed. No bird - that's the joke...

Great egrets nesting in trees in the middle of Dallas. (Not a new photo, but one that's not in my backyard, for variety...) #addBirder
3 young great egrets in their nest at the top of a tree Many great egrets nesting in treetops with city in the background

Love that book recs are so popular here! One of my new author discoveries this year was Sarah Pinsker. I've read 2 of her SF short story collections and greatly enjoyed them both. For me Lost Places slightly edged out Sooner or Later Everything Falls into the Sea
