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.

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."

Starsky ends his day like he started it: with schmutz on his face. As @pwgphoto.bsky.social would say, "Constancy." #guineapigs #guineapigsofbluesky

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?...

This is what was waiting for me just now when I got home from work: One tunnel in front of the other, Starsky in the farther tunnel, and Hutch looking very proud of himself. #guineapigs #guineapigsofbluesky

I was in the basement finishing up the laundry and ironing some clothes for the week when...
@pwgphoto.bsky.social: "Are you down there?"
Me: "No."
"Well, OK then."
"Where do you think I'd be?"
"Well, I didn't see you for a while."
"Did you think I left?" (1/2)

Me: "It smooths your hair."
"It smooths it? Does it detangle it?"
"Yes. Do you want to try some?"
Paul looks sheepish. "I did."
"You did?"
"It was hard to get out."
"Now you know what I go through, but with a lot more hair." #Paulism

We usually don't get many trick or treaters, but I'm always optimistic. Besides, these candies are so much smaller than when I was a kid trick or treating.

I was talking about dinner before the trick or treaters arrive. @pwgphoto.bsky.social was talking about work at first, so I redacted his comments. But Halloween candy always gets his attention. #Paulism with a visual aid.

I finished cleaning the boys' cage and put Hutch back first. In the time it took me to pick up Starsky, Hutch repositioned one of the hay bags AND placed himself between the two. He looks so proud of himself. #guineapigs #guineapigsofbluesky

.@pwgphoto.bsky.social and I had this visitor today while we were doing yard work. Maybe it's Dad checking on his lawn mower? Hard to believe Dec. 12 - the one year anniversary of losing him - is coming. Miss you, Dad. Love you.
