The "the traffic driving into Philly was bad enough that I couldn't meet my friends but only bad enough to deliver me to the theater a full hour before the show" problem.

View of the Quoval (quad+oval) from the new office is pretty good!

Pardon the dead grass, since they just did a bunch of plumbing work.

I don't really do New Year's resolutions, but I'm setting an intention to play outside with my new camera at least once per week. The weather cooperated today and gave me a little snow for icing.

My bestie's daughter gave me a crocheted pickle for Christmas, and it is by far my favorite gift for this year.

Happy St. Lucia Day! Or, the day when the Catholic Church celebrates the saint who carries her eyeballs on a plate.

I've been running the same 5K on Thanksgiving morning since 2009, so 15 years, when you subtract 2020. I get teased a little when I tell people that I run a race on a holiday, but hey, it's on a beach (pls to ignore how grey it was this AM).
