My one nice white button up shirt came out of the wash with big blotchy stains on it from a blue sock hiding in the washer, two days before I have to leave town for a company function. Oh dear.

A recent oil on canvas painted in my garden size 61cmX86cm "Two women at a garden table". It was one of my entries to the Cambridge Drawing Society 2024. Needs to be a bit more subtle in its tone I think looking back on it.

Once again, I keep forgetting I have this app! I keep forgetting about my social media in general lately. Maybe that's a good thing?

My spouse brought me a bowl of roasted chicken, potatoes, and carrots so I could eat dinner at the computer while building my Minecraft farm. I'm so loved.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Growing up in a fairly small town and then traveling into a larger city in the evening is such a fascinating experience. What do you mean, there are stores open after 8pm?

To flavor an entire 55-gallon barrel of rainwater, you would need 417 single-serve packets Sunkist Lemon-Lime. To get them, you'd have to buy 70 of the 6-pack boxes. Taking advantage of some local sales, I think I could do so for about $140.

I've seen three house finches this morning. The bonded pair arrived for their usual breakfast date, then the widower that recently lost his mate. They were all puffed up from the cold, and each spent some time warming up near my window.
