I figured you might need some pictures of Blue in your life.

Listening in anticipation of The next Scalzi book hitting on Tuesday. Great narration.

I was on the road at 6am. Was home by 4:15pm. I think I have fallen in love with road trip vacations again. Blue was sooo happy to get home!

Had a pretty good holiday weekend so far. Blue is settling down some.

T&T Market in Factoria has OK egg tarts.

Watched the sun set from the top of a skyscraper with friends last night.

Can anyone tell me why Substack is serving me election denialism content from untrusted sources that I don’t follow?

Odd that “John Oliver” isn’t *that* John Oliver. Feels like someone masquerading as a trusted media figure to those who aren’t looking carefully.

Stay vigilant.

Saw a beach wedding in Port Townsend this weekend. Pretty cool idea. Mazel tov to the happy couple and family. Hoping they somehow see this. (at Fort Worden State Park Beach)

Had a pretty good whisky day the other day. A friend who was in Scotland picked this up for me. Pretty interesting bottle! More sherry influence than the normal Oban distillate.

Took the ferry across the sound and drove up to Port Townsend & Fort Warden today! Had an excellent time. Also, I don’t even know how they got the ice cream to stack like that!

If your dog isn’t a good car rider dramamine works for doggos, too! Vet recommended, even.

12 years ago today I moderated a panel with Peter Clines (@peterclines.bsky.social) at Booktopia Bellingham. What a fantastic conversation with a seriously excellent person! I’m so excited to read his next book, God’s Junk Drawer.

If you haven’t read 14 or The Fold pick them up!

Pretty excited to start this one:

Thanks for the tip and the reading!

You get a pic of Blue being adorable as a tip. 😀

Last day in NYC. The Met and a bottle of passable champagne in the Sky Lounge before arriving safely back in Seattle. On the train home now and can’t wait to see our doggo.

Next up in NYC! Lizzo is going to be here? I think that’s a big deal…?

He is totally considering it.

Pretty good afternoon at Meow Wolf.

Awkwardness in TV is so painful for me. This moment set me off. 😬

Bob’s Lake City Liquor was a great spot to chat spirits with people who wanted you to get the right bottle for you. It closed a few years ago and I felt the loss to our community. Today I learned that Bob passed unexpectedly and I feel that loss all over again.

RIP Bob. 🥃

Scored 8 dozen of the good stuff today. Why, right when we start eating lots of eggs, do they become so hard to find?

Ours is great in public. Never an issue. But at home he makes his personality and his demands well known.

Seems like my gif doesn’t work. Let me try again.

Oh no. David Lynch died today. I have always been a huge fan of his work.

That gum I like will never go out of style. 😔

I can’t fully delete Twitter, but did turn off notifications finally. For some jackass reason they started feeding me Q garbage. That shit will rot your brain *and* your soul.
