Narrating the Zhuangzi for the National Library Service, definitely the most complex a d difficult narration I've ever attempted. Need a lot of digital assistance to get all the info in front of my face.

The hell did I see walking around Denver this morning?

Saw a pair of what I like to call Flying Terries out on our walk this morning.

I mean, it took all of three seconds to find an NPR article from 2013 pointing out how the panic never really happened.

Time to enjoy a favorite of mine, cracking open an old bald. Cc @telthetrekkie.bsky.social

Christ, @eomproject.bsky.social, you call this ONE chapter? It's an endurance sport with you, obviously.

Anyway, one down (and being processed); three (!) to go. Thanks to everyone who has pestered him (or me) about the audiobook's status.

Sagan is a winter snow baby. Caught him catching snowflakes on his big warm tongue. #dogsofbluesky

Just the best birthday present I could ever give myself. #dogsofbluesky

I mark 45 years in this life today, and I'll admit, this was my real birthday present. Sagan is a very different personality from Cahir, but I've already determined if he asked me to, I would do truly unfathomable things.

Look at dose eyes.....daaaaaaawwww

Sagan is just so picturesque. #dogsofbluesky

Meet Sagan. #dogsofbluesky

I just came home from the shelter with this beautiful guy. He keeps licking the tears of joy off my face.
November 22, 2024 at 9:53 PM
So, because my heart yearns for connection, I've begun browsing the nearest shelter, and I've come across this beauty, who has been there for almost a month, and it just boggles the mind.

She's a Catahoula Leopard Hound, a breed I'd never heard of. Might have to meet her next week. #DogsOfBlueSky

It's amazing what time does. It grays the face but needn't dim the brightness of our eyes. My first and last photos of my dear sweet Cahir.

Looking at these two photos next to each other brings enormous love and pride to my heart. He was the most amazing companion.

Oooh, the Lower Decks mobile game has Berman's number

roughhousing, silent contemplation of the neighborhood during long smoke breaks. He was part of nearly all the best parts of my life over the past 6.5 years. The tears come with smiles today, The Day After. I keep referring to this message a dear friend sent me that might mean something to you:

I miss my dog so much this morning. It was always our time, because I get up absurdly early and don't start work until hours and hours later. He'd get his morning treat while I made coffee and had morning ablutions, then outside for potty patrol, back in for breakfast together, then walks,

I had to say goodbye to my baby today. I'll never forget him.
November 10, 2024 at 12:40 AM
Today, among the dreadful news across the US, Denver got a good snow, and so my baby has gotten some good playtime out there.

Treatment hasn't been the best, but it also hasn't been the worst. He's had nearly no adverse reactions to medications, just limited effectiveness.

Happy boy, though.

He's responded well to prednisone so far, for a couple days now. His lymph node swelling has gone down, and we've been able to take a couple walks. Still breathes very loudly, sometimes startlingly so.

But it passes, and I can even fool myself into thinking he's not a very sick boy. Sometimes.

Cahir has lymphoma. He's my sweet boy, he's only six, this shouldn't happen to such a good boy. Gonna try to get him another 6-8 months but I'm scraping by as it is.

He's always loved playing the snow, and this summer has been brutal. I'm gonna fight so he can have one more winter.

I presented a show last night to this house, and holy crap that was amazing. Never had such a big room fill up with my voice. Exhilarating

Older movies didn't shy away from making a scene horny as fuck even when it really shouldn't have been probably

I just don't understand anyone who doesn't love this show. It's just so adorable. Star Trek: Prodigy really does deserve a home for its second season.
