When a dog barks and wags its tail : which end do you believe ?

Relocated Yank. No interest to return.
Fifteen years ago, "the brown dog" was fetched up to avoid being returned for adoption. So many years of love, shenanigans, and the bestest boi ever.

Miss you, even if you were annoying at times. Epic counter surfer.

Bedtime at 05h36. Very functional.

Dystopian en totale.

Bedtime at a decent hour (01h13).

After last night's game, I do not wish to crawl into bed at 05h00 in a sad/bad mood again.

Please, TOR. Do whatever it takes and win tonight. #MLB

Gotta give FOX credit where due : all these #Rush riffs at the end of innings. It's not a coincidence that Geddy is a huge baseball fan #MLB

Chilling after a lovely evening with @lorifontanes.bsky.social

Taxi home soonish. Enjoying a glass of Bordeaux in the middle of the Seine is so décontracté. #Paris

45 minute taxi ride to Tibetan restaurant in the 10è (in pouring rain). Managed 12 out of 20 dumplings; the rest are lunch tomorrow.

Next challenge : stay awake for TOR-LAD which starts in four hours 😑⚾️🇨🇦

TOR stated today that they are intentionally walking Sho for the rest of the playoffs.

When Dave Roberts said he understands and respects the decision, that is professionalism par excellence. #MLB

Making up time, due to arrive CDG on schedule.

After a sumptuous lunch of primarily northern Chinese food i.e. hot, I eschewed the in flight meal and am subsisting on 2020 Médoc.

No baseball tonight. Just chillin’ like a villain after a a hot shower following a hot lunch.

Not the most luxurious airport, but it’s taking me home just the same.

Lovely, chill weekend with dear friends from Oz who settled here. Being two hours away is a luxury.

They caught two of four. Now what ? #Louvre

El gato. Terrorized over ten years ago by the Labs when our friends needed temporary lodging after relocating to SF from south of the equator in the land of Chunder. Living a purring existence with a littermate near the ocean south of Lisbon.

AF (largely Schengen) biz flights are on single aisle A/C with the middle seat empty. Economy legroom, but no big deal for 2-3 hour flights.

Lovely meal of smoked trout, pasta with herbed cream and pomegranate seeds. I had bubbles.

Guy next to me had a bag of pretzels and a can of Coke 🫥

AF1624, 4A. Late. Irritated Australians upon arrival.

When it’s chilly, eat warm food.
