Our #agave plant, Daughter of Panofsky, has decided to send up a flower spike after 10 years of good times in the garden. It’s grown over a foot this week! Cool to watch, but I’ll be sad to see her go.

Excited to use my new Chemistry of Coffee mug. Diacetyl is the smell of C. elegans 🪱 chemotaxis experiments from long ago, and this makes me inordinately happy.

Fresh tracks in the snow, probably a Chickaree (Douglas squirrel 🐿️ ), probably looking for a way to sneak into the house when we’re not looking and cause utter mayhem.

Enjoyed seeing #CircusBella in SF yesterday. One ring, big top, super sparkly human dazzlement. I love that this is becoming a holiday tradition!

Sunset #SUP at #HeronsHead after the smoggy air finally lifted Sunday evening. Golden hour and smooth water on the bay — winter can be a lovely time to paddle when the wind is light.

I never got around to posting pics from the end of our holiday in #Toulouse last month. So on this stormy SF evening, I’m thinking back to a perfectly warm sunset overlooking the river. Cheers!
