As we did in 2017 and 2016 (I didn’t blog that) WM and I went to Seattle to visit our friends last week. It was a great trip, expensively extended by a day due to a cancelled flight. This post…

Friday 5: Performance Evaluation
Hi! Time to get back into the swing of real-ish time blogging after a bunch of scheduled posts designed to mask the fact that we were in Seattle on vacation. (That lily? Died 3 weeks ago.) I used to liveblog…
Philadelphia Rail Park
Some good folks in Philadelphia are taking old rail lines and turning them into a park! You: New York has already done that. Me: Whatever. Killjoy. Phase 1 was finished about a month ago. It’s a close walk from my…

Although I try really hard to avoid it, sometimes my social media friends have acquaintances who are … problematic. Usually I ignore them but sometimes they catch my eye with ridiculously crappy words and racist attitudes. Which is how I…

Friday 5: Happy ASLIRT

Six years ago these goofballs said “I do.” It’s a good thing to be married to your favorite person. Not everyone gets to say that. Happy Anniversary, WM. 🙂
Families Belong Together – Philadelphia
When in the course of human events, you realize that current, government-sanctioned practices fly SQUARELY in the face of your idea that everyone should be Safe, Loved, and Warm, you get off your ass and go hollering. Which is how…
