This is a print I bought from Scott Lantz at Pike Place Market. If I lived in Seattle, or had gone to the market at the beginning of my trip, I’d have bought flowers. This is even better. His website…
Seattle 2018
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…

Show us your books: July 2018
My goal is to read 50 books this year. I’m at 40. I’ll be glad once I hit 50 because maybe then I’ll pick up some longer books. This month I made a conscious decision to stick with happier books,…
Friday 5: Happy ASLIRT
Happy Friday! Today was my summer Friday off and … it rained. Womp womp. I don’t have a shore house or relatives with a shore house, so we are daytripping folk. If it rains, we stay home. Except Mom and…
Six
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. 🙂
