Paladin plays fetch better than our dog. I can toss a little fuzzy ball, and he chases it, brings it back, and drops it at my feet to toss again. 🐈 #Caturday

Paladin and Pippin in their favorite spots in my office. They can coexist peacefully, from a suitable distance apart. 🐈

In March 2006 we went to Seattle Mariners baseball spring training in Peoria, Arizona. ⚾️ #ThrowbackThursday

Today’s #WhatsItWednesday proved to be a bit of a challenge, but was eventually correctly identified on Micro.blog: a large bubble in the very puffy crust of my most recent homemade pizza. 🍕

The Princess Switch movie 🍿🎄 #MediaMonday

2020-12-14 · MediaMonday

We’ve been enjoying watching cheesy Netflix Christmas rom-coms recently, including the two Princess Switch ones, and The Knight Before Christmas. Feel-good fluff is fun, especially this time of the year.

I turned on the gazebo lights for a bit of holiday cheer; here is a GIF of them changing color on a rainy day. 🎄

I love living in the future, where it’s routine for a SpaceX launch, stage 1 landing on a droneship, and satellite deployment. 🚀

Pippin enjoys my office too — on my lap, and on a cozy blanket on my couch. 🐈

Paladin in my office — in a cardboard nest, climbing and in front of the mirror, and enjoying a sunbeam. 🐈
