    Megan and I are loving "This Farming Life," on Britbox. City folk have no idea what it's like to be a farmer or rancher. Highly recommended. 📺
  • Happy, happy Spurs days!

    (A feeling Spurs fans are not overly familiar with.)

    UPDATE: 3 straight losses + major injuries and suspensions = Unhappy Spurs days. Ah, well.

  • Ghosts - Jen Rose Yokel
    Quick now, come now
to where the veil grows thin,
where the border between 
real and more real—so real
we can't bear it—shimmers
like ghosts going silently
into moonlit mist, to 
enfolding fog, a cloud
of silvered saints hovering
over the waters.

    [Biden] has his faults ... but I’ve always thought: Give me a leader who identifies with those who feel looked down upon. Give me a leader whose moral compass generally sends him in the right direction. Oct 6, 2023

  • A New Thing

    Given that I’d never, ever, heard the words (or name) “Ange Postecoglou” until last June, those syllables currently take up an inordinate amount of my brain space. (Come on you Spurs!) ⚽

  • FOTB
    A few days late, but having happy Father-of-the-Bride memories from 1-year-plus-a-few-days ago. It's a great thing to like your sons-in-law. Nay & Cait. Bride and Groom in Brooklyn sharing a 'swoony' kiss
