Hurricane Day! ....or not quite, as Elsa quickly reverted to a tropical storm once it got close to the coast, and most of the bad weather is east of the eye, so in short we'll get some rain here in Tallahassee but nothing serious. Keely, nonetheless, is displeased...

I was in denial about it being a work day so we were not out the door until 6:30 am — summer is well in hand as dawn was nearly over, the sun occassionally breaking through the thick morning clouds over the tall pines. I miss winter so much! It was a dreary morning...

Holiday Monday! Which means the next four days at work will probably be stressful and busy, but for now I'm enjoying not having to log into work and pretend to care (I care! ...about some of it...sometimes... *grimaces*) Good news is that I saw actual ducklings! A new...

Today is "Independence Day", July 4th, in my country (USA). It is a holiday I was raised to be excited about, to be proud of, to enjoy without remorse. It's ironic because my parents, who were very liberal, taught me early about the darker side of colonialism in...
7/3/2021 – Blessing of the Bats
It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that the flying things I often saw during dusk were bats. My brain would just see "dark flying thing" in the sky and label it "some kind of bird" and that was that. Eventually I stopped to watch them, I think...

In an odd twist, I keep thinking today is Friday. It is not. It is Thursday! Which at least I remembered early enough to make it to the office on time! I was extremely tired last night, I think due to eating a large dinner late in the evening. It's weird but I'm just...

Writing this late as I slept in and then got busy at work once I got into the office. (We've been told that we must all start showing up full time at the office starting August 1st, which I have feelings about, but in the meantime, I have another month of hybrid...

There was a bit of a flash storm late yesterday, and we're still damp from it this morning because nothing every dries out completely in Florida. But, it was clear and only 72°F, so all in all it was very pleasant out. It was a doggy morning, too. My neighbor Larry is...

This past weekend was mostly a relaxing one, with me purposefully not focusing on "productivity" while also extremely limiting my social media interactions/doom scrolling. I also had a great brunch with my friend Melody, wherein we enjoyed delicious food on the patio...

Got out early for a Saturday, so enjoyed the diffused sunrise through a layer of clouds. Took a long walk too, which Keely was super happy about. She took us up to 3rd Ave. as usual and I noticed that the old Masa location at the corner of 3rd and Monroe St. is for...

Today's photo is taken from the porch of the old KitchenAble's location, which is "old" because at some point the signs came down and the place was cleared out. I am not sure when this happened, but I think it was recently, as the signs had been there through most of...

Today's walk was more of a short jaunt due to this: That's deceptive, though. While it was drizzling rain at the time, that's all it did since the major band stayed just north of us as it tracked north-east. It's now a couple of hours later and the heavy weather is...
