Anger is a gift
- Meow Wolf
- Quarter-sized hail in October?!
- Re-taught 11 to play cribbage a few weeks ago. Today she beat me. Badly. Proud dad moment.
- 11 and I made chocolate chip cookies
- @astrobailin.bsky.social do you remember an industrial show we went to c.2003 at a horrible venue in Tempe? It was a mix of acts, but I can’t remember who. Thrill Kill Kult? Pigface? (I think I asked you about this years ago on the other site, but have since forgotten. I’m getting old)
- Will there be @sirenspod.bsky.social merch? My OG Bombshell mug (left, 2017) could use a refresh (right, now)
- Found a fren on my hike today
- Yesterday’s wrong turn hike
- Farthest I’ve been: N: somewhere north of Husavik, Iceland (66° N) E: Satara Rest Camp, Krueger NP, South Africa (31° E) S: Santiago, Chile (33° S) W: Haliewa, HI (158° W)
- What perfect album came out when you were sixteen? The Cure was my favorite band at the time, and while this isn’t my favorite Cure album, it was perfect for that time in my life.
- Saturday morning hike with the kiddo
- I’m sitting in a mall and “The Humpty Dance” is playing. Have I been transported to 1990?

- Heartbroken to hear about the loss of the Lodge at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. In 2022 we took an epic roadtrip with my mom, including a few nights in the cabins on the North Rim. Each morning mom and I drank coffee on the patio behind the lodge. That’s where this pic was taken.

- Movies you have seen six or more times, no Star Wars, LOTR, or Trek. Fitting, actually.

- Turns out that nearly-8 really likes Rammstein

- Might be a good time to reread The Jungle.
- I was apparently almost 50 years old when I realized that Sting sings “I want my MTV” in “Money for Nothing” with the same lick as “Don’t Stand So Close to Me”
- Just had a funny, pithy personal experience that’s too gross by half to post on here. Killing me.

- Just missed getting a pic of the peak of the sunset yesterday. But this is still pretty.
- Lana Del Rey, Wu Tang, and a strong stout.
- First turns on Pajarito for the season. With La Niña like to mean a warm dry winter we’re taking advantage of the snow while we have it.
- Happy Father’s Day to the dads and father figures out there. Thoughts with you if you’re missing yours, like I am.
- A day late, but Happy Pride Month!
- So, at almost 49 I am officially old — I had my first parental freak out about the music my kid is listening to. In the 1950s parents worried that Elvis’s music would lead to premarital sex. In the 1980s (vaguely racist) white suburban worried that rap music would lead to drug use… 1/2
- TBH, I don’t love these occasional trips to Livermore, but the variety of tasty food we don’t have at home eases the pain. A bit.
- Sea level running. Ain’t nothing like it.
- Hey @katecrane.bsky.social , I’m in your general area. I’ll wave in the direction of PA and will be thinking of you!
- Early winter snow.
- Are dad bods still the in thing? Asking for a friend.
- I’ve only got a small crowd here, but I cannot figure out how I’m going to muster the energy to cook today. I used to love this holiday. Not so much anymore. Happy Thanksgiving to my USA folks. 🦃🎉🙄
- Today I can realized that sometime in the last few months I crossed over into having lived in this weird little town longer than any other place I’ve lived.
