Sometimes, I feel like I'm forgetting something important. No matter what I do, I can not remember what it may be. Sigh.

A labor of love for an icon.

When you look old and it’s not Ozempic… it’s Geriatric!

My disdain for LED smart bulbs continues. It makes me mad that a bulb's network chip (?) can go bad way before the light element burns out.

Here I am, I’m ALIVE!! And making my first post of 2026 in February!! Lol! I’ve been quiet, but I’ve been busy. And to prove it, here’s my first cover of 2026, #CaptainMarvel: Dark Past #1 w/ @sabinerich.bsky.social on colors, going on sale April 1st, from @marvelcomicshqs.bsky.social !

☄️🕸️ Landing in comicbook shops everywhere this March is the crossover event decades in the making: #Superman/#SpiderMan #1, featuring a plethora of variant covers, including this one drawn by me and colored by Nei Ruffino featuring #Supergirl and #SpiderGwen/#GhostSpider!

Post a ship that's not #StarTrek or #StarWars

My brain is pooped. It's been a grown-up productive night. Medications refills ordered for everyone in the family. Car insurance renewed. Gas and trash bill paid. Doctor appointments have been confirmed.

Work sucks. I wish I could go home and spend the day rebuilding some GameBoys. I recently found parts and some new tools. I just want to find the time to enjoy working on them.

I can't tell if I'm dealing with an incompetent Mercari seller or a scammer. Anyways, dealing with either one is so exhausting.

1000%. I have not been this excited to go sleep in a long time.

Sigh. I finally found the sweet spot on the couch for me to fall asleep but it’s now time to wake up. Sigh. So tired.

Headed back to the hospital tomorrow for my dad. I'm praying the weather cooperates and everything goes well.

Sigh. Listening to some people, I realize that MLK Day has devolved into a day of watching sports game.

I miss the days when light bulbs weren’t smart. When they burn out, you just replaced them. Now, you have to replace the bulb… pair to device… connect to Wi-Fi… update smart device list… update bulb firmware… update lighting scenes… update commands list… test the lights and troubleshoot… sigh.

It’s cold.

All went well. More scans and labs to do leading to another hospital day next week. At this point, we are taking everything one day at a time.

Back to the doctor’s office today for my dad. Hoping all goes well.

Hospital is freezing. Wish I had a parka on me.

Hospital day again tomorrow for my dad. We are tired but we must keep going.

Hospital + Dialysis day for my Dad. Waking up early is rough. Much coffee is needed for me. Hoping all goes well for Dad. #CareGiverLife

Happy New Year to y'all.

I'm mentally and spiritually an old man which means I'm going switch to some sweatpants and hike them up to my chest so I can go to bed soon. I figure I'd wish y'all a happy NYE now while I'm still awake. 👴🥳🎉

Merry Christmas to y'all

I guess I should wait until after the holidays to move stuff into my storage unit. Holiday traffic is insane right now.

A pile of colored Christmas lights lying on the ground outside of a house with a sign next to them that reads, "Fuck it."

It was my turn to do the Christmas lights this year.

Woke up too early. Sigh.

It’s my dad’s 83rd birthday. The cold weather and recent surgery is making him cranky, but I’m just glad to have his cranky self with us despite all the health challenges we went through this year and new dialysis life he has now.
