I begin each morning with a cup of coffee, and (modern) classical playing on the turntable. Then, I sit to write for a few hours.
This is one of my all time favorites. Enjoy your morning!
this is god-level photography.
and there were cranes...LOTS of cranes.
I promise this blur is a short-eard owl, half mile away.
It's encouraging (to me, at least) that humanist cinema fared so well at the Berlinale and BAFTA. There were some brave, soaring, impactful films made in 2025. Wow.
It will be interesting to see if the Oscars make it a trifecta or choose to bend a knee. These are strange times.

I'm incredibly sorry, both for that prognosis and for my comment being seemingly insensitive. Praying for April 4th as well. ๐
Sending gentle petting to your pup, and comfort to you, Pete.
It's beyond tough watching one's companion enduring illness. Hope good reports continue and there are many happy years ahead.
I keep a couple boxes of Pacific Foodsยฎ Organic Butternut Squash Soup in the pantry for days I don't want to cook. It's really delicious! Way better than my homecooked version, too. Just an fyi. Have a beautiful day, Bill!
He was so very polite and asked forgiveness for being clumsy, when it was obviously I who was errant.
We shook hands and went our ways, he with his wife and I with mine.
When we made it outside, she grabbed my arm and nearly squealed "DO YOU KNOW WHO THAT WAS? He was Robert Duval!"
rip, Sir. ๐
Back in the 90s, when we were still fiancees, I took my wife on the Locals tour of New Orleans. We were on Royal St in the Quarter, perusing one of my fav galleries when I literally turned around and bumped a gentleman behind me.

I could never sit still for the extended periods it takes to catch photos like these. Check them out at the link below. Really good stuff!
Congrats to the nominees.

Fat Tuesday is less than a week away! I'll never not get excited about it no matter where I live. You can't take New Orelans out of the girl.
Happy Mardi Gras, Y'all!

Right? As soon as I block it, another pops up within minutes. Their .net address is somewhat disconcerting, too. Sorry you're being haranged by these hackers, too.
I don't know if this is connected to my being hacked over the weekend, but this account has followed me 6x today. I keep reporting it and blocking, but this is getting ridiculous.
Anyone else having issues or am I the only lucky one?
Time will tell, I suppose. I was most concerned about my financial accounts, but when I logged into them to change PWs, it looked "normal". It pays to be hypervigilant during these chaotic times, which I shall be now.
After 2 days of rain, the sun shows up long enough to bid good evening.
Congratulations Hawks! ๐ LX.
seems like forever ago! Thanks, C!
My first ever (cell phone) short of Mt Hood, in Oct 2024.
I'm still awe struck every time I see Her.

I agree that this is likely one of the most effective ways of fighting back and I do support this. I actually did this two years ago, with the exception of Netflix, and have not resubscribed to any of them.
This may appeal to you as well.
๐ฅฐ still my fav.
Catherine OโHara gone after a brief illness. So grateful that she shared her talent, her genius and her art with the world. Fly high now, with no pain or suffering.
Just gutted.
