In this photo taken at a ridiculous angle, you can still see the remnants of my ginger past in my mustache. The gray is winning the race for prominence but that’s OK because I’ve earned the gray.
A year ago I wasn’t ready to be a guy with gray hair. Today I don’t mind at all.
There was a pretty impressive meteor shower earlier this week. We were lucky to have clear skies and a moonless night; we sat on the roof over our garage, which faces east, and at the peak was able to see a meteor or two every 30 seconds. It was beautiful. The remnants of this comment were a bit more orange than most meteor showers I’ve seen. The universe is amazing.
I have concerns about the longevity of humanity. I saw this tweet pass by and I wonder if the person tweeting this actually thought the meteor shower would light up any clouds or come through clouds.
Meteors coming through the clouds would be a bad thing. There’s been quite a few catastrophe movies with that very sort of plot line.
You deserve a pep talk. I deserve a pep talk. Don’t think the worst. Here’s a little chat about catastrophizing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
I still maintain that a good chunk of my moral foundation I learned as a kid came from the “Shazam/Isis Hour”! I paid very close attention when JoAnna Cameron spoke directly to the camera as Isis. These little lessons at the end of every episode, and their counterparts after “Shazam!”, definitely lent to who I am today.
Living in the desert has really messed up my sense of time. I had a hard time understanding that today is Memorial Day and not Labor Day, since what I have always known as “summer weather” has been cranking along for the past two months.
Regardless of the weather, we need to take a moment to thank those that gave the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country.
I’ve never really had an interest in going to St. Maarten, but there’s a part of me that really wants to experience this beach that’s right up against the airport.
I call this Truman’s “Royal Pose”. This is his usual way of relaxing on the floor, usually in the afternoons. I come up to see how things are going in other parts of the house during the workday, and he’s usually waiting by the door of master suite in this pose.
He’s so regal.
The desert is so beautiful. I’m still getting used to the aviation experience in the desert heat. The desert is beautiful, but her airspace is quite bumpy.
I’ve been watching episodes of the 1970s version of “Match Game”. I do not remember Penny Marshall being on the panel, but there she was in 1974. She was in a show called “Friends and Lovers”.
I noticed the neighbors moved their flag to half staff this morning. I believe this is the first time they’ve done this since we’ve moved to the area a little over a year ago.
Just a guy with a husband. We’ve been together 28 years and he still makes me see fireworks on a daily basis. Hiker. Storm Chaser. Private Pilot. Tech Guy. Hackerish.
Weird? Eccentric!
