There is a feeling, right out of The Twilight Zone, when you make yourself a Japanese rice bowl of raviolis in red sauce, finish it, leave it on your desk, put your fork in the bowl and it balances perfectly on the edge of the bowl, and you're afraid to move it for fear of breaking the spell.

Well, shoot. It was supposed to be a day off, but I have spent a full morning trying to get people to do what they told me they would do yesterday. @sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social I'm still with the smoke coming out of my ears. Calgon, take me away! ;-)
@nubianqueenbee.bsky.social Misty showed pictures of all the cottages we're looking at to her co-workers, and every single one of them agreed with me. Flex! ;-)
Today is very seriously Monday. Monday sucks eggs through a straw.
@sixftjamie.bsky.social Pink! This was originally posted by @pmamtraveller.bsky.social and reposted by my friend @thomasfortenberry.bsky.social, but it seemed right up your alley.
@sixftjamie.bsky.social You love frogs. This little guy ended up in a woman's bathroom for five days. Cute little fella though.
Guess who decided to drop by in the second floor bathroom.🐸 This little guy was too fast to capture (a tree frog) and quite frightened... took 5 days to gently capture & release it, and in the meantime, it kept startling me at night with the lightning-speed darts! 😅
@sixftjamie.bsky.social Pink! Fun fact, the pink colour of many marine creatures (flamingos, lobsters, crabs, etc) comes from a compound called astaxanthin, which comes from the algae that are the primary engine of marine food webs. The higher up the chain, the more it accumulates, and you get pink!

on what planet does my phone think that "n" is a word? Enquiring minds want to know. It's supposed to be autocorrect, not "auto-this guy is a moron." It was "and," and you failed the test.
Hey everybody! This week I'm not going to forget. Our friend Marc Hurwitz @marchurboston.bsky.social will be building a sonic wall between us and an insane reality this afternoon from 4-6 eastern with the best of alt rock on markskinradio.com. Catch it if you can -- it's a mini-vacation! :)

@sixftjamie.bsky.social You love owls. I think this one is expressing displeasure with the state of American politics. ;-)
One of the two owls I found yesterday during my walk. 🦉 The Olympus 75mm F1.8 doesn't have the reach I usually use for birds, but it's so dang sharp that I was able to crop in a bit on this one. 2/5 🧵 #Photography #Birds #Owls #ClassicMono
@bwoodward49.bsky.social I'm not as old (61) probably more decrepit (it'll take it out of a brother when they keep killing everything you love and leave you with the senile deaf remainders). But my bio says, "aspiring good good egg," your bio reminded me of that.
The unusual suspension of reason. Why would I see this car, and think, "this is what you need in your life, Michael." it's a Volkswagen man, it's just a Volkswagen! But in the immortal words of Gollum, "but it's my birthday and I wants it." (it's not my birthday.)
There is a feeling, I certainly have a word for it, when you spend 8 solid years studying a field, actually come to know your stuff, and some knucklehead on a fishing pier tells you it's a stupid field full of posers and fakers. Misty did not like that person.
Okay, exhaustion and back pain made me a useless husband yesterday, so today I'm picking up the slack. Grilled ribeye, lemon butter potatoes, and roasted brussels sprouts. That's gotta be worth something, right?
Still photo from the scene of yesterday's officer involved shooting in Madison Wisconsin. Get this out there folks, it's not getting any traction on this platform.
I stumbled on your bio, and it immediately reminded me of when I worked in San Francisco. I went out to lunch with a bunch of guys, and we all got a glass of wine, because, San Francisco. One of the guys takes a sip of the house white, and says, "mmm, lucid, yet flaccid." I kept that line. ;-)
Do you want to know how much I love my wife? I shaved. I only cried a little bit.
@sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social Do you think you can sing ska? I kept trying to write croon, but baby Jesus keeps making me play ska. I just work here. I have no idea who makes the rules. ;-)
So apparently when southern boy makes potato salad, that potato salad knows that it has been MADE. Misty won the potluck at work. For the win!
Me: It cuts down the last bush or it gets the hose again. Me: Which hose? This one is kind of a toss up for me.
Dear Apple: On what planet is "st" a word? Are you just all high?
Okay, so now my son, who I love much more than life itself (and that is god's honest truth), needs a charcoal grey suit for his best friend's wedding. Just go get it, and put me on the phone for my credit card number. Are they all out to get me? Yes! They are all out to get me.
