Listening to Sacre Blue by Christopher Moore. I think I may be learning some art history I missed in freshman Art 101 at ESJC.
Seems like sadness all around lately. We found our gray cockatiel had passed away in his cage tonight. He was our friend and companion for 26 years.

Cleaning and deleting old text messages and found a series of messages from my nextdoor neighbor who passed in April while hiking the Appalachian Trail. Technology is haunting.
Visited my hometown over the weekend. Saw my mom's house sitting empty and the vacant lots where my grandparents house and my old junior highschool once sat. It was great to grow up there but it's not the same place. Time moves on and I guess I did too
@leegoldberg.bsky.social I'm reading Malibu Burning and still not sure I'm rooting for the Sharpe and Walker or the criminals

Been watching YouTube videos of Larry Bird and 1980s Boston Celtics thinking what were the odds of being alive at that exact time? What a time to have been alive!
My senior Chihuahua (18) wandered around the kitchen last night until she cried for someone to find her. So I'm tired from holding her until almost 2:00 this morning until she settled and went to sleep.
When did you first realize you're old? I'll go first. When I suddenly realized I'm not comfortable driving at night, especially when it's raining.
Our dog has chronic kidney failure. She's 18 and looks so sad.
Due to various things -work insurance open enrollment, retirement presentation, kid's birthday, anniversary of parents death - that I have about 16 possibly productive years left. If I'm lucky and my body doesn't start breaking and cancer doesn't decide to take another shot at me.
I can't be the only person that gets a little choked up when certain verses of Lose Yourself come on, right?
