Immensely enjoyed Wayne State’s Jazz Big Band concert tonight. (My nephew is in there playing trumpet.) I spent the whole evening with a smile on my face and my foot tapping.


💿Few things bring as much joy as rescuing musical treasures from the thrift store and adding them to my collection. My daughter, who has never known life without internet, views my CD ripping like I’m a doomsday prepper.


🌶️ Homemade chili crisp ended up being easy to make, has none of the sugar they add to the commercial stuff, and is way, way less expensive.


Enjoying some Caturday while I rip some thrifted CD’s into my computer like an old man.


Today’s winter storm warning is no exaggeration. Everything was green an hour ago.


Feeling very fortunate this morning as we still have power while a great many people living west of us do not.


Though I liked summer light on you
If we ride a winter-long wind
Well, time’s not what I belong to
And I’m not the season I’m in

As much as I enjoy journaling on paper, switching to Day One seems to have finally cracked my problem with abandoning the practice. For now, my phone is my new notebook.


Overnight, all was coated in crystal. Everything now, is still and locked in place. But soon, the sun will gleam and the grass will rise from their bow.


Don’t normally share my art here but I’m super happy with my little Dragonborn, in his freshman Silverquill uniform, practicing his beginning Inkomancy.


My thoughtful brother in-law gifted me some vintage 1980’s Dungeons and Dragons metal figures. Their numbers aren’t even stamped into the bases, they’re hand carved! Now I have to figure out where I can find more information about them.


While the teen is away, the parents will play. Enjoying some good music and coffee with the college students in Ann Arbor. My wife and I joked that we were the only people in the place not wearing headphones and on a laptop.


Winter’s chill is ever so slowly waning from the air as the melting snows begin to water the plants they once covered.
