Nearly 34 million sq ft of retail space in American shopping malls is vacant. Meanwhile, the USA faces a housing deficit of 4.5 million homes. Supply, meet demand, would you live in a converted mall? www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1GI...
Zephaniahβs first bath (11 weeks old)
Day 6, post-op after fractured scapula from slip & fall on icy patch this winter.
Rainy snow outside, indoors & dry w/ this little guy. The snuggle is real.
Itβs a great one, agreed! Loving all the pre-code B&W Hollywood this month.
In other news, we got a new puppy. His name is Zeff & heβs simply too cute. Wiggly joy every day.
Really enjoyed reading RED CLAY SUZIE by @jeffreydlofton.bsky.social. This is #queer smalltown #Southern #literature at its finest. Heartrending at times, the sunny realizations, small dramas & pops of joy illustrate the inner life of a gay youth navigating self-discovery in the Deep South. #books

2,000-yr old Roman mosaic in Tunisiaβs incredible Bardo Museum.
Waving hello behind a 2,000-year old Punic mask in Tunisia. Currently bouncing around the globe for work but some things are universal.
Diving in the Strait of Hormuz off the coast of Oman. Never mind the gunboat that just whizzed past on the surface. Saw a barracuda as big as me.
Exploring Rinpung Dzongβthe fortress on the heap of jewelsβin western Bhutan. Nothing beats the brilliant blue skies of the Himalaya. Glad to be back in this beautiful country that I love, among such kind & compassionate people. π§πΉ
Met this wonderful dog @ 10,000 ft elevation while hiking in the Himalaya. Totally serene, just chilling, concentrating on the valley below. I will always judge a nation by how they treat their dogs π. Bhutan sets a high standard for compassion towards every living thing. π§πΉ
Sweaty climb down from the 17th-century Tigerβs Nest Monastery in Bhutan. Thrilled to be back in one of my favorite countries on the planet. Blessed w/ lovely weather & surrounded by terrific friends. Eating so many chilies. πΆοΈ
