Just some thoughts and musings Truthfully, this might have been my longest hiatus yet - probably since college.Β  When you are grieving, life looks a little different. Sure...

The one thing about my creative journey coupled with the grief I've had the last few months is it's led to some interesting mini projects and thoughts about how to proceed forward #creative #photographersofbluesky

#SpringTraining vacation could've been longer. Should've been, probably.

Alas, missing the warm weather today 🌴

Also, it's fascinating to me how so many on this flight aren't familiar with regular seating. I'm amused by it πŸ˜… #travelthoughts

This might be because it's the first time I've flown #Southwest or it could be because I'm so used to lounge life by now, but Southwest needs a lounge in DCA πŸ›«

My friends, if Amazon, with all its governance and change control, is getting these kinds of outcomes, (respectfully) you have no chance.

The last three months or so have been a case study in "what happens next" in my life. A bit Doctor Who-ish maybe (cue the 11th doc era), but grateful for good friends that have been there...even if we don't get together as often as we used to.

You never truly get over the deaths of close ones, tho

Grew up reading Shirley Povich, Thomas Boswell, Christine Brennan, Michael Wilbon, Sally Jenkins, Tony K and others eloquent prose in the sports section.

They didn't deserve this. The WAPO sports section didn't deserve this.

We didn't deserve this.

Death of a Sports Section The Washington Post sports department was dismantled before its leaders gave it a chance to change

Anyway read @bryancurtis.bsky.social on what happened and why it didn't have to but for management indifference and incompetence

You know who covered sports at the Post as a "cultural and societal phenomenon"? Thomas Boswell, Sally Jenkins, Michael Wilbon, Tony Kornheiser, Jane Leavy, Shirley Povich, Christine Brennan, Mike Wise, Dave Kindred, John Feinstein, David Remnick, David Aldridge, Jerry Brewer, Dan Steinberg...

I wish I lived in a country where our elected officials in Congress had at least half the balls of E. Jean Carroll, Stormy Daniels, Christine Blasey Ford, Anita Hill, or the Epstein survivors.

Last night was fun, truly. This past weekend, also fun. Most I've smiled since November, actually.

Healing looks different to everyone. It takes time. Friendship matters as well.

"We understand this has been a rough holiday season for you, but let me tell you about my drama".

Guaranteed, I won't care. Truly. I'll just be sad that you're around my age and can't get affairs of state in your own life sorted πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

OTOH: I got some good news from a friend recently. Gave me hope πŸ™ŒπŸΎ

Got into #Billions recently. Reminds me of Suits, which I absolutely loved. Feels like the hedge-fund version of that

Dems went from being heroes to just being soft in record time. Might be a personal best for them

Man, this is heartbreaking for the Jays. They're really a great team and I hope they win a WS again in the modern era someday #WorldSeries
