grocery store shopping carts

If anyone was wondering where all the shopping carts went, I found them. Single file entry and exit, please. #grocery

Blue drink

My mom always told me not to drink windshield wiper fluid, but it looks so tempting when refrigerated. #yum #allnatural

Sunrise

What do they say about red skies at #morning? Good thing I'm not a sailor. #sunrise #greatday

pizza

This is the best #pizza I have ever made. I just need to remember to not put fresh tomatoes on next time. Too much liquid spoils the #crust.

Butterfly on edge.

#Butterfly pondering the #eternal.

Cat by computer

Don't forget, even our pets need #screentime limits. #PSA

Breakfast pizza.

I made a #pizza. But it's topped with #eggs. Surprise! #Breakfast for dinner, dinner for breakfast, I'm ambidextrous.

Cold temperature

#Brrr... #cold

Gingerbread house

One could be forgiven for thinking it's well past #gingerbread hous season. I am here to inform you gingerbread is still here and delicious.

Cat participates in shower time.

My wife took this photo while I was in the shower. Good thing my #cat has never seen #Psycho. Otherwise, I'd be a dead man by now. #hitchcockpresents

NYE spread...

#HappyNewYear everyone. I have a feeling it's going to be an #odd one. #2025

cinnamon rolls

Is this enough #cinnamon rolls for nine people? I'm not sure... especially when one of those people is me. #merryxmas #baking

star wars ornaments

I let the kiddo decorate the tree this year--he was uncharacteristically excited by the idea--and I have to say, Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes had better watch out! #starwars #icantshakehim

Christmas ornament

My son came home from school so proud of the treat he got himself at the #holiday #market. He's my number one bro.

sunrise clouds

#Morning has broken.

frost on grass

#Thanksgiving morning was frosty. But disc golf was calling for the seven-year-old. #pdga

Rabbit foot in parking lot.

#Unlucky rabbit's foot.

Elderberry tart

Hate to break it to #CBS and #JimNantz, but my #elderberry tart is the real "tradition unlike any other." Unfortunately, mine looks a little soupy this year. Nothing a night in the gararge won't fix. Happy #Thanksgiving! #baking

Cheap books

Got a stack of books for ten bucks. Only 20 years late to the @nealstephenson party. Pretty good for me. #reading

Draft of novel in progress.

Time for the check in on the new #novel. #Revision proceeds apace. Bulk of the #drafting is done (though there are still around 9K words outstanding). Easy peasy when I've already written 90K, right? #writing #author

You really took everyone on a magic carpet ride.

Two books on empire.

Guess what I've been thinking about. #empire

Mike Wazowski lobotomized.

Monsters Inc. 3 apparently takes a very dark turn. Who would've guessed the real villains would be squirrels? #pixar #faretheewell #rip

More than decent, I'd say. My four bucks don't even buy a coffee.

Chase in Pumpkin Patrol

Few people realize that when Ryder disbanded the #PawPatrol, Chase let himself go. He tried to make a comeback with the ill-fated "Pumpkin Patrol," which critics lampooned as "reminiscent of late-era #OrsonWelles." Too bad, really.

But the question is, is it a book half gone or a book half there?
