Boy could I go for a ciggie

So far is that strange film that basically follows the book which was lyrical and floated, but the movie feels like it is plodding along

Giving myself a pep talk, while I watch a movie where a girl is driving recklessly, and I actually have to coach myself to remember that it’s OK if she crashes - it’s a movie, it’s a story being told,and I don’t have to experience the upset personally

Bee-yootifull!

great book by Carl Bernstein -- "The Last of the President's Men" -- amazing inside info on the almost tangential way the existence of 'tapes' was revealed!

c'est la vie!

dude goes from specialty coffee orders to the French Revolution pretty darn fast, that's a lot to skip over.

a beautiful bee busies itself in a lavender bloom. Many more such blooms are in sharp focus, as well as the beautiful dusty green foliage of the lavender bush. The background of the photo is a beautiful backdrop mottle of out-of-focus purples and greens.

o! the joy of #spring! so near!

this bee didn't appreciate my getting closer & closer for "the perfect photo" so I backed off, and let the dear fuzzball do its thing. So, ladies & gentlemen of the #garden: this is the best I could do.

We looove sleeping with just the screen door closed, when the season‘s gifts include horned owls calling, among other joys.

I hate this repulsive development in the land of the brave and the free.

You, in another decade.

Tom Cruise as Les Grossman in "Tropic Thunder" is truly the greatest thing Cruise has ever done, bar none, full stop, end of story, don't like the guy very much but I never don't laugh at clips of him from that film.

I'm out of expressions of dismay

a beautiful small grey tufted oak titmouse perches in a tangle of winter-bare wisteria tendrils that have grown into, around & over a pine tree. The exquisite little bird is seen at its best: against a sharp blue late-winter California sky.

good morning from my back yard!

tired of winning yet?

has it been a minute since I last offered up an "I'm always hungry!!!" post?

because I AM STARVING! All the time!

thank goodness - or God, whatever floats your spiritual boat - for this strong human being.

#bless this man

a world with such beauty in it, can't be all bad - thank goodness for nectarine blossoms! 🌱 #garden #joy

I will say they did make an unforced error right off the bat, call it a calculated mistake, but I can't feel sorry for them!

... And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry* hung with snow.

*or whichever!

oh no! Dear Sara, oh no!

Putting all good energy into What's Next for you!!

"Oh, Joe. You're too wonderful for anyone to realize you."

(apologies to Our Town)

you're such a solid guy, but just not much of a #Survivor strategist.
