#HappyBirthday to the all time international treasure, the late great, #GordonLightfoot . I am lucky enought to share the day with him. This is 46. 🤠🎶🎂

It is an exciting time of the year for my 4th graders as over the next week they will all learn the greatness that is #GordonLightfoot. It begins with Edmund Fitzgerald day today and next Monday the late, great Lightfoot's birthday. #HeavyOnTheLightfoot

A wonderful weekend for Wisconsin sports. #BadgerFootball upsets Washing at Camp Randall and #BadgerHockey continues their exciting season with a sweep of Michigan on the road. #OnWisconsin 🏈🦡🏒

Now that November has arrived, it is safe to say that the softball season is over for me and my "Slow Pitch Squatch Sticks" can go into hibernation until May. 🦧👣🥎💣 #SpeakSoftlyAndCarryABigfootStick #KeepItSquatchy #LikeAHoss

Happy Halloween 🎃

Patriotism defined…

With a crop already full of pocket gopher, this Red-tailed Hawk has little room for the rest so I grabbed a bunch of captures with its beak stuffed full up on a power pole over the cholla patch.

💙 Good morning Bluesky! Time for the #BirdOfTheDay theme and it is #Beakful , so anything in the beak from food to nest material...🌿

...which made me think of my Red-tailed Hawk finishing its pocket gopher-lunch off. 🫣🪶

If you squint, you can see snow flurries flying through my portrait frame of a Red-tailed Hawk turning its head to face the setting sun that is flooding the pine canopy around the hawk with golden light and shadows. Zen birding.

Someone sure left that damn Red-tailed Hawk file open...🌿

Tuesday night, we finished the job, going undefeated and taking home the Fall Softball Silver League Championship. 🤠🥎🏆

Weird how the Fascists want to declare Anti-Fascists a terrorist organization.

everything is a joke but nothing is funny anymore

A full year of softball comes to an end tonight as I play my last game of 2025, in the Fall Silver League Championship Game. What a year of ball it has been! 🤠🥎💣

I haven't seen Owliver yet today, although the Crows are going nuts, so I suspect he's in the backyard somewhere. Spotted this gorgeous Red-tailed Hawk though on my morning walk just a few trees away from our place in #SantaBarbara. #birds #Photography #Nature #Raptors

Fridays are always fantastic, but they reach another level when there's new #WaylonJennings music to ring in the weekend!

The biggest surprise for me at this point of my adult life is how many shirts I own that have a possum on them. This is largely due to merch from @willicarlisle.bsky.social , #JohnRMiller , and @mypoliticmusic.bsky.social !

Northbound with the hammer down headed for a one-of-a-kind night of music with #WilliCarlisle at the #ShowboatSaloon 🤠👸💣🎶🔥

Spent the morning at the pitch with my two favorite soccer players. #SoccerDad
