Let’s start an over 30 selfie thread ✨

"And what is this creation," my father asked, with another full spoonful hovering at his lips.

"Soup impromptu again," I replied with a subtle shrug. "Somewhere between Vegetable and Wonton."

Soup Impromptu, 12.01.25

Sometimes, it's good to step outside your comfort zone. Sometimes, it's best to remain.

This is my comfort zone as of late.

Without question. 😈

Friday night movie night in honor of Goldie Hawn's birthday. One of my all time favorites.

And Dudley Moore, in his supporting role, was just pure genius.

Beware of the dwarf...

Since the end of September, I've been writing every day, hours in the evening, defined as mine alone. This was the one, in mid-October, that stood tall. This was the fourth take, after i shrugged off my own perfectionism. It's really just how I'm feeling as of late.

After dinner and a movie, #dst had my Dad down for the count. His hearing aid is on the charger and I'm excavating, digging deep, taking it back... #4

(The Quad: Final Mix has got to be my most treasured vinyl remix EVER.)

Is it just me with this feeling of running late when Daylight Savings ends? I mean...I usually make the sauce around 2PM to simmer until 5, but there I was today, scrambling around the grocery at noon as if the world was going to end.

Heracles.

Same subject. Two photos. Thoughts?

The leaves are falling faster than they can be raked. Nature provides a cycle to learn from. I find myself correcting myself over and over, holding on to what I need to let go of.

It's better to let the leaves fall where they need to.

Best wishes to all.

One of those days...

First song that comes to mind?

Cheers.

Sunday vibes. A flashback...or a throwback...or whatever.

Going through photos on my phone and my hard drive lately and happening upon many that, for whatever reason, I didn't feel compelled to share instantaneously.

My father. My mother.

Tonight's vinyl. Obviously. Original pressing from 1978. My first favorite band. My brother John and I air-guitaring every song in our shared bedroom before life divided us.

A gray day. A gloomy day. A good day for some throwback vinyl... again, much thanks to the ever generous Vinyl King of Butler!

I'm folding scarves!!
