But not more interesting than volcanoes, really. LOL

Sometimes I feel like it’s worth reminding everyone: Humans are NOT the most interesting thing on the planet.

Did I invest in a bird feeder because I like birds or because I like drama?

If my entire feed was about volcanoes erupting, life would be good.

Got carded today……..

I just rescued a little lizard who was stuck in a bin in my garage, and it totally made my day. Lizards are adorable! But lizards don’t really live around Seattle, do they? Where did he come from? Will he survive? 🦎

Got a mansplainer in your life? This one’s for you.

This year, Seattle had not only June-uary but also August-tober.

One month of summer is not enough. I need a vacation home.

You know you’ve been to Phoenix too many times in a year when you start recognizing the airport employees.

Paris 2024:
Art is not dead.

I feel the urge to dig out all my Debussy CDs now.

Thanks Paris Olympics!

I seldom make it through an Olympics opening or closing ceremony without crying, but I try to hold out til the end of the show.

But Notre Dame’s bell ringing for the 1st time since the fire?

No sense in keeping these eyes dry.
