Deep thinking in your 40’s…. “I wish Sephora was in Costco instead of a mall…”

My love is home and once again our lives are filled with music. And if he plays well enough I’ll let him off the dog bed onto the couch. @scottatkinson1.bsky.social

Yesterday my son came up to me insisting I attach this hat to this whale. Another reason why parenthood is great and kids have it figured out. We’d all be better off if whales had some policing responsibilities. @scottatkinson1.bsky.social

Wade, the best dog ever, passed this week. Keep this guy in your thoughts and prayers as he makes his way to the next part of the journey. He loved apples and we will be scattering his ashes underneath our apple tree. Thank you #americanblackandtancoonhoundrescue for bringing him into our lives.

When your favorite person in the world is only home for one day between trips to save the planet we love bomb him! @scottatkinson1.bsky.social

Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods. The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandparents again. The moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs. Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love. Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies. Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down on an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know. Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry.

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.

So a supercharged US Digital Service to get antiquated government up to civilian standards when it comes to basic tech? Fine by me except for the part about no transparency & a hopelessly conflicted tech mogul with massive federal contracts given total power. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
