A shocking headline about news the world must act upon right now...story behind a paywall.

Patience tested at the grocery store today. This, the one time of year everyone is looking for the one ingredient for the one weird thing they cook for everyone exactly once a year.

And no one can find a damn thing, but they'll gladly stand in your way.

Yes,we call it debt and it accrues interest.

Leaning heavily on my public library for some recent projects needing loads of research. Since no one in their right mind should deface a library book, I've kept an index card loaded with book darts as a defacto bookmark.

Simple, convenient.

Bonus points if it doesn't happen in your pants

Becca in charcoal at 10 and 20 minutes. More to come with tonight's life drawing.

Got the flu shot today. Then I went to an art class and dogsat for five hours, just in time to start feeling like crap

HAS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SOLVED ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS YET?

Gmail, once an unprecedented leader in the email space (no ads? A gig of space? Holy 2004!) is now a bloated bit of junk.

Their recommendations of what emails are priority or need my attention is always wrong. And the new ad formats they push to the mobile app are unforgivable.

I just want email.

My super secret skill is never asking for help.

More travels, more photos. Working out way up the New England coast.

On the Cape May Ferry this morning, NJ bound. Lots of movement this week. Loads of new photos

Hurricane Helene – A Year Later It is still raining this morning. Last night I drove home in the pitch dark in a downpour. The forecast ahead is that kind of uncertain where it’s never really going to clear up over the next few days...

Haven't hit "publish" on something like this in a while.

Can we send him samples to assess? Got a box of tissues here...

Messed around with all the "wrong" settings yesterday. You can do anything you want with a camera, that's the nifty thing about it.

This set is gorgeous.

My dog got to see the Wienermobile without me and I'm kinda mad about it.

I've done a lot of thinking lately about what I want to do next now that I've given up marketing and copywriting. Fortunately, my brain trust is robust with the finest minds of our time....meet Rocco

Do I want a career? Or do I just want to play with dogs and spend my days fixing things that would otherwise go obsolete?
