We haven’t had trick or treaters since the Fishtown days—very excited for tonight and am making a play to be THAT house with the full size candy offerings

First visit to Wrigley, and the Cubs walked it off in the 10th. A+ baseball experience.

Started on the Valley Flyer, ended on the Keystone. Shout out to the Amtrak staff at 30th St who move you to the front of the boarding line when accompanied by a kid in a #Phillies hat.

Happy first day of Northern Hemisphere summer. Current temperature of the Green River is an invigorating 64 degrees Fahrenheit!

Don’t like moving wildlife around, but this tiny turtle was in the middle of a busy path. What a cutie!

From Pittsfield to Lenox. Will be another few weeks before everything’s green, but still looking good on a sunny April day ☀️

The local paper recently featured a front page photo of Emerson the alpaca who does not respect his electric fence. All hail Emerson!

Photo of a white fuzzy alpaca sitting in the middle of a road. Caption reads: Emerson the alpaca, owned by Stephanie and Howard Moore, enjoys the sun on Monday afternoon on Riverbank Road in Northampton. “Emerson does not have any respect for the electric fence, especially with his winter coat on,” explained Stephanie. “He must be enjoying the warm pavement”

Visited DC last week and saw the new pandas playing in a snow flurry, so there’s that

Absolutely did not spend a substantial chunk of post-holiday time playing Rocky training montages while repeatedly flipping a plastic hot dog to find the winning algorithm and crush my family

A bonus because I was extra, extra good this year. Tria’s as good as it ever was, and everyone in green seems very happy (perhaps there was a sporting event that went well?)

The traditional homemade holiday gingerbread ice cream. It’s cold and spicy warm at the same time, perfect way to end a midwinter meal.

Totally obsessed with this ginkgo tree in front of my office on campus

A large ginkgo tree with yellow leaves on its lower two thirds, and rust-colored leaves at the top. The sky behind the tree is dramatically cloudy.

They figured out they can spell PEE with their hats. Easiest time I’ve ever had getting them to pose.

I can cheese snob with the best of them, but when ordering a chicken cheesesteak, this is the correct default

Cape Cod is great, but there’s something about the Jersey Shore. Also, RIP Gillians Wonderland Pier…another small, family-focused amusement park bites the dust 😢
