On those days I get out my beads and make a new watchband for my Apple watch. The end pieces are remarkably inexpensive.

A three-stranded apple watch band with howlite (white), jasper (red) and moss agate (green) beads. I wear it for Christmas and Mexican holidays. FYI 6 mm stone beads, 2 mm spacers

I'm just riveted by this weird reflection in one of the pictures that makes Miller look like an alien...

A close up of the pictures on the table behind Trump. A red arrow points at a picture that seems to reflect Miller as a creepy alien.

I'd tell you to sneak over and cut off the sail, but you might be MY neighbor...

A bronze wind chime with the word "SAIL" pointing at the flat disc hanging below the tubular chimes that catch the wind. FYI on a nice chime, the sail is detachable!

Here's a helpful graphic I stole for one of my lectures!

I used magnetic hooks to mount my beaded curtain in the doorway to my back room. It provides a surprisingly effective visual barrier, and is easily pulled back (again, with a loop on a magnetic hook). It sends a nice "stay out" message to students while still being open for me.

A bamboo curtain with a sunset behind a palm tree. It provides a visual barrier in a doorway. It is suspended from magnetic hooks.

The same bamboo curtain, now help back by a bit of string hooked to another magnetic hook. You can see the ugly back room that the curtain hides.

@theotherhappyplace.bsky.social saw this in the art gallery on my cruise and thought of you. Yours is better!

OK, but I'm gonna hold out for a Sears Wish Book.

Cover of the 1975 Sears toy catalog, which they dubbed the Wish Book. Very white children playing with VERY gender-specific toys in red, white and blue colors dominating.

That's why I always bring a tray of fresh baked dinner rolls.

A full cookie sheet of fresh baked yeast rolls, glistening with melted butter and ready to delight Thanksgiving Dinner guests.

I'm begging you, PLEASE, when you drop in to say "Hi, Remember me?" INTRODUCE YOURSELF. I mean, come on, I last saw you when you were 14 and wearing braces. Now you're almost 30, weigh 50 lbs more, and your face is completely different.
