"Nevermind" is 35 years old today. If I have to sit with that, so do all of my fellow olds.

Managed to add a few to the collection at a few used vinyl and "antiques" places around New Hampshire over the weekend. #vinyl #music

Headed into downtown New Bedford to check out the newly-unveiled statue of Herman Melville by sculptor Steff Rocknak today, since I wasn't able to sneak out of work for the unveiling itself. #photography #newbedford #massachusetts #publicart

Half dessert, half exercise in using up some pantry items. Banana bread with carob powder, toasted walnuts, and chopped dates. Also, gluten-free, since that's a thing I need to think about for family members now. #photography #cooking #food #foodphotography

A piece of "flong", essentially a papier-mâché mold used to cast a metal printing plate for a comic for a newspaper. This one is for the May 22, '77 Sunday "Peanuts" strip, and would have been used to print the black line art for the strip (there would have been others to print the colors.) #flong

Pressed play on "Master and Commander" tonight to be greeted with a "Contains tobacco depictions" warning. Disney, I grew up in the 1970s, when the entire world smelled of smoke. I can handle it.

A brief moment from last night's fantastic show by They Might Be Giants at the House of Blues in Boston. And they have another one tonight. Don't know how they do it. They're older than I am and my dogs were tired this morning. #concert #photography #boston #houseofblues

Headed out to Destruction Brook today looking for wildflowers; still a bit early, I guess. But some of the ferns are starting to unfurl. Plus, bonus critter hiding in plain sight. #photography #plants #dartmouth #massachusetts

Stopped out at Mass Audubon Stony Brook on the way home tonight for my daily walk instead of hitting the rail trail near my office. Haven't gone through all the photos, but I knew this one would finish up nicely as soon as I shot it. #photography #birds #wildlife #massachusetts

Well, this was the final number when I turned it in as the trade-in for a 2026 Accord Hybrid today. 296,132 miles over the last 12 years, which I would have hit a lot faster without 2 years of work-from-home in there. New one started at 8 miles.

Made a caramel-apple layer cake for my father-in-law's 90th today. Caramel application was a bit messy for me, and I only had the phone to grab a shot of the interior when it came time to serve it, but this was well-received. Very tasty. #photography #cooking #food #foodphotography

Screenshot of an AncestryDNA result suggesting the poser "has DNA that suggests their style preferences evolves with what's trending."

Which is hilarious.

IDKHOW at the ‘dise tonight. Great show. Don’t remember the last time I watched from the balcony here, but that's where the kiddo wanted to watch from. I was a strong contender for oldest guy in the room. Sigh. (For the record, I intro'd the kid to the band, not the other way 'round.)

The herring are running, which means that the Osprey are back and hunting at the Wareham herring run. They were mostly fishing away from the accessible part of the river, but a few ventured into camera range, like this bird with its successful catch. #photography #birds #wildlife

The reason Moby Dick is the most American novel ever written is because it is about a violent white man enacting a confusing revenge fantasy against a cheap source of oil.
