Please wish this goodest of dogs a safe trip across the rainbow bridge this morning.. My brother's dog, Mr Man- I am never sorry I let him on the sofa even though we bent the rules a little. 💔

Up at 4:30 am with the old dog. By 10 am I had cleaned the kitchen, boiled potatoes ( a MUST when Irish) mowed the lawn, showered, was en route to run errands for Mother. Stopped at a farm market & got an apple cinnamon scone. Good afternoon from the porch.

In 1972, the Strasenburg Planetarium, then 4 years old, had Rochester Community Players to narrate an Isaac Asimov story "The Last Question" for a presentation. Tonight, SP had a retro night & brought this out of the vault in all its hand-drawn glory. And I heard my dad's 39 year old voice.

Decided to try to do a good thing in Moms last months with us. Got an Airbnb on the Big Lake. Last night everyone came over for pizza & apps. A cutthroat game of Crazy 8s. Wine & popcorn. Board games. And a glorious sunset. For once I feel like I did something right.

Lots of yard work today. Now it's time to sit by the grill & wait for my veggie burger. Good afternoon from the back yard.

Did I read Wuthering Heights? I'm an English teacher- I read it a dozen times. Will I see the movie? Of course, in all its ridiculous glory. Did I watch the trailer? Yes & read the comments:

Tomorrow we drive to the mountains to comfort our brother whose wife died yesterday. It feels unreal. We are all distraught. She always fed us. Trying to pay it forward, Ann. For you. ❤️

I have now read two popular fiction & one nonfiction books that are horrible. I'm going back to the two I was reading before this. Maybe I should just start looking for the gold seal...

My mom gave me this to donate to Goodwill. 1977 Star Wars lunchbox thermos. Don't think it's ever been used. I did not donate it.

Found this news source @groundnews.bsky.social from @underthedesknews.bsky.social . The Blindspot feature is great for seeing which side of the news is being underreported in blue/red leaning publications.

There was a major train/ semi crash in Fairport last night. Major roadway. Major train junction. These are the top 3 "news" articles as of 8:49 am: Are roads open? Did anyone contact Amtrak or CSX? Will I be able to get to that fall bucket list?!? I remember when we had a newspaper in the town....
