It's after midnight so it is now my late husband's birthday. He was a decade older than me so we always knew he might go first (I hated it when he reminded me of this fact), but we never really talked seriously about what to do when it happened. Thought we'd have more time. 😭
Picture of Kevin G. Austin sitting on an off white leather couch that belonged to his parents but got handed down to us. He's a middle aged white man with short blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a black shirt and  dark grey jeans with a very white Norwegian Forest Cat on his lap (the late great Isbjorn), the lighting makes Isbjorn appear to be glowing. This was taken in our living room a decade ago probably. There is a dark blue curtain behind the couch with silver stars on it. My iPad is on the couch arm. Kevin is looking at me.

Laurel here again (@windowseat.bsky.social), the person lucky enough to have been married to Kevin for 19 years. I haven´t posted a link to his obituary yet here I guess. Here it is (I did my best, sorry it is so long, still does not cover enough IMHO): www.washburn-mcreavy.com/obituaries/k...

I did import his tweets into this account, though it is not all of them of course. And if you follow me as @wintwins.bsky.social or @windowseat.bsky.social I am sure you have seen me sharing a bunch of them. Have to click through to see the posts to see actual dates stuff was posted on the bird app.

I have a section of links about Kevin or having to do with Kevin on my Linktree linktr.ee/LaurelKrahn that also has ways you can contact me or support me. His Discord is still open, I am active here (windowseat.bsky.social) & elsewhere. I miss him so damn much. 💔😭
A picture of Kevin G. Austin, a white man with blonde hair & blue eyes, who is wearing a dark grey silk Hawaiian shirt with flowers & baseballs and baseball bats on it. He is seated at a booth in a restaurant with his forearms on the table. His wife is across the table taking the picture. He isn´t smiling with his mouth (it is in the usual straight line) but with his eyes.

This is Laurel, the lucky person who was married to Kevin for 19 years, reporting the very sad news (in case you haven´t heard) that Kevin passed away suddenly on Monday (11/11/24) (peacefully, in his sleep we think). I am devastated. 💔 I am here as @windowseat.bsky.social & @wintwins.bsky.social

So very pleased by this well-deserved honor. Carlos Santana (the baseball player for the Minnesota Twins, that is) wins his first Gold Glove. Never imagined that at age 38 he'd wind up playing such amazing defense. 30 second video of highlights over on the bad place: twitter.com/i/status/185...
Graphic swiped from the Twins account on the bird app. "Winner!" in gold above multiple pictures of Carlos Santana w here they've made his glove gold in the picture. It says "Carlos Santana | 1B" at the bottom. Has the Gold GLove Award logo at the top.

I have the lowest expectations of the Gold Glove Awards so this was a pleasant surprise. Still grumpy Joe Mauer didn't win at least one Gold Glove Award at 1st base (there was one year he should've won). And forever grumpy that the best defensive 1st baseman I've seen (Hrbek) never won one.

I'll note, if you live in Minnesota (and probably in other states) you can download the Docket app and sign up, and it will give you your immunization records. I got this back when it was a useful way to prove my "vaccinated against COVID" status but it also tracks all the other immunizations!
