So much stubborn affection for this strange little airport. The whole thing makes no sense at all in 2026. But I’m always so pleased to land here.

I’m fighting a morning migraine so I’m late for our mandatory morning walk. Cattle dog “shark attack” incoming. (Please note this dog didn’t even like walks when we got her, so she maybe can temper her faux outrage just a little).
Small brown cattle dog with large upright ears stares intently at her owner off camera, poised to jump on owner’s face because this dog is adorable but also savage about her mandatory morning walks.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains

Hmm. The original (bunk to begin with but whatever) and the WH version. Context matters. The original made Grant look scruffy and Lee pompous but the key players are the wingmen. Grant’s guys were ready to keep throwing down. Cropping them out and popping the highlights on Lee changes the message.

Sweet Daisy enjoyed the morning until she decided to fall asleep so she could wake up and do it all over again. An excellent plan really.

I had a mini mincemeat pie! (Ok, fine, I had two. And a sand tart cookie).

Yes, Ernesto would like to confirm that he is indeed just a baby who never did anything wrong in his entire life.

Supplemental Trial Cannoli Report: Second week of personal injury trial in Tucson. I have a rule that I don’t pass up cannoli when I’m traveling for work. It usually brings me a little joy. This time I should have made an exception.
Disappointing cannoli in a clear plastic box.

Mango Chamoy Sherbet + Apple Crisp is probably one of the best ideas I’ve had in the last decade.
A white bowl of apple crisp with a bit oat topping plus a scoop of Mango Chamoy Sherbet from HEB. HEB is a Texas grocery store. The mango sherbet has a spicy ribbon of chamoy flavor through it to wake up your taste buds.

Chocolate chip, molasses cookies, and amaretti. None of these are “pretty” but they taste amazing.

Hmmmm. Do I want to make the traditional family Christmas cookies (sand tarts, peanut butter balls, Sicilian fig cookies) or do I want to try something new? If so, what?

This is one of the most entertaining accounts of Sicilian history I’ve found. Like listening to a family scrapbook going back to the ancient tribes. Both of my family’s villages of origin got brief shoutouts! (One was for a devastating earthquake. But still cool.)
Audio book cover showing photo of lush and scenic Sicilian highway, with Romanesque arches along a Mediterranean coast.  Book title is Inventing Sicily by Jaime Mackey. Read by John Lee.

Never underestimate the power of the law library.
