A playbill for "Tales from the Script" that looks like an old pulp comic cover. It says "Greater Lafayette Playwrights present: Tales from the Script". An evening of Spooky staged readings from local playwrights. At Matchbox Coworking Studio - 17 South 6th Street Lafayette. 7 PM October 14th and 15th."

Attention dudes and dudettes, and lovely in-betweeners. First time ever in my life I ran a whole 5k and a little extra. And when I say run, I mean "jogged but not walked". Still a major thingie for an old guy like me. #Running #HoosierMast #Indiana #health

Old guy selfie - white hair, earbuds in my ears, thick glasses. The blue sky behind me looking up. One fist raised in the air triumphantly like a flabby Rocky Balboa.

I'm at the national Esperanto conference in Cleveland. While the train ride did not exactly work out as planned, I am here, safe, and having fun. How many words can you understand? Mi ne komprenas "Cross-Fit". #Esperanto #LandaKongreso #Cleveland #Ohio

My wife and I are rewatching M*A*S*H #TV series for grins and giggles. One thing that stood out to me was a Season 3 episode where it was disclosed that Klinger was openly Atheistic, and Father Mulcahy was totally OK with it. Wow, like in 1980 or so? #Atheism #MASH

So, #Indiana friends: when you set up you new account on #HoosierSocial, try to tell us a little about yourself, and make it... not this. While there is something poetic about it, I lament the future when these spammers get smarter.

The #NoKings march in #LafayetteIN was lit. Many thousands of people. Less positively, I saw a masked gunman wearing all black high in the capital building.

Me, posing with an inflated frog person. You can't spell hope without hop.

Going down stairs with marchers as far as the eye can see.

A lone gunman, with a full helmet and facemask. This ninja is wearing all black, against a white limestone building.

Kind of a good snapshot of the Trump foreign policy, right here

Text from an article about the Iran war: "(Trump) has said that his goal is "freedom for the people" of Iran, but then said he has “three very good choices” in mind as to who he will install to take over the country, although he later said “actually, nevermind, we killed those choices."

Maggie cat is a tabby, rarely seen by humans. She's definitely a teenager, because she stays upstairs in her room unless she comes down to the kitchen to eat. She's a loner, man.

When my watch doesn't detect my sleep the night before it presents me with this. It took me more time than I should have to realize this was not a puzzle: a six-letter word with the third letter an H and the last letter an M.

Hi folks. I know what you're thinking: "Hey there, Scotto. Can we see some pics of your shy kitty Maggie under the Christmas tree?" Well, dear reader - wish granted!

Maggie kitty is a tabby, underneath the tree on a tree skirt.

Maggie is a bit closer on the tree skirt, looking directly at the camera.
