If you haven't read/listened to James by Percival Everett, do it now. It is a profound, life-altering masterpiece of a book. Reimagining Huck Finn from Jim’s perspective, it is sharp, brilliant, and devastating - one of my top 10 books of all time. 📖✨🛶 #BookSky #PercivalEverett

Doodles are the besting fishing dogs. My labradoodle, Clover, often tries to help cast, and land the fish. Once she even save a fish that broke free right at shore. She had none of that and jumped into the water and gently retrieved the fish with only a couple of small punctures. 🐶❤️🎣

Aurora in Juneau, Alaska, 1/20/26. At 5:15 a.m. I woke up my 13-year-old. We went outside and stood, awestruck as the shapes danced and pulsated above our heads. We marveled at how small and connected we both felt to universe. It was a beautiful way to start the day.
