#2026 One of my absolute #favoritethings at the Dragon Express in #Temecula, #California

I watched this, and laughed so hard. The Dick Van Dyke Show in the 1960s was priceless. Laughter, laughing at our human foibles, is the best medicine.

Lychee's Final Goodbye

Today, after 17.5 years, we had to say our final goodbye to Lychee. She was the softest cat we've ever had with the most musical voice.

We're going to miss listening to her chirping at the birds and squirrels outside the front window, and her licking the vents. 😄

But mostly, we'll miss the routines. How she greeted us every morning and was with my wife whenever she was working. How she always came to me when I made my coffee, and how she watched us come home from the deck doors.

She was spicy, and we thought that meant she'd live forever. Unfortunately, her kidneys were failing, she had arthritis, and she had lost a lot of weight. We're devastated by losing her, but we didn't want her to be in any more pain.

We love you Lychee and will never forget you. 💔

Blooming Cacti are also some of my #FavoriteThings. I love the contrast between the sharp thorns and the delicate flower. For years I considered these a self-portrait. #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #WestCoastKin

This is a photo I took overlooking St. John’s Trunk Bay—one of my favorite places. In the off season, it becomes so quiet and even more beautiful. Before the trade winds pick up, the breeze feels like a sweet caress mimicked by the tides. The bay cups a blue gradient from clear aquamarine to deep indigo. Tropical green trees, distant mountains, and companion islands frame the small stretch of perfect powder-soft sand. The blue sky above holds fluffy clouds—the slow kind that morph into fairytale creatures. It’s one of the few places I actively miss and dream about. I found a piece of myself on this tiny island, under a Jumbie Tree.

I look at this photo on dreary days. My new haiku sums up how it feels to stand in St. John’s soft waves.

Gentle wind is a local autumn kigo, as the trade winds slacken between summer and their winter peak.

#BlueskyArtShow #FavoriteThings #Caturday #AlphabetChallenge #WeekXforXmas #ColorADay #GreenSat Olly, my cat is definitely one of my favorite things (even if he does climb up in the Christmas tree and chew on it)! #EastCoastKin #CatsOfBluesky #XmasTree #Macro

Macro shot. A long-haired orange kitten is lying on the upper branches of a Christmas tree, his paw around one branch, and he's trying to chew on the tree. There aren't any decorations on the tree yet, other than Olly. :)

#BlueskyArtShow #FavoriteThings #Hiking on the Central Coast of California is one of my favorite things. This shows the Morro Bay estuary from Black Hill. #EastCoastKin #Hiking #MorroBay #LandscapePhotography

Two hikers are standing on top of a large boulder at the summit of Black Hill near Morro Bay, California. They are taking in the view of Morro Bay estuary, roads, Los Osos, and the surrounding mountains. There is a tree on the right side of the frame. Black Hill trail, Morro Bay, California. Morro Rock would be to the right of the photo.

Today’s #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #FavoriteThings which for me are pelicans and any ocean. These pelicans were flying along the shore at iconic Cannon Beach on the Oregon coast last summer #seascapes #photography #landscapes #pelicans #birds #WestCoastKin #PNW

It's Dragon Age day!

I might as well use this to kick off a list of my #FavoriteThings of the year.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard was once again my favorite game of the year. I did a fairly thorough playthrough of it as a rogue this year. I've still never played as a mage, so that'll be next.

Emmrich Volkarin is holding a skull in his hand, and he and Neve Gallus are both looking at it. They're in Neve's quarters, with wisps flying around behind her.

a good long list of #favoriteThings in an appendix in the back. Thank you, Ross Gay.

@Waitnwallflower yellow leaves against a blue sky is one of my #favoriteThings!
thank you for reminding me.

"I don’t understand it. I’m a tea snob. Lipton is unacceptable. It’s not tea — at all. And yet when I fly anywhere, there’s this thing in me that relishes a hot tea.
