What about the pears?
The before and after of a house fire. Thank goodness there's an after! All is well. But check your smoke alarms - NOW!
Trees and cicadas. Tree-cadas.
A quick bike trip to the U.S. National Arboretum. Conifers and cicadas for your viewing pleasure. Hope you like them!
Fifteen minutes for full potency
Back In the Family. Ten magical days speaking in familect, walking the neighborhood, talking trash/ playing poker (interchangeable), eating home cooked meals, White Castles and a multi-meat meal at Salt and Smoke
Flying
On the vagaries of nonsensical panic, the gallantry of a good man, and my (possible) return to airplane grace, with a little love for DCA
Party time
Don't succumb to short-timers' syndrome. Have a lemonade or a beer or a shrub, and let's give some thanks on Saturday May 1st from 7-9 PM EDT on the House Party app.
A bitters experiment
Tried out the bitters and have only good things to say about it. Just two splurts will do it, though seven is good too! (Add a saxophone if you've got one handy.)
