A local Dunkin Donuts remodeled and is quite modern now in decor and with wireless charging built into some tables

This is the first year we planted carrots in the garden. We don’t have the best soil for them. My wife was excited to pull one early to see how they were doing. Looking good so far! Needs another month or so to mature though. 🥕

Bloomin’ and bloomin’

Coming soon 🌺

Our dog has built herself a fort under the ottoman out of her bed, her blanket and at least a half dozen of her toys. 🛡

Hear me rooooaaaarrrr!

Photo of our 12 y/o son’s bedside table. He’s currently reading Leviticus from the Bible and book one of Churchill’s The Second World War. Nothing light about his bedtime routine. 📚

University mascot with attitude.

Also, a number of protests against China’s suppression of Tiananmen square discussion written in chalk.

Yesterday was completely overcast but today’s hotel room view is a bit better

Two for one at the hotel, made with a local bourbon

Contrails in the morning

Gotta have something to do while waiting for our dinner, right? 😉

It is an absolutely beautiful day today! I like the mix of cool old school buildings with modern ones.

Our son’s cohort after their 6th grade graduation walk. Their ‘one word’ for the year: resilience.

Our son graduated elementary school today (6th grade) and in lieu of an indoor event the school organized a drive thru parade with a GLOW theme. So we started attaching glowy balloons, glow sticks etc to my car. No final picture but here’s an in-progress shot.

It is so great to see and hear fans at Premier League games! And the players are really responding!⚽️

NB I need to clean my screen

These kushi oysters were so damn good!

First time eating in at our favorite sushi place in over a year. We all loved it.

I love a good Manhattan. Sadly mine are generally rather poor. But I tried a different vermouth today and the result was good. Not great but at least good. I shall persevere!

This end up ???

Cortado + seltzer at a local coffee shop.

I’m so glad to be able to do this again. No masks in sight today.

Lovely sky. Taking a break after spreading some top soil.
