Me after last night’s dinner
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.
Chemtrails and a Chinook. Oh no!!!
Note: I don’t believe in chemtrails.
After the rains
A bashful flower 🌸

First time in a very long time: hanging out at a local indie coffee shop on a rainy day getting some work done. ☕️
It’s a glorious day for some patio time. Being in Texas we have to cherish these before the summer heat sets in.
I built a spice/condiment rack on my wife’s outdoor potting bench/cooking station. Pictured with and without her charcoal hibachi and sterno grills. This bench sits next to our Weber grill.
Chores all morning. Now being lazy in perfect weather.
We all went to the patio after Easter dinner for a nice chat and chill time together followed by the kids doing a duet of the song 1, 2, 3. A great end to the most important day on our calendar. Perfect weather for it too. Feet up! 🧦
Now with some furniture and the grill out. Not seen: potting bench.
Lots of landscape work and sod needed next. 🌸 🌺 Garden, also not seen, is off to a great start. 🪴
Our new back patio is ready for use. We assembled our new patio furniture today and will set everything out tomorrow. The furniture was easy. Breaking down all…the…cardboard for recycling aged me 😂 Next up is to refresh the landscaping.
My wife got her Moderna dose #1 today and didn’t feel like a meal so I ate out with our 12 y/o son. Dinner topic: the properties and use of hydrogen.
Photo: a very well done Manhattan. 🍸
Today’s project: stain, seal and then assemble a potting workbench for my better half. She likes it so I’m happy 😃
N.B. We’re keeping it inside a couple of days until the backyard work is finished. 🪴
