Less than a month after Independence Day, the monarchs have returned.

My backyard’s all aflutter with them.

(And I’m sure they love me deerly.)

SIX deer in my yard just now!

Two parents plus four feisty frolicking fawns!



I am eating watermelon while watching “Game of Thrones” DAMN YOU STANNIS Season 3.

It’s a vibe.



(Where would the buttons even be?)

This morning I unwrapped a microwave pizza and patiently proceeded to place it in the kitchen cabinet to heat up.

Was I just really tired? Or am I old and stupid?



DISGUISE MODE.

See what I did there?

Mid-life is what you make it.


“The Nolan” is the name for “highly sought-after, exotic” lizard-skin cowboy boots … You can’t make this stuff up.

A reporter friend of mine passed this along. Life is so weird.

The Internet tells me that “The Nolan is a highly sought-after exotic boot known for its unique scale pattern, natural sheen, and supple feel.” They’re handmade in Mexico. Uh … thanks, Tecovas.

Hey, man, I’ll take it. (Coulda been urinal cakes or something.) Maybe they’ll pay me to be their spokesman.



the air is burning

that is all

“Oh shit — that was today?”

I need to get that on a t-shirt.

The back of the t-shirt could read, “Sorry.”



Polka-dot beetle!!

Polka-dotus beetlicus.

[Update — it has been brought to my attention that this creature is some iteration of Virginia’s most maligned invasive species, the spotted lantern fly.]
