Someone asked me to "please stop" with my posts about the Oxford comma. After careful consideration, I’ve determined that I’m unable to abide by such an unreasonable, discourteous, and ill-mannered request.

Does not look comfortable. Not at all. But you do you. #squirrel #relaxation

Our Little Man loves our new down comforters from #Brooklinen. We’ll love them even more when #winter arrives.

Beautiful fawn in our yard. So sweet. 🥰

Enjoyed dinner at #BurghDawg in #FederalGalley on #Pittsburgh’s North Side. Then enjoyed a walk around the surrounding blocks. A tour of historic #CarnegieHall, now #NewHazlettTheater, was a pleasant surprise. Right place, right time. Fun to be a resident tourist.

My first #backgammon tourney in #Pittsburgh.

At my happy place for a reception to welcome #SharifBey home to #Pittsburgh. #WarholMuseum #art #ceramics

Likely that this is going to be the norm between now and 1A. Heaviest #rain we’ve had in a while. #WesternPA

Great #rock concert at #StarLake in #Pittsburgh this evening. #Dorothy + #STP + #Godsmack. 🤘 #RnR

Our Little Man loves the #sun. #cats #catnap

Big thanks to Team #USA and #JasonsDeli for the free Deli Club #sandwich. It was especially delicious. Go Team USA! ⚽️ 🥅 #deli #WorldCup

Someone just informed me that they find the Oxford comma to be “overrated and unnecessary." I find such comments to be discourteous, disrespectful, and unwarranted.

Our Old Man and Little Man like being close to each other when #catnapping. #cats #brotherlylove

After forcing myself to watch 4 episodes of #CapeFear on @netflix.com, I must stop. It’s awful. Why? 1. Too many story lines. I have yet to see the primary theme of revenge. 2. Too many characters. Why add a son to torment? Why add a daughter to assist with the tormenting? Meaningless drivel.

Our Old Man is 13 years old. And he’s still got it. BTW, when he gets up there, he wants us to see him and brag on him. We always do. #cats #tribe

#Cats rule our home. Just ask our Big Boy and Little Man.

Two of our boys found a new place to #catnap. #cats #brotherlylove

I’ve shared photos in the past of Big Mama and her 2 beauties, who hung with her closely for 2 years. We recently saw that these two are #bucks. Here’s a photo of one of the boys who visited today. We hadn’t seen Mama for a few weeks. The last time we saw her, she was clearly pregnant. #deer

Good looking young #buck. #deer

I love a good #sandwich. #JasonsDeli does a bang up job. I cannot get away from their #reuben. Plus, their free #icecream cones are tasty yummy.

Our Old Man and Big Boy are #cat napping buddies.

This #Jake #Turkey is a handsome dude. Probably ~4 years old.

Been there. #Animals

And Little Man also loves my shoes. #cats

This is how a #pizza slice should break away from the pie. It simply refuses to untether and stretches to the plate. BTW, when I picked up the slice and bent it to take my first bite, the tip did not bend. 🙂 Dee-lish! 🍕 #MonteCello #CranberryPA

Our Little Man loves to play in boxes. #cats

Memories of #Lyon and their #musuem of fine #arts. Gallery 230 is incredible. #Renoir, #Manet, #Martin, #Gauguin, #Degas, #Rodin, #Sisley, #Monet, #Cezanne, and an unassuming #VanGogh. Bee line to this gallery.

A great thing about any #coffee cafe is how the environment enables the ability to engage in simpler things, like reading. A couple of days ago, I snagged what looks to be a wonderful new printing of The Prophet by #BlackDog. I own a 1928 edition, which I’ve read many times. #YinzCoffee #Gibran

#Adana #kebab and #sutlac. Pinch me. #TurkishCuisine #PashaCafe #Shadyside #Pittsburgh

My fave photos from our time in #France.

This #comic isn’t funny. But it is true. Sad, as well. On Saturday, I spent ~$23 to fill a 5-gallon #gas tank so I could mow our lawn. I need a sticker with a finger pointing perpetual loser saying, “I did that!” #HillaryPrice #RhymesWithOrange [Speaking of #Orange]

I like my second #fortune… #noregrets #livelife

Cobbled stones that lead to narrow corridors, detailed doors, and worn staircases blow me away. #France

Something about this time of day makes every photo look good. #Vienne #France #dusk #Rhone #bridge

The 30 minutes I read before bed are the best two hours of the night.

Our Little Man is the Tunnel King even when taking a #catnap. #cats

For many years I thought my #inukshuk was being decapitated by a #chipmunk. Hmm… #dove

For a couple of years, we’ve fondly admired a beautiful doe we affectionately call Big Mama. She is the largest doe we’ve seen in 10 years and you can tell she and other does know it. For two years, she visits with her two fawns. We’ve watched them grow from just weeks old to teenagers. #deer
