foster dog toy murder scene....or was it our dog? Call Pawlumbo.

Last few days of #summer #riverwalk #Chicago

Clean your glasses, or garnish your fish n chips.

Every night a joy. Chicago Jazz Festival Ari Brown (the captions for the NC said he a world renowned "tennis saxophone".)

Company at coffee.

The apple tree was stick-like, a housewarming gift at our now-rented Oakland home. We moved to Chicago to care for elders. Life goes on...

True confession: We tell the house sitters to help themselves to anything they like. Then I hide the #expensive #wine.

You're never beyond Metal. #TheWarning

Chicago sometimes does a San Francisco impersonation

#42Ballons is what you need for a joyful escape. "What makes a man want to fly in a Lawn chair?" Thanks @chicagoshakes.bsky.social

Opening night " #42Balloons" @chicagoshakes.bsky.social they ALWAYS do something special....in the lobby, and on stage.

Waiting for curtain. For sure the title is perfect.

My radio spouse, #wgnradio s John Landecker, gave me a real smile tonight. He interviewed a high school fishing coach and asked him if it's really true that he makes the kids take a "fish quiz". Yes.

@bsky.app why I'm glad not to be a professional theater critic: because sometimes you just want to say "wow". "Bust (An Afrocurrentist Play)" that's just opened at #TheGoodmanTheatre by #ZoraHoward directed by #LileanaBlainCruz does everything right. Good on #SusanVBooth for bringing it to Chicago

2nd Seder, and spouse requests only ONE matzah ball. Like the Jewish mother I am, my reply, "Last night you ate 2. What's wrong with them?" www.instagram.com/reel/DIe5gxl...

We used to sing this (over and over and over) to our firstborn, to calm him dow Did/do you have a musical weapon of choice?

Can you take away someone's "green card"? What pushes women to buy firearms? And ...is there such a thing as a psychedelic circus? Answers 1-5p Chicago time on @wcpt820am.bsky.social on air and online

Remembering a hero...

The art of @MountainView cemetery, Oakland CA. Soothing...

A peek into DC's "Stanford in Washington" gallery. Go-Go is from here. Now I have to study up.

This exquisite home of Brewton, Alabama (and several neighboring homes) might make you want to relocate. SO tempting for an old house lover.

What we did on our winter vacation:

Had to go all the way to Pensacola to see one of these. For hunting? Golf in bad weather?

Tonight, as I pulled into the alley behind the South Loop Trader Joe's, my view was suddenly and completely obscured by smoke from a genuine dumpster fire. While dialing 911 I thought to myself, "Well ..I guess it's not always allegorical."

@thefieldmuseum "Project a Black Planet" installation. A revelation

Foster dog Frankie, on your left, with his new sister. The adopters tried again.Lesson: you may not recognize your soul mate right away.

Foster dog Frankie-victorious over the wool duster. Today was both lovely and anxiety-producing: Frankie met 2 potential adopters and their dog, who's not ready to accept him. Some would give up, but these gentlemen will try again tomorrow. My heart is hopeful. Frankie deserves a marvelous home.

A cream made of crushed black snails...[their] home is where your face is.

When every single person you know decides you should use an electronic calendar...remain steadfast. (Bonus: it's from the funeral home.)

Foster dog vs Swiffer

File under "now have I seen everything?": skin toner made out of ..gulp ..black snails?

We know an aspiring comic, so spent 3 hours at an open mic. Baffled. So many men (and 1 woman) feel there are new, entertaining, observations to be made about body parts.

This new social media spot is where I plan to say pleasant things. So you will not hear about the 3.5 hours I just spent in the audience at a local comedy open mic. You're welcome.

Arriving ...breathing a bit of fresh social air.
