I know first hand how parenting your parent can be a journey that none of us is quite prepared for. It's a fragrant stew of joy, grief, loss and confusion mixed with occasional bizarre & even amusing moments. If you're on that journey... good luck & take care. 🙏 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/o...

I do a few word puzzles, Sedecordle is my fav. Anyone else look up words that come up your don't know, or aren't certain it means what you think it does? "Thrum primarily refers to making a continuous, low, resonant sound, often described as a hum or drone" Now I know for certain

Got a confirmation for a Doctors appointment. Interesting way to open the communications "Congratulations, your appointment with [***] has been confirmed for [***]. For more details about your upcoming appointment"etc. Sure, it feels a bit like winning a lottery, I guess they realize that too

Sure hope i can wear this t-shirt tomorrow

#MissAtlas is sure enjoying the bright sunny and a balmy -23c day after a windy cold snap! Just watching the day go by. #WinterDog

When I'm shooting a storm timelapse, I never quite know how it'll turn out until I finish processing it, sometimes days later. I was gobsmacked as I watched this segment from Huxley, Alberta taking shape on my laptop.
