Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year, and a chance to appreciate the beauty of this artist's interpretation of a black cat. P.S. I hope that's a fish in the water.

Merry Christmas with warm wishes for a happy New Year, one that cuts through the smog and reveals light.

This cartoon taken at face value is funny, but it's also thought provoking. We can be one barbaric planet.

Happy #Caturday #BlueSky

This should be the opening paragraph in a book. Charles Dickens would have loved this ("It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.").

My generation is slowly leaving me. Bon voyage, Diane. I will miss you, your work, and your scarves. #DianeKeaton

Dear Raven. I'm waiting for the "nevermore".

Oh, no. Bless Dolly Parton forever and ever, amen.

The other night, I went to see the Phillies play the Mets. I haven't been to a game since Covid. It was a blast, but before the Phillies took the field, I took this shot. P.S. The Phillies won. I've never been to a game where they've lost. #Phillies #Mets #CitizensPark

With the passing of Robert Redford, I searched out Randy Newman's soundtrack for The Natural; one of my favorite Redford films. As I began to listen to the Americana-infused music, I found myself tearing up. We've lost so much today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxHq...

Robert Redford was only 2 years younger than Wilford Brimley. That's my eulogy. #RIPRoyHobbs

My brother watched it happen while driving to Jersey City on the NJ Turnpike. Cars were pulled over the on the side of the lanes as people got out of their cars to watch. His manager told him to turn around and return home. #NeverForget

I adore this K-drama. It's the sweet story about an autistic, young lawyer who is just learning the ropes of her profession, and first love with the help of her imaginary whales. I've seen it eight times. #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxeX...

When I was a teen, I used to walk by Nakashima's open garage, which faced the tow path in New Hope, PA. It was near the Lock House, which was owned by my uncle, and the mule barge rides. I remember seeing him sand + lacquer large slabs of rough-hewn wood which would become the tops for his tables.

Evening Cappuccino Confession of the Night: As my corner of the world seems a bit more terrifying, and my cat-with-claws seems hell-bent on attacking me the second the lights go out (as Batman is known to do), I look for things that make me smile. Today, I bought a toy car from @playforever.us.

Uranus has got a new moon! This amazing video shows JWST observations taken over the course of 6 hours. You can see the orbits of some of the most inner of the planet’s 29 moons, with the new one circled. 🔭🧪 📸: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, M El Moutamid, M Hedman, J DePasquale

A genuinely good man whose death came too soon, and still haunts me.

Wondering if Darius saw this.

My son Griffin knew that "Car 54, Where Are You?" is one of my all-time favorite comedies & drew this for my birthday. The likenesses of Fred Gwynne & Joe E. Ross are absolute perfection & he even included the theme song! I treasure it as one of my most prized possessions. Thanks Griff 🙏 ❤️, dad

Coffer Thoght of the Day: I'm notourious for tiping fast, and hiding send before I profread.

We're saddened to hear that the musical satirist Tom Lehrer passed away this weekend. His original and witty songs were loved by audiences worldwide, but to chemists he'll always be remembered for this classic: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcS3...

And, each word is a masterpiece.

Afternoon Coffee Vent of the Day: Why can't we get some original script ideas in Hollywood? Remakes and franchises have lost their appeal for me (except for Superman). #AirBud

Time to dance!

Anything can be, child.

Morning Coffee Thought of the Day: After spending a full day at Batman's ER, I discovered that hair ties are super-villains for cats. At least, two other cats had ingested them. Batman only needed an expensive endoscopic procedure to remove them from his stomach. The others needed surgery.

Happy Winter solstice Australia.

Him: Technically the piano is a percussion instrument. Me: Technically the piano is a murder weapon. Just ask Wile E. Coyote.

I'm waiting to see if Silver Surfer is riding those rings.

Mine rips tails off of toy mice.

Kudos to the bird that managed to shit an image of itself onto this bloke's car.

This looks exactly like him. #Batman
