I just love this photo my friend Jamie snapped of Leo and me!

My special talents include being OOO on days last-minute company announcements are made.

My friend Todd was over for dinner and snapped this.

Heard an odd sound, to find my cat carrying a loaf of bread I'd had on the counter.

Pink as Velma would work so well. #tonyawards

The "Ragtime" performance was great. And having seen "Titanique" off-Broadway, I love its Broadway transfer. They depicted the show well during their feature.

The regional theatre Tony always makes me happy, grateful for the excellent regional theatres I've had the privilege of working with, especially in my 20s.

And then a scary motorcycle meant I could offer comfort.

This is a thing.

Attended Paranormal Cirque II this evening. Excellent show!

Friday.

My current cat is my only cat to eat wet food regularly. Just today I realized that means I should cut back his dry food. How absurd am I!?

Apparently my vitamin D is high and I am to stop supppements. How non-Rochesterian!

Here's a pride playlist I made several years ago to which I made just a few additions since. open.spotify.com/playlist/3FY...

Wrote a song today. It felt nice to do something creative. I've been lacking there of late.

Coworker answered a question with “bet” I yelled out “YOU ARE 43 just answer yes”

We're living in interesting times. (That's not a great thing.)

I don't understand how people don't realize their butt is coming out of their pants.

Not only do I have a handwriting style I use when I write notes on my cat's behalf, but I have a style of texting, too. I am still in charge here and don't have much in common with Patty Hearst beyond an appreciation of John Waters.

Enjoyed the tasting menu at Shell with my friend Todd. Soon holds the "Hacks" finale with my cat Leo. I'm enjoying this evening.

BREAKING: A bipartisan majority of South Carolina lawmakers stopped a bill that would have redrawn Congressional maps, thrown out thousands of already-cast ballots, and disproportionately silenced Black voters.

Grateful for a pleasant holiday weekend. The week may resume if it must.

My Memorial Day involves making Sunday sauce and entertaining my curious cat.

On my porch reading The New Yorker, drinking a passable na g&t, and listening to a very old Pandora Playlist I made that features the likes of Pinback and The Beta Band.

The innovation in the na cocktail space is lovely. I wish these were stocked well more widely, but all in good time, I suppose.

He hears birds.

Apparently, sing-yelling "YAY!" for 15 seconds when I see my cat is an alarming greeting.

How to clean your paw.

Walking home from the grocery.

"SNL UK" is so good.

This tote bag shows my age.

Earlier.

Something has gone seriously wrong with Eurovision when so many people around Europe, and other countries around the world, hold their breath during the reading out of the audience votes, hoping that one specific country does not win #Eurovision

The first interval tributing the contest's birthday was second to "Love Love Peace Peace" for me. #eurovision2026

The president of the United States of America is a worldwide embarrassment.

I'm such a strange fit in the gay male ecosystem. It no longer affects me beyond perplexing me.

As an ardent Eurovision fan, I'm grateful @eurovangelists.com have been discussing this year's complicated contest, since my feelings about it could fill a therapy session.

Becoming a bit numb to the chaos around us is concerning.

Leo!

Leo turned the portable air conditioner in my guest room on when I stirred at 3 a.m. to show me how smart he is.

My sunroom not only has lilac-colored glass, but lilacs directly outside of it (for a very limited period of time each year in terms of bloom).

This morning's yoga outfit was cute.

Earlier this week I had a houseguest and my made an absurd amount of macedonia (Italian for fruit salad). So, this Mother's Day, there's an absurd amount of it while it's still good plated alongside challah french toast in a nod to my mother's thrift.

Took a long walk, with some great things at my destination.

Since Leo was being cuddly this morning, I skipped yoga. It was the right decision.

Weather.com is among the worst websites, consistently.
