31 years ago, someone gifted me a #Hallmarkn #sxifi #Xmas ornament. Today I have an entire sci fi tree! It is glorious. These ornaments are the only thing I’ve ever collected. I have ships, cruisers, figures, challenge coins…it is my joy every December. They bring me joy. #Starwars #Startrek

From a family meal to a service project, this week was a needed break. Now putting the tree up - it’s glorious! I’ve been collecting sci-fi ornaments for 31 years, a project that lights me up. Best theme tree ever. Photos starting on Monday. Find your joy y’all. #holidays #weekend #family #scifi

Happy Harvest! Grateful for this 🦋 #community keeping me sane w/independent journalists, dad #jokes & #animal pics. #Grateful for our local pantry & for all of us working together to keep it stocked. Grateful the kids & grand dog are visiting, for the food I’ve prepared & Alice’s Restaurant! 🥧

This is shaping up to be a strange holiday. Over half of my guests for the big meal are sick. Urgent care kind of sick with the #flu & bronchitis. And I was worried about #Covid. So many leftovers… #Thanksgiving #food #fluseason

I don’t know who needs to see this but Rosebud on Taylor is still open & awesome! We took a needed break after work last night - @fantasyyeti.bsky.social and I sat outside, people watched and enjoyed a wonderful meal. It reminded of warm evenings as an undergrad at #UIC. #Chicago #restaurants

Back to Chicagoland after working in #Miami, Florida, for a week. Seems I brought the humidity back w/me. It’s can be 100 degrees and I’m still taking walks, birding & drinking #coffee. The bonus in Miami is spotting lizards everywhere! #travel #work #worktravel 🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎💚

This evening at Berger Park, #Chicago lake front. Falafel, a long walk along the lake front, a band playing at a cafe, thrifting on Broadway. #summer #summervibe #chicagosky
Wait. I thought Chicago was a hell…
