The kids had a hoot as all I had was a 85 - 150mm zoom with me when we saw these magnificent animals on our drive, so I did a very slow crawl for about 30 minutes to get a good shot

After struggling with a task due to everyone being fatigued, one of our staff supported the other with the saying: There is no "I" in Team

I reminded them there is an "I" in Diet Coke and there is some here if they need one

While I got a groan for the Dad Joke, someone came and took a Diet Coke

Today I commented my dad jokes we really landing

One of my MAs remarked "You mean Granddad jokes?"

That seemed intentional to me ... but I landed the next one:

I'm not sure why today but I posted my usual daily photography post early in the morning, very calming

Since then, I have been a spicy old man with a handful roman candle in each hand

I haven’t read this since college, but revisiting it seemed appropriate in these times

I have two hours of commuting daily, so an audio book works for me

I love libraries so I also get my audio books from my local library

My least favorite patient today:

I like the guy generally but as we left the room he asked how I was doing, so I told him "Great!"

He followed up with "Yeah, us older folk need to stick together"
Dude is 77 YO ... I'm not, but now I feel as if I might be

Inspired by the posts of @bar44.bsky.social, I've realized I had slacked off (imagine that) on posting my photography.

Date night tonight

Great view of the Puget Sound

Unfortunately, due to the weather, no view of the Cascades

In the mid 80's was in a bar in Santa Monica.
Some ice cubes landed on our table from the other side of the bar
Ice went back & forth
One of us stood up, but sat right down telling us to stop

Turns out we had got into an ice fight with Lyle Alzado & Howie Long

They were actually nice guys about it
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Small odd encounters over the years

Sat with Freddy Fender, David Hidalgo and the rest of Los Super 7 flying out of San Antonio. Last minute only flight they could get thing, so we were switching around so they could sit together until we all got yelled at to sit down.

They were a hoot.

We have, as an eye doctor's office, used Calibri for years for our patient who have visual impairments.

If you are considering the font you use to save money, you are looking in the wrong places.
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move
Rubio Stages Font Coup: Times New Roman Ousts Calibri
The secretary of state called it a "wasteful" diversity move, according to an internal department cable seen by Reuters.

I just saw a patient whom I have been seeing for 30 years.
He had been going through early Alzheimer's issues, but it is no longer "early."

I'm fairly certain he did not know who I was and had difficulty moving with a walker to navigate the door to the room. It was obviously painful for his wife
December 9, 2025 at 11:32 PM
He's back

He's getting looks from our younger patients in the waiting room.

I had a patient come in dressed as Santa. Not unusual, right? Except he is a long time patient & he has worn the same outfit in June - so I asked him about it.

He replied "I like being Santa - everyone likes Santa. If I dressed up as Batman or Superman, that would be weird."

He's not wrong
