Mezzo is fully prepared to forgive everything if only we go home.

Sadly, I'm about to haul him into the rodentist office. #petRats #rats

We have arrived in Indianapolis for Mezzo's 9AM appointment with the rodentist.

The accommodations do not meet with his approval.

The thumb-beast does not meet with his approval.

NONE OF THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. #petRats #rats

"let me snuggle your finger" -- a story in three photos. #petRats #rats

(image descriptions: cute pet rat gradually sneaks his chin out of his hammock onto my finger and rests there.)

Rats are highly resilient.

Took my sweet boy Mezzo to the rodentist last spring to get a bad tooth removed. The damn tooth... grew back.

Anyway, proceeds from any books you buy will go towards paying my rat's medical bills. mwl.io/shop

"MacOS is so easy! Everything JUST WORKS!"

My Mac morning login screen:
three monitors, two in portrait mode and one in landscape. The login screen is sideways on a portrait monitor. Yes, the landscape monitor is set as primary.

Cold rainy day?

Sprawl and chill. #petRats #rats

Step back, relax, and contemplate what's good in life.

Making a plan for the day is great but execution is *everything*.

Cashel is executing flawlessly.

A few days ago, someone pointed out that there's a reddit thread about me & my books.

Ever since, I've been fighting the urge to log in there just to post this fan art. #writing

This just in: Mezzo is an absolute squeakheart.

Meanwhile, up in the hammock, Willoughby will not sit still for a photograph.

Cashel is fully prepared for Monday.

Specifically, he's prepared for the thumb-beast to get out of his face and go earn money for the treat budget. #petRats #rats
