No holiday cards this year thanks to unemployment, so please accept a digital one. Warmest wishes to you and yours and may the new year bring good things.

A scruffy, white-ish terrier lays on a rug, paws outstretched in front, looking at the camera. His pointy ears are upright and big black nose is shiny. A blurred lit Christmas tree is in the background.

That looks about right. One’s great for working out & driving, the other’s great for work focus.

DC is great because of its community. HUGE shout out to @adicksondc.bsky.social for the holiday assist in braving the wilds of “North Bethesda” and making my stocking installation complete.
Three red stockings hang on a dark brown table with white lights on it. The stockings have the names Brody, Kate, and Millie on them in green calico. They are suspended by L.L. Bean™️ stocking hangers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just got to enjoy live jazz inspired by Vince Guaraldi’s Charlie Brown Christmas at The Hamilton Live and it was absolutely delightful. Even better with good friends. This might need to become a tradition.
A seated crowd in the foreground. A jazz trio on stage: piano on left with the player wearing a red blazer, the bass player center, and the drummer on the set at right. The lighting is green and red with “Eric Byrd trio” projected on the rear of the stage.

Stepped outside to walk the dog and was greeted by the Spirit of America. Happy Thanksgiving y’all.

Embroidering your handkerchief makes for short & sweet hand projects. Great for dabbing the sweat from your brow in the summer (and hot flashes).
Two white cotton handkerchiefs sitting on a blue, floral ironing board. One had purple flowers, the other has pink.

In addition to the house cleaning that needs to be happening in the legislature, we need the 25th invoked.

Ever cook or bake something that tastes just the way you remember it and it’s more than satisfying? I made my Nana’s ham bone bean soup this weekend (shout out to @yuda.org for the bean hookup) and it is perfect.

Today is my gremlin’s 7th birthday (obsv.) and I’m currently being serenaded by a squeaky chuck-it ball, one of his chief delights in life. This adorable asshole saved my life and brings so much joy. Good things *can* come from Ohio!
