Just wanted to recommend this film. See it in a theater, if you can, because the cinematography is outstanding. Same Director as Sing Sing and just as gorgeous a film.

O! The Thanksgiving baking has commenced. This chocolate/coffee bundt cake is described as “Betty Crocker’s seductive cousin,” which is not wrong.

Photos taken on a family trip to Annapolis where the Naval Academy is. Had been there for the burial of my uncle, a Rear Admiral who served honorably. This is what midshipmen see as they head to classes. Crazy to me that POTUS is calling for the death of Democrats for reciting this messsge.

Spied in Chicago’s West Ridge neighborhood today. At least 5-6 small billy goats just roaming the sidewalk, with no human nearby. Charming, delightful, and utterly mysterious. Any locals know who these cuties belong to?

The light is really beautiful in Chicago today. Perfect autumn day, mix of crisp and warm, with this exquisite light playing through the clouds.
