I feel like it being so cold AND me being on vacation that I have an excuse to avoid most things … except shovelling the driveway.

8r4d The #maze seems to be complete and apparently it opens in exactly one week. There is a sign at street level about where to buy tix. But … seen it.

8r4d Last week the fine folks who created the #game Exploding Kittens released a new card game, Mantis, and gave it away for free (plus shipping) for about 4 hours. I got in on it and my deck arrived this afternoon! Huzzah!

Disney World | 3¼ years ago

I didn’t take much video last year but I DID take some shaky running videos on my #halfmarathon thru Disney World in January. I finally got around to doing a bit of compiling and stabilizing…

Walking from my parking to my office this morning the sun was just coming up over downtown so I thought I’d share that moment in a video montage.

Writing Desk | 3¼ years ago

Microfiction or microstories are bits of #writing exercises that are meant to stretch the creative muscles. I'm having a creative December, so I'm gonna be posting lots of art and words and other related stuff. With my microstories I like the idea of committing to a work for 30 minutes and fleshing out a story in 200-300 words and then moving on. And forcing myself to do it from a random prompt makes it so that I don't write 30 stories about time travelling robots. Today's is kind of an allegory for a kid stumbling onto social media. See a theme here?

For my #creativeadvent challenge I've got a list of daily creative chores to do for the first twenty four days of December. While you're scarfing little chocolates from your advent calendars, I'll be #writing #painting and #posting. This is your feed for that. Like for today, I did the first of my December #microfiction posts linked below:

As the year wraps up I’ve dabbled in what I’m (right now) calling the addict’s last puff on the drug known as corporate social media. And as we creep into 2023 when I need to think less about the moral and ethical impact of my high technology use, I can spend more time thinking about and writing about my low tech fun, fire, food and cast iron cooking, right? I've written a short little post about that here:

My Kitchen | 3¼ years ago

It’s been a couple weeks since we got back from our trip to Manhattan. While my daughter loved Broadway, I really got into the food, in particular hunting down a couple good bagel bakeries and sampling their authentic wares. Of course, this left me yearning for some New York back home, and wondering if I could replicate them in my own kitchen. Check out the recipe:

I've been cautiously dipping my toe into the (decidedly non-corporate) fediverse of social media by spinning up an account on Mastodon. It has been an interesting week watching the platform soak up Twitters migrants this past week, including yours truly. Come follow me:
