I cut a different pattern of slices into yesterday’s loaf before its second rising, and I thought the result was particularly lovely.

My activity score of 100 due purely to walking the dog. Well, and sleeping better since getting a dog.

I am very impressed with myself: I walked far enough to get Ashley tired enough that she wanted to nap, without making myself too tired to make bread dough. #dogsofmastodon 🐕

Ashley does not understand that most dog owners are disinclined to bring their dog to the dog park in the rain, and is very disappointed to find no other dog to play with. 🐕 #dogsofmastodon

Just saw a toot wanting a feature to add subtitles to videos, but read it as wanting a feature to add subtlety to videos, which seems like an even better idea.

As every Valentine’s Day since 2016, I recapitulated the very first meal I ever cooked for Jackie. I made minor changes, including baking a flourless chocolate cake and serving it with whipped cream.

Among Ashley’s areas of special competence is finding her place in the sun.

That and chewing on sticks.

Somebody should develop a breed of really big cherries, and then name them “tomato cherries.”

I write science fiction and fantasy stories.

I speak Esperanto, and use it to communicate internationally. Esperantistoj, legu mian esperantan hejmpaĝon.

For a while I taught Taiji. My current hobby is HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts, aka sword fighting).

For eleven years I was a senior writer at Wise Bread, writing about personal finance and frugality.

Before that I spent a quarter-century as a software engineer.
