A great #run! 🏃 My feet and knees felt great throughout. And it looks like the weather will finally support getting out twice a week. (This was my “long” run. I also want to do a “fast” run.)

A multi-use path running along a creek/drainage ditch, with the stats of my run: 1h 21min, 5.61 miles.

For Pi Day, Jackie baked me an apple pie. Yum!

You couldn’t see it, even if it weren’t behind the Oura ring “activity” sticker, but there’s a Great Blue Heron near the middle of this photo.

Anyway, “Go me!” for getting an activity score of 100 from my Oura ring.

Just a piece of bark with some lichens on it. A little moss too, I guess. #lichensubscribe #mosstodon

Me: Ashley, we’re out for a walk! We’re not out for a “stand and stare at a squirrel”!

Dramatic sky. Not quite as dramatic as this filter would have you believe, but pretty dramatic.

Ashley has been hearing about the Fightin’ Ball training that Tanuki has been doing, and has been keeping her eye out for the essential equipment. Today, she found it. #dogsofmastodon

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.
