When she was new, I told my pup that she was puppish. Then I started adding that she was puptastic, and later that she was puppelicious. Just lately I’ve realized that she should be described as pupstanding in her field. 🐕

Not too long after we moved here, I saw an enormous snapping turtle, the size of a dinner plate. This is probably that same turtle, now the size of a serving platter.

Not a great picture, because Ashley was Very Interested in the turtle, and letting them play would have ended badly.

The first periodic cicada of the year. Or, you know, the decade-plus.

I dragged Jackie out to see it. Because—you know—who knows how long it might be before she has another chance to see one?

(Yes, that’s a joke.)

Putting my fencing mask on always pushes my glasses askew, and often mashes them up worse than that. So, a couple of weeks ago I ordered a pair of prescription goggles, and today they arrived!

They look okay:

And my mask just went on over my goggles no problem!

Ashley’s place on the sofa is no longer in the sun. #dogsofmastodon 🐕 Although it may look like Ashley spends all her time lounging on the sofa, in fact she has had three walks since the previous photo.

Ashley’s place on the sofa is also her place in the sun. #dogsofmastodon 🐕

A Manhattan for Jackie. “I’m only in it for the cherries,” says she.

Today was a rest day, but yesterday I did three rounds on my rings:

  • Jump rope
  • Dips (best set x 2 + 5 negatives)
  • Walking lunges
  • Inverted rows
  • 3-way core (30″ each hollowbody, inverted plank, shoulder taps)

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.
