My brother, @stevendbrewer, is contemplating various things, including holding office hours on the island, and the fact that this particular hour is very nearly over.

This hermit crab has been hanging around our three cottages for a couple of days now.

I was explaining to Ashley why she doesn’t get coffee, even though it’s wonderful and she’d probably like it. 🐕 #dogsofmastodon

The crescent moon and the red clouds made a dramatic statement when I took the dog out for her walk last night.

🎶 And then I saw her snout, now I’m a believer. Not a doubt of trace in my mind. Then I saw her snout. Oooooooo! I’m a believer, I couldn’t leave her if I tried… 🎶 #dogsofmastodon

I see so many pretty sunrises these days (out walking the dog), it’s possible to get a bit blase about the ones that aren’t spectacular.

The brats are “Sheboygan” brats, which according to the woman at Olde Time Meats are the same as regular brats except they have more black pepper. The skewers vary slightly: Mine has an extra purple onion; Jackie’s has an extra yellow pepper.

As long as I’ve been using a Pixel phone (I’m on my third), Google has been alerting me to make “canvas” prints. But the alert always led to a blank screen.

A couple of days ago I thought, “You know, I don’t need them to pick which photo to print; I can just print one I like!”

National Weather Service: “Destructive 80 mph winds.”

Jackie, wanting to be clear: “Not the constructive kind.”

At our last dog training class, the teacher mentioned that a dog massage course would be offered in the next session. Sadly, the course will be on giving your dog a massage, and not on training your dog to give you a massage. 🐕💆‍♂️ Very disappointing. #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.
