Tyler and his Music Table

Tyler is working hard at learning to walk. Pushing his music table is a favorite of his.

Add video.

This video was made entirely on my iPhone. 😀

I’m also trying a new way of embedding video that doesn’t rely on a video service. Hopefully this works well.

"Dad, I am glad to see you"

I was out of town most of this week. When I got back Mazie made this great picture of her and I.

Child's crayon drawing of two stick figures holding hands, labeled Masie in yellow top and purple skirt, and Dad in blue outfit

Gorgeous view from Mt. Tamalpais. What a great tiny get away from San Francisco.

I grabbed this 8-frame panorama with Pano on my iPhone.

I just posted a 7 character URL that Twitter “shortened” to 12 characters and obfuscated in the process. 🤷‍♂️

Abrasive Ale is so good. Megahops!

Making EGGfest Chili from Big Green Egg cookbook. Smells awesome! On the Big Green Egg for a couple hours of smoking.

Blue Dutch oven filled with tomato-based chili with beans and meat, sitting inside an open Big Green Egg ceramic grill surrounded by snow.

Using binoculars to check Big Green Egg temperature. Cold out there! 🥶

Off the grill. Initial taste is great! Smoked chili!

Large blue Dutch oven filled with bubbling red tomato-based chili on a gas stovetop, sides splattered from cooking.

Empty Airplane Seats

I didn’t think this type of thing ever happened any more. On a ridiculously full flight and have two open seats next to me?

Sunday morning, tuned into Ely, MN for Pathways with Ray Nargis.

Mazie and I had a ton of fun this afternoon stacking up blocks as fast as we could and then having Tyler knock them down.
