It doesn’t feel like 2026. It feels like that every year, I know, but this year especially for me. The holidays have been…discombobulated. For sure. And I treated last night and today as much like normal days as I could. I’m trying to maintain as much of my normal...

It’s new year’s eve. Happy New Year’s Eve! We made it. Barely. 2025…ups and downs. I know a lot of people who are very much “fuck this year.” It wasn’t quite that bad for me. I had some wins this year. For sure. The losses were intense, too. No question of that. It...

Four fours! A milestone…and the last of that particular kind, I think. Pretty sure I won’t live long enough for five fives? Let’s see how many years that would be… 140 years from now. lol. Good lord, I wouldn’t actually even hope for living to 180 years old. So…yes....

We bought a Christmas train. It was 50% off at the Descanso Gardens gift shop. Didn’t hesitate. We went with Joe and Madhuri, and the Kings. Even Cat came along, which was awesome. She was delighted. Everyone was very happy. Very very happy. It was a good time. Pups...

Joy and Coops just got their advent calendar treats. Lucky pups. Also unlucky, given that we were supposed to give them the treats every day leading up to Christmas and we definitely didn’t, which is why they still have them, lol. But we’re making up for it now. Those...

Rest in peace Sherilyn. She was five, the daughter of one of our very good friends, and we went to her funeral today. It was a stunningly beautiful Buddhist service. Liz made a wonderful speech. It was good to see many people there I hadn’t seen in quite some time. We...

Woooowwww…so close to the next really cool milestone on this blog: Four fours. Day 4,444. It’s a genuine really cool marker now that I’ve piled up so many years of doing these daily entries, because it comes, now, only every 1,111 days, which almost three years. Same,...

A successful Christmas! We were both up early, Liz even earlier than me, braved the wet, and spent it over, mostly, at the Kings’. The kids all got great stuff—Mir a really nice jewelry box and some great dresses; Tilde an electric guitar with amp and a dive coat;...

I only ate two meals today, that’s how massive lunch was. We went to what is apparently an LA cornerstone, particularly for Christmas: Tam O’Shanter’s. It was delicious. And huge. Breakfast wasn’t even a big one, either, but I was done for the day after that, lol. We...

It’s late. We started Plur1bus. It’s fun! First episode was nails. We’ll see how it goes from there. But ya, Vince is a master, so I have hopes. Work. Writing. A little rain but not much. Storm hits whilst I’ll be sleeping tonight. Speaking of… Night...
