How We Know We’re Adults
Walking to work today, Liz and I had a moment where we realized our adulthood: finding candy in the street, and resisting the urge to pick it up and eat it.

The ABC Fall Lineup Looks Awesome
I can make out most of it, like Peter Rabit and Minecraft. And a few others I can kind of figure out (like Frosint is probably Frozen). But heck if I can figure out those two on the bottom row, far left.
That’s No Leaf
Liz called me back to the yard, telling me she found “a really cool bug.” It took me a little while to spot it, though.
Powering up a Panasonic Palmcorder I Found at an Antique Mall for $5
Finding the right size plug took a little while. But the moment I plugged in the camera, I heard a click from inside it – and I knew it was working.
Found Inside, Found Outside
Also earlier this week, Liz spotted this on or walk to work. I saw the flowers there, but it was Liz who pointed out they were intentionally placed and positioned there.
Hair, Here
Were they uncomfortable? No longer useful? Did something significant happen, to cause their removal and disposal? What caused someone to decide “I need to get rid of this, right here, right now”?
Found Heart
I flipped the heart over, thinking that maybe it was from a dog or cat collar, with either an inscription or some information on the back. I was surprised to find this.
The Hearts We Let Go
Spotted this balloon heart the day after Valentine’s day, stuck in a tree near our house.
Found Gargoyle
I walked into a meeting room on Tuesday, and happened to glance out the window. Never noticed that right at eye level, across the way, was a gargoyle just sitting and hanging out on the side of the building.

Office Demo and a Cache of Lost Items from Behind the Fireplace Mantel
The fireplace in the office had a really loose mantel. After moving it to one side, we discovered a treasure trove of lost/forgotten things that had slipped away from view. Some items were from 20 years ago, some were more than 50 years old.
I Really Need to Change the Passcode on My Phone
Found this while scanning through old photos on my phone. My wife is a troublemaker.
Nothing Found
When I tried to use the camera itself, something was off – as it wasn’t quite working properly. I got it to beep a few times, but mostly it seemed to tell me there was nothing on any of the memory cards.
Removing the Basement Headers
While looking into a space where the pocket doors area, Bob reached in and found this bit of newspaper – lodged pretty far inside.
Double Knives
Over the course of our time in the basement, I kept taking my knife out and putting it back in my pocket. Later that night, as I was upstairs changing out of my work clothes, I pulled not one but TWO pocket knives!
