Hugo vs. the Tunnel
Hanging out with the bunnies tonight, I caught Hugo getting a little aggressive with the tunnel. I’m not sure if he was just bored (probably), but he really went at this thing… more than I’ve seen him in a while.

Belated Birthday Dinner at Balmoral
Interesting tidbit 1: I think a while ago, Liz got to meet Joe for the first time at this very restaurant. And it’s also where she got to taste different scotch whiskies that were outside of the peaty/smoky realm. And I daresay that’s when she got the spark to start exploring scotch whisky a lot more, and started going down her sherry bomb phase.
Recognizing Jenette Goldstein
I’ve been getting late 80’s/90’s content in my Facebook feed lately, and was reminded of the movie Aliens (the sequel). I was also reminded of one of the great characters in that cast – Private Vasquez, played by Jenette Goldstein.
The Old Rag Quandary
When I was researching various trails in Shenandoah, the one that came up most frequently was Old Rag.
It’s definitely got a reputation as being an incredible trail (Outside magazine lists it as one of the best 25 hikes in the world.) Not just in the US, in the world.
Felix Jung, 20×2: What Did You See?
Had a fun night at 20×2 Chicago, with a new venue: Gman Tavern. The question was: “What Did You See?”
For those not familiar with the format, 20 presenters are invited to participate. Folks can answer the prompt however they like: show some slides, sing a song, do an interpretive dance. The only hard rule is that they must answer the question, in two minutes or less. It makes for a very interesting evening.
Creators, Creating
aoyamasquare is a lovely YouTube channel, featuring a lot of short-length videos of artists, creating in their respective mediums. Lose a little time here, with a video. And then do it all over again. And again.
Daisy, Sleeping
The flop at the end of the video is icing on the cake. We’ve rarely seen Daisy over on her side like this, so it’s a testament to how comfortable she must have gotten. I will say – it makes me a little nervous, seeing how much she’s been sleeping lately.
Brent Hull: Victorian Interior Millwork
Lately, I’ve been looking up trim videos online. And one of the topics was trying to better understand how our old trim was used in the house (our home is from 1885). I came across this really informative video from Brent Hull, and found it incredibly fascinating. Before I knew it, I had watched the whole thing.
Franklin Room: Scotch Malt Whisky Society, March 2023 Outturn
On arriving, we were greeted with a complimentary “welcome” dram. Which was a new thing. We’re here to taste the new bottles being released in March, but this one was just to start the night off I guess.
Tom Scott: On Trying AI
“All I wanted to do was fix my email. I did not expect to have a minor existential crisis about how much the world is about to change.”
The Unknown Master of Restoration
“Look at that. I’m just watching, but it feels like my heart’s going to burst.”
Bunny Traffic Jam
We have this plastic tunnel thing that we bring out, from time to time. It’s older, and not something Hugo has really seen before.
Tonight, Liz threw few pellets inside to encourage Hugo to explore. Because Hugo, for all his size and weight, is still something of a scaredy cat.
A Star Trek Evening in the Suburbs
On the cork – a bit of Klingon! At least, I think it’s Klingon? See, this is what I mean about me not being sure how strong of a Star Trek fan I am.
I will say this though: when we all gathered glasses to make a toast, I knew enough to yell out Qapla’.
A Familiar Animation
There is a sadness and melancholy that emanates from both of these videos. Both of these videos evoke a sense of hurt and a sense of celebration, in equal measure. As does the act of sharing these videos, I think.
Chew Chew Chew
For no good reason, here’s a short video of Daisy and Hugo, chewing on a bit of cardboard.
