Roasted Chicken Thighs and Veggies
A few months ago, I had a blood test that revealed a hemoglobin A1c (blood glucose/sugar level over 90 days) value of just over 11. That’s a pretty bad number and meant I was diagnosed with diabetes. Bummer. In response to this, I decided it was time (or rather, my doctor decided it was time)…

Groundhogs in Trees
Yesterday I learned that groundhogs, which I do not normally see in trees, will climb a tree quick as lightning when chased by large predator, like Jeannie. This one had precious few seconds to decide where to flee as Jeannie came barreling towards it. It was about 25 feet or so up a tree in…

Daily Jeannie
I haven’t posted in a while and want to get started again. Here is a nice portrait of Jeannie staring contemplatively out the window the other morning as I had coffee and played LOTRO (Lord of The Rings Online, for those not in the know). I’ve tried to take a step back to focus on…

Kim wanted some new photos of the river for the Riverbed Art website, so I grabbed my drone and flew out over the frozen water.

Yes, Sardines for Breakfast
Make sure you brush, floss, and rinse well after this one; nobody wants sardine breath. Earlier this year I posted about my Spicy Oatmeal breakfast, which I’m sure produced a few sidelong glances among people who dared read about it. However, I recently had some blood test results that have prompted my doctors to suggest…

My Favorite Photos of 2025
Specifically, my favorite photos that I took and uploaded to this blog in 2025. I subscribe to the The Atlantic (no surprises there) and I really enjoy their posts that simply feature photos taken that week or year that are impactful in some way. They recently released their “best photos of 2025” featuring the most…

Trip to Bangor and Twenty-One Pilots
Back in September, our youngest son Braden (the grave looking young man in the Levi’s hoodie) turned 14 years old. He and his older brother Marcus have always been huge Twenty-One Pilot’s fans. Our gift to him was tickets to the Twenty-One Pilots Clancy Tour concert in Bangor for both of them and Marcus’ fiancé.…

Five-Minute Photo Shoot
Just ran out the door with the dog and my camera and took photos until my hands got cold and I decided we should go back inside.

Dueling Citizenships
In the march towards national “purity”, at least one Republican is introducing a bill that would force millions of Americans to give up their long-held rights and freedoms in other countries or face alienation and total upheaval in America. First, the author of bill S.3283, Republican Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno, and the fascist-edging ideals he…

The Trees are Frosty, Get the Drone
As the temperature begins to drop (usually 20° Fahrenheit and below) Kim begins to take Jeannie for quick morning snowshoe walks through trails in the back woods. Besides the river bed in the summer and fall months, the snowy trails behind our house are Kim’s favorite place to be. The cold winter air provides relief…
