Say Hi, Cacti!
I love how it looks like they’re waving hello to you. Except that last one, who appears to be making the moves on the girl in yellow. Shot on Pixel 6 Pro.

We’re All Mad Here
“I am not crazy; my reality is just different from yours.” Lewis Carroll, “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” – the Cheshire Cat Excellent welcoming committee here in Arizona, thanks to this crazy cat. We could all learn a few things from her, I think. Shot on Pixel 6 Pro.
The Bridge
I recently paid another visit to the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA), for their special “Van Gogh in America” exhibition. My more constant readers will not be surprised to hear that I kinda sorta really liked it. What surprised me, however, was that despite being surrounded by 74 incredible works of his — all broughtContinue reading “The Bridge”
The View From My Wandering
This is not the Detroit of 20 years ago. And I’m not exactly who I was back then either. Wandering around the city is a great reminder that while nothing gold can stay, which is a pretty way of saying that change sucks, there’s still beauty, and weird, and why the frak would anyone putContinue reading “The View From My Wandering”

I’d so much rather getContinue reading “Chai Breaks”
200 Miles of Yay

Complete with amazing conversation with the impeccable company of my favorite person (love you, Danger); a jaunt to my favorite local townContinue reading “200 Miles of Yay”
Juiced Up Cafe
Presenting a new cafe venue with more sound equipment and progressive personality than you can throw a chai tea latte at: Berkley Coffee. Stopped in this weekend to support genius keys player Jarrod Champion and am certain I’ve never seen anything like this coffee-roasting / non-alcoholic bar / event space. My inner theatre sprites areContinue reading “Juiced Up Cafe”
Birth Astride a Grave
There’s nothing quite like a birthday to inspire thoughts of one’s eventual deathday. It’s possible this is unique to me, yet I’ve noted a pattern over the years. When I think about my coming into the world, my mind smoothly segues to contemplating a future day when I will come out of it. Admittedly theContinue reading “Birth Astride a Grave”
