What could be cuter than Ashley’s little pink tongue?

I write science fiction and fantasy stories.

I speak Esperanto, and use it to communicate internationally. Esperantistoj, legu mian esperantan hejmpaĝon.

For a while I taught Taiji.

For eleven years I was a senior writer at Wise Bread, writing about personal finance and frugality.

Before that I spent a quarter-century as a software engineer.

It’s warm enough that Ashley’s place in the sun is almost entirely in the shade.

Daffodils and squills! The squills were my idea, but Jackie did most of the work in our little flower garden, except that the lilies, which won’t bloom for another couple of months, were left by the previous member.

“… food delivery giant DoorDash announced a deal Thursday with buy-now, pay-later outfit Klarna, offering hungry consumers “the added convenience of Klarna’s seamlessly integrated, flexible payment options while shopping.”

Of course. Who doesn’t think it’s a good idea to spread the cost of your lunch over a few weeks or months?

Outside a Chinese restaurant near the Big Y, a big ol’ flock of (I think) Black Vultures. (Not Turkey Vultures, which are the only kind I can recognize.)

Ashley likes nothing better than tussling with another dog. In this case, with Roxie.

For years I’ve heard about double-yoked eggs, but this is legit the very first time I’ve ever broken an egg and had it turn out to be double-yoked.
