Well that’s no fun

The view from my hotel room:   

  …but wait!  If I turn to the left, I get this! 

Wait. Shit. That’s not better. 

My new best friend

…is this adorable little dude right here.  He’s going to sit on my desk and make me happy every time I look at him forever.

Seven years

…well, technically we got married on Leap Day, so our actual anniversary occupies some sort of odd null-space between today and tomorrow.

But still.  Marriage is cool.  I’d do it again.

Happy Anniversary, babe.

In which astronomy is the coolest science

This is the dwarf planet Ceres.  It’s the largest object in the asteroid belt.  We’ve got a probe headed toward it right now, that ought to be in orbit around it on March 6th.   This picture was taken on February 19th.

What in the hell are those?

In which I employ people

IMG_2367I think one of my favorite things about being a “small business owner” is the junk mail.  This was attached to a rather thick catalog full of office supplies that I have to imagine cost at least a few bucks to print and mail.  Sorry, dude; it’s just me, and there’s a Target like right over there.

 

Snow pictures, 2015 edition

Not much accumulation yet, but it’s sticking to EVERYTHING. Will probably have to hit the driveway before lunch just because of the weight of the snow. No word on school tomorrow, obviously.

It’s impossible to photograph well, but…

… I feel like my new Prostetnic Publications mug has improved my lifestyle.

THE FARTENING, part II: I actually make some Soylent.

It smelled like cocoa until I mixed it with water. Then it… didn’t… anymore. By the time you read this I will have tasted it; they are VERY CLEAR that it is to be drunk cold.
