Coaxing heavy metal into the sky, then wrasslin’ and wranglin’ it back to the ground again. Cardigan aficionado. Queer with a homosexual sensibility. Seattle living and world gallivanting. I pretend to write. 🌈 www.captainbobbie.com

Perhaps the best scene in modern television 💅🏼

Dating: the bar is in hell, and I’ve bellied up to get a drink. My ex texted me last week to gloat about his new partner. A guy I was mildly interested in kindly, gently rejected me. And halfway though a date tonight, someone told me he was in a relationship. Cheers!

Anyway, I needed to use up some 🍆 so I braised it in some broth, wine, and added couscous.

The M’s got their butts whooped today, but it was still fun to watch the game (on the jumbotron) from seats that are likely over $1k now— and of course I spotted my beloved Scandinavian making her arrival into SeaTac!

Introducing Greta, the grape Moccamaster. An eBay find, she leaked a little at first. I tinkered as best I could, and it seems I fixed it (unsure how, but I digress). Let’s hope she lasts!

Lovely day for a quick lap around the lake! It might be one of the last nice days for awhile, but I hope to get out a few more times— there’s so much to see, and I’m always so nosy about this big ship.

I have so much love to give, and I’ve given much of it away to the wrong people. I don’t regret that. But the chances of me giving my love to someone so deserving, who reciprocates it, feel so slim.

Charcuterie. Sharcooter. Shark coochie. Please don’t ask me how my brain works 😅

I don’t know if my family curse is such that my husband would die, but perhaps it’s that I might not even find one. Meanwhile, I’m thriving in my typical home-time shenanigans and fall traditions: shark coochie and Practical Magic.

Please do not text your ex to brag about how good your life is and that you have a new partner. Just don’t do it.

That's why I can (sort of) sleep at night. I know that he and his ilk are deeply unpopular, even if they're loud.

Mx. Robbie Bobbie Berta Boeing @captainbobbie.bsky.social · 10d

Of COURSE you do, badass. That gives me some semblance of hope!

I hope that's the case. How do we know, though?

I love a cute business class pod home. Back in my rainy lil burg, where it’s finally grey! HA872 ICN-SEA

In good faith, and quite seriously: what are the chances of someone migrating to the US right now "legally" and what avenues can they take?

All next week, highs in the 60s and lows in the 50s with rain in Seattle. You bet your sweet bippy that I am having coffee on my lanai and making soupS!

I don't even like Kimmel, but I canceled Hulu— and my credit card even has a perk to pay for it. I won't be resubscribing, and instead, I donated to Cascade PBS. I'd rather nerd out with Samantha Brown and Rick Steves!

I tried diligently to change my seat on an Air China flight via their website, which gave me PhD level authentications (“fTs” was prescient). I ended up going through our AmexGBT app, and the poor agent had to put up with my shenanigans.

Perhaps in my memoir I’ll divulge, but in the meantime, I’ll share this: a surprising responsibility (?) I have as captain is managing the emotions of 50 year old men.

I mean, yes. We’re thrown to the wolves out there, regardless. I’m just a whiny pilot.

This isn’t new, but it is demoralizing to get the flight plan and see an extra hour more than usual. Just let me get to my noodles in peace, please!
