Average weight for my height. My wife and I own @meeplemadness.com and live with two very photogenic cats.
This is who runs this account.

When I was a kid, we called this "paranoia."

Getting ready to listen to Marc Scibilia. He doesn’t seem to be on Bluesky yet so here’s a link www.marcscibilia.com

I'm back in her good graces after a few scritches.

Gracefully resting cat was not interested in me photographing her, so instead we have a photo of her yelling at me.

I think Putin just drunk dialed me.

At the @ilvolo.bsky.social concert at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center. Mom is positively giddy with anticipation.

First in line to donate blood at @meeplemadness.com today, and the van is already getting full with two more in the chairs and three waiting in line.

At GAMA Expo with the lovely Priya. Got to play the second edition of Parks today - the new artwork is beautiful.

And, no, I don't know why I put my hand on my own ass in this photo.

I don't drink coffee, but we recently switched to a @nespressousa.bsky.social. To use our existing stash of coffee, I've been repacking pods.

Fine grinding the off-the-shelf coffee and then gentle tamping in 15 gram of powder gives you a 17 gram pod that works quite well.

What started out as a white noise machine for privacy whilst on conference calls has turned into daily "alone time" for one of the cats.

A little de-icing before heading eastward.

Flying to San Jose, CA to say a goodbye to our dear friend Arlet.

Taken too soon. ALS (www.als.org) is a terrible disease.

Shaky Cam in expectation of the delicious hot chocolate. The one on the left has smoked sea salt on top. The one on the right is embellished with a toasted marshmallow.

She's a Siberian forest cat but still gets confused when there's white stuff on the ground here in Georgia, US.

No, no they aren't. But if there's a world where Galaxy Quest is set in the Star Trek universe, I'm interested. #FabricatedByAI

Technically this is our dining room table but, for now, it's a Sunning Pad. #cats

Are these earth tones? Am I having an earth tone breakfast? They sounds healthier than a sourdough chocolate muffin and avocado shake.

Around 15 years ago, @mariancall.bsky.social started following me on Twitter after I posted something about penguins. Several years later, I attended her concert in Atlanta and then, back in 2017, my wife and I hosted her and Scott Barkan at our shoppe, @meeplemadness.com.

The internet is fun.

Spent the evening at #colorfactoryco in NYC. The confetti room and giant ball pit were my personal favorites; the whole experience was a lot of fun.

In case you need a decadent hot chocolate recipe, here's mine. Drink responsibly.
