37 year old dad to two kids and thousands of DragonCon nerds. Find me in the garden rambling about Star Trek and how much I dislike the government.
It's been a week since I did any kind of #art, especially #watercolor. I watched a video on leaves and tried some out. My favorites are the ones with the veins, using the blunt end of the brush. Happy to be creating, however amateur.

Another day of random #watercolor where I wasn't sure what to do so I painted one of our hanging plants, then flung bright colors at the page.

I didn't have a lot of time or ideas for my #watercolor tonight so I did this. All the colors on my palette went down, in a row, and then I painted a little over-easy egg. If the point is "art every day" then I'm doing it. I need to watch more instructional videos, though.

Day two of doing little #watercolor things. Did a little sky, some hills, and a 'wee bothy' (inspired from our trip to #Scotland three years ago). It's not perfect, but it's art.

I haven't been creative in a long time. The #Finch app challenged me to be creative every day. I'm watching some Kristin Van Leuven on YouTube and just doing some fun exercises. Doesn't have to be perfect, just has to be done. #watercolor #art #watercolorpainting #painting

My #LastFourWatched for my #LetterboxdFriday. Bring Them Down was some of the best #cinema I've seen in a while. Also I apparently missed The Amazing Spiderman for this many years. It was OK.

The sky was beautiful this morning. The camera on my phone doesn't do it trus justice, but it still looks peaceful. #phonephotography

It's been almost two years since our trip to Scotland. In a few months I'll be back in the British Isles to visit friends in Cornwall. I'm counting down the days till I'm back and eating a chippy tea.

I'm going to send this to my therapist and ask for a diagnosis

My part of NC rarely sees snow, but both cold fronts brought us a pleasant dusting. Here is the view from my home office on Tuesday night.

I know, I know, the news and the salute.

But also: our 7yo daughter just made WifeUnit a perfect cup of coffee and delivered it to her.

School and in-person work are cancelled because of the Great Blizzard of 2025.

We have to take the good as it comes.

I am on RedBook/Xiaohongshu and kept seeing people make steam eggs, so I decided to try it out. They're delicious! I am having fun learning more about China.

At least my phone screen will always have the burn-in...
