Front Yard Sitting

It's that time of the year again and the Adirondack chairs are in place -

Ms. Trixie and I doing a little front yard sitting after a long day.  Enjoying the warmth, the sun and taking it all in!

Tow Zone

Those darn bikers are at it again.  Honestly, I don't think they know how to read...

Would You Ever?!

It's that time of the season, so it would seem based on what I've been seeing out of the 27th floor of my office building - external, high-rise window washing season, YIKES!

You'd NEVER get me in a basket dangling over the side of a skyscraper, NOPE!  Truth be told, I have a hard enough time walking to the windows inside and looking down without getting a tad queasy!

I circled some of the cranes and the baskets in the above pics -

Hear Ye, Hear Ye!

How is this for a cool idea!

We walked into the URI campus bookstore yesterday and this t-shirt caught my eye - the names of all the 2024 URI graduates -

Lo and behold upon closer inspection, looky there, the one and only Miss Emilie Frye -

Yes, of course I bought one!

*** UPDATE ***

I framed the t-shirt myself and used a pink arrow sticky note to point to Emilie's name -

Both Wonderful and Haunting

Weeders Needed

Even rooftop lawns in the big city, about 20+ stories up, have to deal with the dreaded dandelions!

Pesky little buggers -

No Regrets Here!

Roll Up Your Sleeves!

I completed another Power Red blood donation this afternoon!

Getting closer to the 7-gallon milestone!

Here is the Power Red apheresis machine -

Here I am squeezing my squishy football -

I've even already scheduled my next donation appointment, Thursday 9/12!

I'm Eating My Veggies

I'm on a green bean kick lately.

Here is last nights meal I whipped up, garlic and butter green beans and chicken.

So yummy!

When You Gotta "Go"!

The South Station Air Rights Project is well underway with noticeable progress being made weekly, from my vantage point on the 27th floor of my neighboring office building.

What they completed, both inside and out, looks nice so far.

Since I get on and off my commuter train at South Station, I'm looking forward to it's completion.

If you've ever wondered about where high-rise construction workers do their "business"...now you know!

Flying porta-potties, several of them -

I shit you not 😂

Stop Overthinking

If it was only that simple...

It Must Be Me...

For the love of god, what is the deal with product packaging, is it me?!

I bought a package of emery boards from CVS the other day and what should have been a simple task of opening the package to remove a single item, turned into a major event, WTF?!

They're emery boards, why so frick'n difficult to open?

Dew, Dogs And Deer

My early morning weekend walks are the best!  So quiet and peaceful; an ideal time to go.

The lawns were covered in dew this morning.

I came across a couple different groups of deer; one pair who crossed the road in front of me as I approached and the second pair calmly keeping an eye on me from a distance as I walked by.  Oh, I saw you both standing statuesque trying to blend in.  You gotta get up earlier than that to fool me.

A handful of dog walkers, and their 4-legged companions, were out this morning too.

Happy 99!

Happy Birthday Mom 🎂!

Miss you each and every day.

Boxed H2O

This is the water that my company has available in the conference center.

Whether it's "better" or not, you be the judge, however, I will tell you that drinking it offers me a sense of relief that, hopefully, there are no micro plastic floating around inside.

The City Is A Bloom!

Here are a few pictures of the flowers planted outside my Boston office building -

They do a terrific job and usually have flowers or flowery-type displays all year long, which always match the season.
