If I were short, I wouldn’t mind a Hobbit-style house, but at 6'0", I’m more like Gandalf. I’d spend most of my time tilting my head just to navigate the place. 🙄

I’m enjoying my Iced Mocha latte with Almond milk—it’s so delicious! But I might be due for a new espresso machine. I’ve had this one for about 5 years now. It’s still working well, but I’d love a machine that offers more pressure to bring out a richer, more aromatic espresso flavor.
I just had sausage gravy and biscuits for breakfast, but it wasn’t homemade like my family used to make on Sundays when I was growing up. I missed that, but it was still a good breakfast!
“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

Paris spent a decade ripping out car lanes and replacing them with 550km of bike paths, pedestrian squares, and actual trees — one of the most ambitious urban transformations on the planet. The results are real. Amazing! The hard part now is keeping that momentum going after Hidalgo leaves office.
My blog doesn’t usually wander into geopolitics, but a couple of emails about the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran showed up in my inbox last week, and even after I set them aside, the question kept nagging at me.

Yesterday started with a routine trip to Paintsville, KY, for an eye doctor appointment. The news was mostly good—everything looks stable—but since I’m managing diabetes, I’ll be back for a follow-up in three months to stay on top of things. However, there is something we have to watch closely. They saw a spot on the scan, and honestly, without an interpreter there, it was hard to fully grasp what was happening.
It’s incredibly heartbreaking to see this today. True peace will never be reached, and the situation will only get worse (and, yes, it is a satire photo, with aliens in this picture).
I recently set up my MacBook Air. I had forgotten how lightweight it is—it feels fantastic. Now I can browse the internet and get my work done away from my desk, where I usually work on my Mac mini.
