“We could be together Walking on, walking on the moon”

🚀🚀

Just a friendly reminder for everyone as your Monday is (hopefully) winding down…

“Man, what a week…” Me at 8:58am on a Monday.

Yeah, this gives me some hope. 20k inside and another 5k outside in the overflow?! 💪 Not too shabby Utah, not too shabby at all!

Well hello there, little buddy.

I avoid impulse buying when I can, but I can’t stop thinking about this book. Banned here in ALL Utah schools?! I may need to go back and pick this up if it’s still available. Any guesses as to what it is? Also…this is a top tier move imo. The curiosity is absolutely killing me.

Does Emm have a best friend? Or a friend with control issues? Inquiring minds want to know. Did Emm write “STOP!” or was the first “stop” not emphatic enough in all lowercase? 🤔😳😆

A cold, wet, and gloomy kinda day. I’m okay with that.

Goodnight from Utah. Much love to you all. And extra big hugs to those who need it. ❤️‍🩹

Just gonna leave this here. Aww…poor little guy.

<record scratch> *freeze frame* “Yup, that's me. you're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation”

First ladybug of the season seen here in one of our porch planters (spotted by my eagle-eyed son) on the first day of spring for the northern hemisphere. Happy Vernal Equinox! “Now is the winter of our discontent. made glorious spring by this son of mine” 😉

Perhaps the last (hopefully) icicles of winter 2025?! I can’t believe it snowed this morning and it’s going to be 73° next week. Springtime in Utah!

Take a few minutes from *whatever* you’re doing and give this a listen: Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come” (inspired by events in Cooke's life, most prominently when he and his entourage were turned away from a whites-only motel in Louisiana) performed by violinist Charles Yang. You’re welcome.

Saturday afternoon in Utah, overlooking the Salt Lake Valley - and purdy clouds over the Wasatch. Hope you’re all enjoying (or at least surviving) the weekend so far. <deep breath…sigh>

Get your Measles titer checked folks. For you and your loved ones: “Essentially, if you have immunity to things other than measles (Chicken Pox, for example), a measles infection can reduce or entirely erase that immunity, and opening you up to secondary infections.” asm.org/articles/201...

Just a friendly PSA for my Utah folks in Salt Lake County. If you don’t already have a Salt Lake CITY library card - get one. It’s free. And with it you can access over 5,000 magazines via the Libby App. From National Geographic and The New Yorker, to Aperture, Smithsonian, and in MANY languages!
