I guess I'm rooting for Spain today.

Lower temperature today, but wildfire smoke keeping the windows closed. Overnight iced coffee to start the day.

Next book up. (Should also have another ebook queued up before the end of the week.)

The historic center of UNESCO World Heritage Site Trinidad, Cuba. #travel

Time for an Aperol spritz to celebrate Independence Day.

Gotten everything done today, so time for a canchánchara. #cocktails

Today's joyful impulse buy:

This was the "private" beach associated with my hotel in Mui Ne, Vietnam.

Oh my, forgot about this pagoda.

Hydration break at Bergen Hall in Jersey City.

Bored by soccer, so it's reading and whiskey.

Did the watch party not have a screen budget?

Feels like a good afternoon for a canchánchara #cocktails

NYT finally got the headline right.

Summer Friday coffee.

Some of today's beer fun with a friend visiting.

Just started this, so not sure about recommending yet. Also in the middle of Peter Hessler's Other Rivers. It's amazing.

It's time for overnight cold brew in the French press to cope with the heat and humidity. #coffee

About to finished this amazing work tonight. Highly recommended. #booksky Whiskey is tasty, too.

My neighborhood isn't exciting, but I got all this at the corner grocery for $8, so I've got that going for me.

This is the way summer Friday should look. #beer #booksky

If @mikeygow.bsky.social ever moves to Jersey City, there's a new building just for him.

What does this say about my drinking habits since 2012?

It's a bottle kill kind of night. Think this bourbon was sitting on my shelf for 4 years. Delicious.

Sky was beautiful for a bike ride, though there was a little rain and a lot of wind.

Does the position come with a hat and bell?

Did I see a cruise ship docked at Liberty Island?

Beer for the day off. Departed Soles catching strays porter. #beersky

Interesting book. Not so much a mystery as it is a novel of a woman finding her sense of self in society. Quite engaging storytelling.
