At the risk of breaking my online anonymity, I will share a portrait a student drew of me.

A child’s drawing on a yellow Post-It note

It features a large, round head outlined in green. Under the head are a pair of feet, depicted as lines with horizontally oriented ovals in the ends. The lips have been drawn in green and accented in red. The brown ears are prominent and feature dangling earrings. The nose has been created with a stamp of a turtle.

Nachos are self care.

The chips are topped with beans, red chile, lettuce, tomatoes, and onion. There is a glass of amber colored beer on the table next to the nacho tray.

@sgazzetti.bsky.social Heading your way this evening. Send a DM if you’d like to grab coffee or nachos in the coming days.

First time back in a gym in a while. A dude decides to do seven sets of “sit ups” right next to me on a bench set like this. Does nothing else, wonders off when I take a call and mention my spouse.

Missed opportunity to name this cocktail The Reflecting Pool.

Found a good way to kill time, ignore the news, and get a few steps in while I waited for a car repair.

“End of the Year in a Middle School Classroom” Mixed media featuring hand sanitizer, a kippah, and an unfurled vomit bag 2026

A photo of the bottom of a bookcase. There is an upside-down kippah in with a hand sanitizer container within it. Adjacent are a random drawstring bag and an unfurled (empty)blue vomit bag.

Behold, a visionary future for urbanism in DC:

We too had a terrier-ist that needed a muzzle and a Trazadone to make it through a vet visit (or a visit to an area with other dogs). You and Higgins both have my sympathy.

What now, Apple? I’m still scarred from the last two.

How has it taken me, a 1980s fan of the Washington Football Team, this long to go have a drink at Theisman’s? Anyway, it’s a cromulent sports bar with decent pricing.

I have one you can borrow. Better views than any hotel 😉!

Sorry I’m late. I had to outfit my work bag with new flair.

Young child, looking at the back of my hand: “What’s wrong with your hand?! It’s like water!” Dear reader, he had noticed my veins.

Last year my household put just 6,600 miles on the one vehicle we own (yay, city living), so gas prices don’t affect us as much as they do others. But, yikes, right now I don’t love needing 93 octane.

Like these “super car” heels?

Ah yes, only the best from the brands I trust.
