Never tire of this view.

The moon photographed between tree silhouettes over a lake. The sky is a gradient from gray-blue to almost black. There's a single cloud near the moon that is illuminated by the moon.

Moon got better.

Teaching my daughter the fine art of fly tying with whatever materials you have at hand, and the occasional four letter word. This as yet unnamed fly pattern turned out to be a redhead. She did most of the tying with some assistance.

A close up of a fly fishing fly with a red and silver body, with a black and white tail and hackle. It has a tuft of red over the eye of the hook.

It's absolutely wild to me that I took this photo with my phone. Technology is astounding sometimes. Also, wildfire smoke is bad for you, and bad for the moon.

Did you know that you could just go places on a Monday when you dont have a job? Big employment doesnt want you to know.

I'm a sucker for the classics.

November 21, 1974

Dear Mr. Cox:

Attached is a letter that we received on November 19, 1974. I feel that you should be aware that some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters.

Very truly yours,

CLEVELAND STADIUM CORP.

James N. Bailey,

General Counsel

Much to ruminate on.

More foods should inflate when you cook them.

A Dutch Baby hot out of the oven that has very toasted edges and several large air pockets. It's golden brown and baked in a glass dish. It's also gluten and dairy free.

I haven't seen this documented elsewhere so here's my public service for the day.

A photo of the back of Eustaguio's head when he is preparing to take a corner showing how his hair has been shaved into a point. It's a choice.

Last day. The bathrobe was an essential part of the outfit.

A white man wearing a bathrobe, tshirt, and jeans holding a chalkboard sign like the ones kids have for their first/last day of school. The sign says:

Jeff's
last day at Microsoft
Wednesday, July 1, 2026
I worked on: Visual Studio, Media Center, Zune/Media Apps, Commerce
I am looking forward to: no more Teams meetings, better sleep (no 3am phone calls), time for skiing, hiking, and fly fishing, and volunteering at my kids' schools.
I will miss: the people, the impact, and the challenges.

Is this what you mean? I haven't been able to watch, so I'm reading updates and saw this.

A world cup live blog update from The Athletic: At the tone of four bells across the stadium signalling a score update, the crowd groans. Quietly there is fear with a Canada loss and a big time Bosnia win, Canada could finish third in the group. The crowd roars once they see the update: Qatar has scored.

A photo of John J. Cafaro in 2002. He is a broad white man with black hair and a mustache wearing a comically wide grey suit with a black collar. It is a lot. He looks like a football player dressed up to officiate a local children's beauty pagent.

Ahem. I thought we all agreed to use this format?

Brandi Carlile has such a deep affection for the older generation of musicians and it's genuinely lovely. Bonnie Raitt at 76 was still amazing. Brandi's drummer Terence Clark agrees.

A picture of Brandi Carlile and her band playing at the Gorge. There are two giant video screens set up on either side of the stage, and they are showing a picture of the drummer Terence Clark wearing a "Bonnie Raitt can have me" t-shirt.

Sara Bareilles is apparently about to drop an album that contains all the feelings. If you've lost a parent it might break you.

A picture of the stage at The Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington. Sara Bareilles is visible on stage and on two massive screens flanking the stage. The background is a mostly blue sky and a river cutting through the land.

Past Jeff did current Jeff a solid when he picked this up from The Peculiarity Shop a few months back. I'm just saying that the best time to think about a gift for the next occasion is right now.

Took the kids to the Met, and boy do I understand this "what the fuck do I even do here" expression and festure.

We walked through Central Park after dinner tonight, and it was beautiful after a hot day.
