A friend of mine is wading into the speculative NFT market. Now for those of you who don't know what an NFT is - "A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unit of data stored on a digital ledger, called a blockchain, that certifies a digital asset to be unique and therefore not interchangeable. NFTs can…
April 27, 2021: I’ll sleep like a baby!
Dinner for me is usually steel cut Irish oatmeal with some protein powder, almond butter, oat milk, and frozen blueberries but, tonight, I decided to go off-book with The Vatican, Burger Priest's double cheeseburger served between two grilled cheese sandwiches, with grilled onions and jalapeño bottle caps. Tonight, I bet I will sleep like a…

April 25, 2021: Suji Sunday!
Walk-ready! Flower power. Reacting to the sound of that treat in your pocket. Who's the pretty girl?
April 24, 2021: Pug art and Stargate. What more do you want?
Akemi's artwork featuring many of the pugs she follows on instagram. Trying to convince to do a book. Okay. I've limited myself to two desserts a day (not including chocolate which, of course, can be enjoyed freely throughout) and I already feel more energetic. I don't believe I've lost any weight yet, but I only…
April 23, 2021: Meanwhile on the home front…

April 22, 2021: Whatever.
My attempts to secure the first dose of a vaccine have proven fruitless. I've checked out two different sites offering appointments at a few of the clinics in the area. One helpfully informs me that there are no appointment slots available. The other unhelpfully doesn't even offer me the opportunity to proceed past the "choose…

April 18, 2021: Suji Sunday!
Weekend Mode Matching with mom. Co-writing that script with dad. Suji doesn't do stairs. One of my favorites from back in the day. Check out these two little clowns.
April 17, 2021: The doctor is in. And she brought bento!
Even though her birthday isn't until tomorrow, Akemi continues to celebrate in the lead up to the big day. This afternoon, our friend Dr. Blackjack gifted her (us!) a double gorgeous bento courtesy of Kaiseki Yu-Zen Hashimoto. Each box contained a multitude of varied culinary marvels reminiscent of the osechi-ryori Akemi was desperately trying to…
April 16, 2021: Meanwhile, on the home front…
Another visit to the Akemi Café... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWDXcunWENc Sampling lotus root soup... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vhsVSIA5tY Akemi sings the tune to the same three damn songs EVERY DAY... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx_TzRHPA-0
April 15, 2021: Suji’s haul, my Fantastic Four fancast, Yes/No, and more from the Stargate vault!
When this was delivered this afternoon, my first thought was that Suji had somehow gained access to my credit card and manage to order herself four bags of freeze dried salmon treats, four bags of freeze dried chicken treats, and two bags of beef liver treats. But then I realized "Wait. No. She doesn't know…
April 13, 2021: Oops, almost forgot!
Whew! Almost forgot to blog! https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1381971596760481797 I mean, it's kind of crazy. Every week, a small business shuts down and, every week, a new cannabis shop opens up. Or I see an announcement of a new condo development. It's kind of depressing. In the unlikely case you missed it, check out yesterday's Dark Matter Monday…
