It's not often...

It's not often that Allie and I talk about a movie we've seen at the theater for days afterwards, but that's exactly what's happening for both movies Top Gun: Maverick and Elvis. Maverick is a fun thrill ride and Elvis is a fascinating biopic. (From facebook post in July.2022.)

Here is what reddit thought of me in 2022

 

Joie doesn't know where we are going, but...

Joie just wants to go!

Are we the villains?

Thanksgiving Squirrel

This Thanksgiving squirrel is thankful that my dogs cannot climb trees. As Toebzilla and Joie barked from different points around the tree, this little guy scooched around to hide behind the trunk.

EDIT: So, who know?  #thanksgivingsquirrel is apparently a thing on Instagram.  Not a big thing, but there's more than a few postings with this hashtag, going back to 2013; with the first post resembling a bigfoot photo.  And, there's even some activity on twitter.  Fun!

St. Louis and the Gateway Arch

 I've finally returned to St. Louis long enough to take a ride up the Gateway Arch.

Goodbye Nichelle Nichols

My impression of Nichelle Nichols from our brief meeting is that she was a thoughtful and friendly sweetheart. The world is less bright without her.

Nichelle Nichols, 12/28/1932 - 07/30/2022
