This afternoon, my son and I went to watch the Hamilton recording that’s in movie theaters for a limited time. There were some scenes I hadn’t noticed, before which was surprising.
After all this time, the talent involved is still awe-inspiring.
Going to the movies on a Tuesday afternoon is a rare treat I don’t know that I’ve ever gotten to experience either.
My son sent a text saying that his new apartment has reached “the pile stage of organization” and asked for some help moving beyond that. 🥰 I’m looking forward to spending the day with him.
Last night I was thinking about Joseph, Oregon which made me think of fresh tomatoes which made me think of BLTs which reminded me that this is the perfect time to get a BLT from my favorite local bakery. This may be all I want to eat between now and October 1st. Heaven!
Late summer in Portland translates to spiders. Lots of them! Orbweavers specifically, I think.
This wouldn’t bother me so much, except for the fact that I keep running into spider webs every time I walk outside. I’m fairly confident last week I had a huge spider dangling from my hair after walking through a web with my forehead and today I had a web stretch across my eyeballs. My eyeballs!!!
I didn’t know there was a Guinness World Record for walking on Lego bricks and I’m also not planning to attempt it. I was reminded how painful it is just yesterday! Bringing visibility to the struggles veterans face is a worthwhile goal, however.
Besides the obvious struggle of being laid off, the most difficult part of this is missing people. I’ve had 4 years to get to know and care about these people, many of them I spoke to just about every weekday. It’s weird to suddenly not have that!
Heather Cox Richardson’s short history of the Nineteenth Amendment is just as good as you’d expect.
This past Friday marked a decade since we moved to Portland Oregon and this house. While it was obviously nice to be able to walk down the hill and put my feet in the Pacific Ocean before, the whole family has really thrived in Oregon. It was a good decision.
I just used my slide rule in my physics final.
My youngest is thriving in school and in life. :)
Some of the neighbors had told me they heard an eagle in the trees above my house, but no one had seen one. Tonight we were sitting outside enjoying the lovely weather when a bald eagle flew 20 feet over our heads!
Wow! I am glad I was able to see that beautiful bird so close!
Things you notice when you look closer.
I noticed today that when the sun was shining the bees were out, but when the sun was hiding I couldn’t find any bees.
Cory Booker is a hero. AP news link here.
Being at the ATmosphere Conference, spending time with intelligent, passionate people in real life, was like a breath of fresh air. Gratefully, the feeling lingers.
Videos are here for future reference.
Testing something.
Looking forward to attending the ATmosphere conference in Seattle this weekend with a couple coworkers.
No, Mr. President. We don’t want you to break the law.
Finally! I have wanted to see Hamilton forever, it seems!

I’m ready for people that actually love our country to be in office again. This is a disgrace.
@steveflip.bsky.social Hi.
@steveflip.bsky.social Hey happy Friday.
A dark evening: kimberlykg.com/2025/02/2…
Yesterday evening, we had only our second storm this winter. This one came in the form of an atmospheric river along with some wild wind. We (the neighbors and I) anticipated losing our power and indeed we did. Wi…
This little guy has become such a constant companion that I’ve begun naming him. Lately, he’s Robbie the Ribbiter.
I’ve never seen him, but sometimes I’m fairly certain he’s inside with me. This was recorded in my basement.
