That light leak on the right might be from using the Pentax lens on the Nikon camera. I assume so at least.
We are still on course to go back to Disney World in September.

Sustainability
Daily writing prompt
Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?
I’ve only been playing this daily prompt game for a few days, and since jumping on the wagon there haven’t been any questions that required any thought, or made me want to… you know… write anything. Now we have one and the theme is going to be shame.
I am going to have to turn in my hippy membership card after this one because up until recently I haven’t really lived my life in a way that could be in any way considered sustainable. The only exception being driving a car with a hybrid engine. Sometimes. Also, that’s only been a part of my life for a few years now. We have two cars in our household an one is a hybrid. The other… very much isn’t. It gets okay gas mileage but nothing to write home about. I drive a lot and when I am covering any notable distance I drive the hybrid. Other than that…
Until recently I never recycled. I produce what feels like a lot of waste. We order food for delivery more than we should and that always comes with tons of packaging that goes into the trash. Plastic, Styrofoam, the works. Fortunately for the Earth, my city sort of forced recycling upon us not long ago. They instituted automated trash pick up and issued a trash barrel and a recycling barrel to each residence. That put me onto the recycling wagon so when it comes to sustainability, I am pleased with myself for adding that to my personal list, but still disappointed with myself for making it to my 50’s before getting on that particular bus.
So I guess I am doing a couple of things to be sustainable now. I just feel like I should have been doing it a lot longer than I have. I seriously doubt I would make any difference, as my hippy self is often overpowered by my much more insistent cynical self, but as a proud bleeding heart liberal my lack of sustainable habits have always been a major source of hypocrisy.
I’m doing better now though. I will continue to do better in the future. I promise.
Most Delicious?
Now how can you answer this question? This is completely subjective. The most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten? That probably changes every time I eat anything. I mean, how many magical chocolate cakes have there been? How many magnificent premium steaks at the Capital Grill or Ruths Chris have there been? How many trips to Kimball’s for ice cream?
I mean, how can a guy reasonably narrow down a lifetime of delicious food, especially when he doesn’t really have a stomach anymore and can’t eat many of the things he used to love?
Today’s Daily Writing Prompt
Daily writing prompt
If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be?
Jeans and a t-shirt, of course. Sneakers too. The t-shirt would either be a Rush tour shirt, or a Bruins shirt, or a Red Sox shirt. You know, something meaningful.
This was a pretty deep question, right? I had to think about it for nearly an eternity. 0.68 seconds, to be exact.
Hanging Out
Me and the girls, just hanging out. Almost time for me to punch into work. Just trying to sneak in a little lunch first.
No Surprises Expected
I expect this to be a routine check in. Here’s hoping I’m right.
It’s been over a year but I still get nervous, even though there have never been any issues. Whatever, right?
Optional
The sign that you can’t see in this picture says “masks are optional.”
I don’t know how I feel about that. I’m trying to be less militant about mask wearing, but I still wear them more often than not. I’m actually wearing one right now as I write this.
Maybe next time I come here I’ll see if I can convince myself to leave it in the car. Maybe.
How Important is Spirituality in Your Life?
This one is easy. It isn’t. Zero percent important. I prefer to focus on things that are real. You know, people, places, and things that actually exist.

Bad Vibes on a Bad Monday
I am not going to go into details but there was something in the track record of the company I’ve worked for for almost 19 years that made me very happy. As of this afternoon, that something is no longer in our track record.
It doesn’t affect me or anyone that I work with directly, but I really feel let down. I was proud of this little factoid and I can’t be proud of it anymore. It sucks.
Also, it’s gloomy and rainy out and I had a crappy night’s sleep last night and I don’t feel like I’ve physically recovered from this morning’s exercise. I guess I am just not having a terribly good day today and I am bummed out.
