them bones
Hey, friends.
It’s been really busy, as is usually the case in late May / early June when the school year ends. I’ll get back to some kind of consistency here soon enough as we settle into summer’s rhythm.
But while I ha...

It’s post-surgery day T+24. My recovery continues more or less without issue. My right hand and arm continue to improve slowly, and I’m still not seeing much of an uptick in my left hand. I’m only wearing the cone o...
me and Sia
Hey! Still here. Been too busy the last couple of weekends to continue what had been a pretty good streak of weekly dispatches. I’ll get back to it once we get through graduation season.
A quick update on the neck situation is in or...
shaving is a challenge
My surgery Thursday was completed without issue. It took about three hours, as planned. My greatest fear1—waking up during the procedure—mercifully did not come to pass. Dr. Wang stopped by immediately afterward an...

Dawes at the Chop Shop in 2023
My phone was blowing up last Sunday as I was driving from Logan to the hotel I stay at near my office in Lexington. Everyone I know wanted me to be aware that Dawes was opening the Gra...
there’s a light, what light
I managed to get this outdoor lamp installed in the front yard over the weekend. The old one rusted out and fell apart (at least the laws of thermodynamics remain unbroken) and I got the new one up in about an hour....

another Sunday Seven
I’m about a week into my post-Instagram life, and I have to say I miss it far less than I thought I might. I’ve quit several social media platforms before, so I know about those withdrawal symptoms: loo...
