Put on music and sway to it for 39 minutes.


It was supposed to be cloudy but it cleared up right after sunset and comet Tsushibchan-ATLAS made a surprising visit. Also found out that I can see it from my front yard without going to faraway places in search of western horizon.

My daughter and her roommate went to Acadia National Park on their Fall break. I am very happy for her and also a little sad. We have been to Acadia so many times as a family and have so many great memories. Wish we were all there together, making more memories.


Finished reading: Reykjavík by Ragnar Jónasson 📚

After the trip to Iceland, I wanted to read a story that is based in Iceland. This mystery was a perfect fit for that. ⭐⭐⭐⭐


Seeing some faint northern lights from my front yard. This year has been just insane for me to view this. It is going to go on for another year before subsiding. I am really enjoying it.
