  1. Good morning. 🌊🐚🪸

    18 January 2026

    I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but I really do need to straighten up my office. It’s out of control again. Computers and stray parts are scattered across my old desk, mixed in with cameras and whatever else has migrated there. Papers of every imaginable origin are waiting for some kind of decision, and a new stack of books has begun forming on the floor beside the bookcase—right where the last one used to be.

    I don’t think it’s pure laziness, though that plays its part. It’s more that clutter just doesn’t bother me the way it once did. There was a time when the sight of a messy room would make me cringe and immediately start straightening. Now I look at it and think… eh. The good thing about this new attitude is that there’s always tomorrow, and whatever needs straightening will still be there. The bad thing is that whatever needs straightening will still be there—probably with one new thing added to the pile.

    In my defense, I stay pretty busy. Even now, while I’m typing this, I’m contemplating a well‑deserved nap. Charlie usually gives me an hour or so to handle that task; truthfully, I suspect he naps too. And then there’s the TV—if I’m foolish enough to turn it on, I find myself trapped in the recliner, nearly prone and unable to move. That chair is eerily magical, a universe unto itself, with the rest of creation swirling around it. It takes almost cosmic strength to break the spell and pull myself free. The urge to use the bathroom works too.

  11. Skimming the Divide

    Here’s a photo of a black skimmer (Rynchops niger) gliding low over the shallows in search of food. At first glance, it looks eyeless—its dark eye nearly vanishes into the black plumage. It reminds me of those blind creatures in sci-fi films that hunt by sound alone.
