  1. Before lichens he ran a range of websites under the biology.ie banner: revision material for school exams; Web 2.0 mapping to collect phrenology, roadkill etc. He was a pioneer in using the Internet for citizen science.

    I found him a kind, thoughtful, interesting companion on the field. I learnt much from him. His excitement when we saw a lizard in a wall in Glen Tilt, didn't stop him from carefully getting a good photo.

  3. Felix has been physically gone for 33 years now, an amount of time that is almost impossible for me to believe. He’s been gone longer than he lived. And through all of those years, there is rarely a day that I do not think about him.

  9. Apparently, I can do pet portraits, too. Who knew furry had "real life" applications?

  10. such a long long way
    to where your tower soars
    against the falling sky
    refusing to be last

    but this is how you fly
    with all your children calling now
    for more and ever more
    exfoliating gas

    metal birds and oil and concrete
    swirl around your prideful head
    though all the rest will end up dead
    oh what a laugh

    “we came, we burned, we plundered”
    will not be written on your tomb
    nor carved upon a passing cloud

    nor ever read

  11. Frankenstein has sauntered up the bifröst to Valhalla. She was 17, and in her last years we questioned whether she was secretly immortal, having lived with kidney disease and hyperthyroidism for 5 years or so. But she went downhill pretty fast these last few months, and breathed her last in my arms at about 10 after midnight. She was known by many names: Frankie, Fritz, Franklin, Stinker, Asshole, Purrbox... and I'm sure others I've forgotten, or never knew.

    She was, like most cats, aloof and independent...until she wasn't. Then she was all demands for warm snuggles, headbutts to the chin, fish breath in your face. She went through a phase where she would spend winters' nights on my chest with her paws at my throat, firmly massaging the blood vessels which transported blood to and from my brain. I presume my neck was soft and warm, and a more pleasant tactile experience than Ryan's stubble. Or she was trying to help me sleep by rendering me unconscious.

    She was sweet and funny, and perpetually exasperated by our stubborn insistence in acquiring additional family members. She never warmed up to our first dog, Bailey, or our current dog, Hazel, but she did enjoy the girls as infants and after age 4. (Toddlers were a no-go).

    She would not tolerate additional cats, ever. With her delicate digestion and food sensitivities, she made pretty sure that we wouldn't be interested in additional cats either. I will not miss her special food smells, or the resultant output. I was intermittently allergic to her too - and my eyes would start to burn, stream, and swell for no reason other than she was in my face. When she would affectionately rub her jaw on my chin she left saliva samples, making my skin itch. Not gonna miss that.

    I will miss her though. I'll miss the rumbly purr-machine who insisted on snuggling me through every chilly night. I'll miss the chattering sounds when she spied a bird out the window, the deep, unearthly wails she'd release if we let her have her stuffed hedgehog, or just her regular conversation, greeting us, announcing her hunger or thirst. I'll miss the sunlight dappling the striking colors of her coat and illuminating her brilliant green eyes.

    Goodbye Frankie, my sweet kitty. I love you.

  12. My grandfather was a Bell lineman for all his working life.

    This Christmas my aunt got each of us a vintage glass insulator of the type he used to use. I wish I knew more about it but I do love having a little piece of history to remember him by.

  13. 💔 This is the 4th death I’ve heard about today, the last day of the year.

    😔 The #InMemorium lists seems
    unusually long for 2022, does it not?

  14. A Rainy Day at the Beach

    Late May is no guarantee
    nor is time or averages
    a good life or a kind heart

    Soggy jeans, beachcombing
    pummelled brolly; gentle lapping
    a bleak hushed beauty

    Continue on, say goodbye
    I’m sorry I didn’t visit more
    I was avoiding someone else
