Bella is a mere 18, but she has already told me she's not getting old, and no living organism is more stubborn than the beautiful Miss Belle. (Or, HRH Princess Bella, Ruler of All She Surveys, her formal title.)
Interesting historical fact: during the days of the Soviet Union, whenever there was a power struggle in the Kremlin, Russian radio stations would suspend their regular programming and play excerpts from Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake". Sometimes for days.
Fun fact: even as we speak, mischief makers have hacked into Russian radio stations and are playing Swan Lake excerpts.
Anyway, here's something to recall those far gone times.
Fair warning #1: the creator of this video drops an f-bomb.
I'm not exactly looking forward to 2026, but I do believe a change is gonna come. Take that as you will. And I'm so fucking grateful for all my friends and loved ones, especially here. You all keep me off the ledge, I swear! And I realized something moving things around in the freezer today: I have sweet potato fries, sweet potato puffs (tater tot style) AND shredded potatoes for hash browns in there! Plus I've got mashed potatoes in the fridge, too. It's a New Year's miracle! I feel very blessed. Stay safe out there, y'all!
Waiting on my personal phone concierge to apply the screen protector and fit it into new wallet-case-thing, and some foobaw game is somehow a factor in the schedule. But I finally have a modern iPhone after several years, because screen shattered 😺
My New Year's wish is for a supermajority in both houses of congress in November.
Indeed there are still helpers we can look to in 2025...and now into 2026.
This last year sucked.
personally and professionally.
I just want dad home and healing now.

Dok, thanks for putting up a post about things that don't suck. You are an island among a shitty ocean.
Ta, Dok, and here's to 2026, especially when the midterms go our way. We need all the Nice Times we can get.
Wow, kudos to Flossie and her current human. Flossie must be very skilled at training humans. Someone should grant her a PhD in human training.
I had a cat that lived to 23. I was impressed.
Hana & Miri, the late, great Maru's cat family, with their NYE episode. Bittersweet 💔

#1 Daughter graduated and got accepted into law school. That’s my highlight for 2025. First pic is favorite from when she was a precocious child.

Don't believe you. GRRRRRRRR.

Spaceship that looks like a child's toy.
Aliens with helmets that look like suppositories.
Widespread property damage.
Lame martial arts choreography.
Adorable Japanese children running *everywhere*.
