They painted the plane orange! and then very green and gooey, like something out of Ghost Busters. Then the landing gear proceeded to cackle menacingly as we took off. (My daughter says the plane is now French.)

Why did the Denver Airport train announcement just pop into my head and start repeating on loop? It’s not supposed to be an earworm.

Sometimes ice canyons on the side of the street are kinda cool looking. But, I have to say, they’re super extra cool looking when you’ve had a healthy dose of geology and/or planetary-science classes, and so are imagining you’re staring down at something like a diorama of another planet. (Go planetary science!)

You know you’re definitely not a kid anymore when you get home and can’t wait to open up the fridge for those left-over greenbeans calling to you.

There was a squirrel in my parking spot when I got in this morning. Somehow he looked guilty as he looked up and slunk/scurried away. What could he have been up to? Meanwhile, the hordes of geese managed to be picturesque this afternoon – flying through a lowering, twilit snowfall will do that it seems.

I walk south through the parking lot at the end of the day, and this week the twilight-silhouetted mountains and the crescent moon have been keeping me company.

I have a purple rose from my garden blooming on Halloween! How cool is that? Also, there was frost and real, spooky fog this morning – so perfect!

And what did Anna earn for her data-monitoring work today, Jim? It’s a NEEEWW artifact! (And this is why I was a theorist in grad school.)

When you’ve got a sick kid, the job of the parent is the push any sort of real food that they’ll willingly eat like it’s crack. (bagels here today) Note, if they’re still pretty little, the other job is to watch the same Disney movie 3-4 times in one day. (Tangled, back in the day, and so glad Frozen hadn’t come out yet at that point)

My brain is like a bureaucracy. Sometimes it can take a very long time for new or unexpected inputs to work their way through the system. Not because they’re not important, but because there may be bureaucratic structural reorganization that needs to happen before movement can occur. And then ditto if you want some action output.
