I do live in a special place. We have clear and a dark nights, and we have the San Francisco Peaks sitting atop nearly every view in town. I like to take a snapshot of the changing seasons from my twelve minute commute.

Yesterday, hanging out with my son who is on spring break: “Dad, what is ink made of?” What followed was a perfect hour long Wikipedia dive together into pigments, dyes, CMYK colors, lapis and iron oxide. I learned a bunch!

Current state: trash talk.

I’m going to need some more of this today.

We got a bit of late-season snow yesterday, so it’s a beautiful slightly snowy day out today. More weather is expected later this weekend, too! March in the high country is good.

Trinity Episcopal is the church where my mom sang in the choir, my grandfather did the books, and where my parents were married 50 years ago this summer. I was able to walk by and see it on my San Jose trip last week. It had been a long time since.

After getting home on my final flight very late last night, I really needed this afternoon espresso. It was delicious.

I think I’ve also managed to get images into my feed! Winning Friday.

Do you know the way to San Jos—never mind, found it.
