Fort

We’re back to the fort at night for a haunted ghost tour! #AsOneDoes

USU

Ugly shoes update. Also the number of drunk people stumbling around Lake George in the evening is off the charts!

Hike

Hike in the woods. Also I am listening to an audiobook about coyotes. So probably #DeadSoon. Also #TicFest #Folliculitis

Walnut

Got the walnut! And two other nativities below. Also an owl keychain. #Hoarder

Joiner

I’m a joiner! Bought the picture package! Ha ha! It’ll go in the trash when we get home. Digital images below.

Constant

This is how I deal with Mr. K’s constant texts without his knowing I’ve seen them. Addicted!

Cruise

Wow! Unanticipated best seats on the cruise! Also our lounge singer is going through something she was beating out Amy Winehouse’s Love Is a Losing Game when we’re were being seated and I almost had an #ExtremeEmpath moment.

Fort

We’re perched on a lakefront bench waiting for Fort William Henry to open. Tourists! We’ve been up since like five o’clock. Elderly. More pics below!

Navidad

This walnut nativity in a closed store window is sending me! I told Mr. K that it’s now the only reason we came to Lake George. Also his birthday is yesterday’s news. It’s over!

George

Happening! Lake George dinner cruise! Also it’s still winter. Mr. K is peeing. As one does. Diabetes.

Bidet

I hate the vanity in the bathroom. Which is very much not original. Here’s some playing in ChatGPT. Real bathroom below.

Refresh

Using Ai tools to update kitchen. I long for butcher block counters tops. They feel so warm and inviting.

I’m not sure what is going on with this post. I meant to use this picture?

Ice

The good news is that living like I’m Little House on the Prairie and keeping my heat at 68 over the last few months has reduced my rolling average kilowatts used from around 1050 to 960. The bad news is that my bill still continues to climb like a monkey on crack.

Mango

It’s the smallest, teensy, tiniest sip of mango margarita ever! #SippySip

Hud

We found a cute house! It’s trapped in 1950s but pristine and in flawless shape! And I’m kinda in love with the pink and powder blue bathroom. Mr. K hates it! Pic below. It’s in a cute neighborhood, sits up off the street a bit, and has a super private fenced-in side yard. It has no garage, but instead a massive concrete driveway that extends far enough back to accommodate a shed.

Nostra

This morning, I was thinking about that time I spent a high school summer with my TRS80 computer writing basic program code to generate random vocabulary stems for a conlang. I had different probabilities set for word length, consonant vs. vowel selection, monophthong vs. diphthong, etc. based on parts of speech and frequency of usage. I created a textbook / study guide of sorts for the language that I had bound into a book. This was 1,000 years ago before people had printers, copiers, or book binding equipment at home – as one does now. I did all this by bouncing around town to different places, getting all the pieces and parts stitched together. It was an adventure that lasted many months, and I felt so proud. This morning, I was pondering that one could probably ask an Ai to instantly do all of this with the wave of a hand. I wonder if there are any weird kids like me using Ai to do whacky fun things. I would have been like a kid in a candy store if I were growing up now. Who knows what magic I might have whipped up?
