  • Fletcher (c. 2004-2020)

    There are few truly magical animals in the world. Fletcher was one of them.

    We only got to know him for 6 years, but in that time he showed me what it looks like to live and love without boundaries.

    We lost him today. And I have no words.

  • The Engineering of Consent

    Like a nightingale with a toothache, I’ve released EP of original retro synthpop music!
    (close your eyes and imagine I was an uncredited songwriter for a number of 80s acts)

    Enjoy on Bandcamp or at your favorite musical watering hole!

  • Greatest Photographer Ever?

    This is the first photo I took with my birthday present, a snazzy new Pixel 4. I guess I’m the world’s greatest photographer now. Thanks, Google!

  • Turning 47

    After a lovely birthday dinner (thank you, Alison!) we enjoyed a peanut butter cake with real maple icing! I tried to adhere to the recommended safety measures when blowing out the candles…

    … but when that didn’t work, I had to resort to the old way of doing things.

    Fletcher got to try a little taste too!

  • Spring is in the Air

    If you follow this blog, you know that Mr. Fletcher’s favorite thing is to smell the air. Whenever he finds spring lingering there, he’s particularly pleased.
