Doug's photo blog — originally a photo a day, now not so much
We’re staying at a friends’ empty house — with our kitties — this week while the worst of the demolition for our bathrooms gets done. This is the longest they’ve been out of the house they know since we brought them home in 2012. Last night they were freaked out and hiding, but this morning Gandalf is stuck to me like glue while Ferrous is still not quite sure, but at least out and exploring.
So long, dated primary-suite bathroom with a tiny, tiny shower. We look forward to meeting your posh new replacement in about 2 months.
Proper technique for seared duck breast is counterintuitive: low and slow, skin side down. So long as you’ve scored the skin, the fat will have time to render and become crispy without overcooking the meat.
Going through a closet today to free up some space for our upcoming bathroom renovation, I came across an Apple Newton. In comparison to modern cars, one from 1993 (assuming it runs) works fine on contemporary roads, still not all that different in its basic intended purpose after 33 years. A handheld computer of that same age? Not so much.

Our bungalow came with its own private outdoor bed for reading / daytime napping.
We’re in Aruba for a little break. This will be our accommodations for the next few days.
This snowbank has been here (Boston, on my walk from office to train) for long enough to get marked up by DigSafe.
The fancy new fare-enforcement turnstiles at South Station are wrapped up like arborvitae, waiting for warmer weather or better software or something.
