The Mackronite

The creative and destructive urges are often co-located. (at Cafe O'Play)

It's been a... warm December and there's reason to believe, maybe this winter will be better than the last. (at Cuyahoga Valley National Park)

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, I could hear my dear Heather reading to our little mouse from "Twas the Night Before Christmas"...

Hm. Maybe H wasn't as happy to see me as I initially thought.

Trick 'r treat! #halloweenie

"The new blimp is a zeppelin? I don't know whether I'm excited ...or concerned that words have no meaning anymore."

This angel is likely out for the night.

Ya know, this is pretty cozy. Think I might take a nap too...

Finally stopped by Square Records, our friendly neighborhood record shop, looked down and found a brochure for "How We Got On" by the one and only @idrisgoodwin to be performed in Cleveland's famed Playhouse Square. Can't wait to go! (at Square Records)

"Huh. That woman looks like Skyla." Small world, episode #412: In which a magazine from a university in LA where Heather taught before we meet in Georgia arrives at our home in Akron, Ohio, featuring an old friend from Nashville.

Heather just got faster and faster as she ran. Maddy was beaming when she saw her Mommy coming around the corner and down the final stretch for the #AkronMarathon (at Canal Park (Akron, Ohio))

Crouching down as the Browns prepared to make a goal line stand while the Dawg Pound cheered loud enough to make the ground shake. That was neat. (at FirstEnergy Stadium)

That's why I never liked Uncle Joe. He was always making inappropriate claims. #nofilter (at West Point Market)

"Olaf!" #GetTheeBehindMeRiddle

Ran 10 miles, played outside with Mads, watched the Browns stink in the company of good people, watched them almost comeback to win, cheered the Falcons' win over Nawlins and made it home before dark for choice TV time with my beautimous wife on Day 6 of #100happydays
