Happy With a Hint of Fool

I like dabbling with burners and geeks and building stuff and brewing and fire and stilts

Intersign isn't as aggressive about showing off your streak as Duolingo, but I thought I'd keep track of my 50-day ASL progress, anyway. (at Uniondale, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpjmtKYsCxv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Further progress made in wasting time. But every time I post one of these, Le Monde gets slightly easier to read. https://www.instagram.com/p/CpNyKWQOr1r/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

There's a first: The blood-stealing machine busted a centrifuge, so they only got half my platelets this time. (at New York Blood Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Con0z7Cp7lq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

While dashing to the fitness center in my workout shorts this evening, I stopped to appreciate the straightforwardness of their signage. (at Planet Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoOHeSVpaN6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My post-donation donation to myself, a mashed potato, chili, and cheddar casserole. Yum! (at Uniondale, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnsT_mLJbzv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Decided to mix things up with this month's platelet donation by coming on a Saturday. When it's not Sunday or after 6pm, you have to deal with parking passes, but it's not too much extra work. (at New York Blood Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnsBii2pWip/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Watching some circus stuff, right after a morning workout. Gives me further inspiration for future workouts! (at The Westin Boston Seaport District) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnchGshJyVd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Back from a 7-day vacation. Zygon, front, doesn’t care; Lursa, rear, will be traumatized for the night. (at Uniondale, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnQP1wJPfcu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Even being on vacation can't stop me! (at Apopka, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnM9N9UJWyj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Touring the tasting areas at Lakeridge Winery. (at Lakeridge Winery & Vineyards) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnIH0MZJJqt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Also popped into the Maharaja lounge, cramped but with a more fun selection. Having chicken curry, spring rolls, and a cinnamon roll with some merlot. (at John F. Kennedy International Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnAHighJLeo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hey, JFK's Primeclass Lounge has some nifty seating. Not much more food than basic sandwiches, and no alcoholic bevs, but it's my first truly roomy lounge. (at John F. Kennedy International Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm__EHquHOs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Outdoor cat Max has a very distressing looking neck wound, so she's inside for a while. Bad timing, as I'll be away for a full week. (at Uniondale, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm4lzYVpE12/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hey, this vegan cinnamon babka worked pretty well and got enthusiastically positive reviews. The glaze was a bit runny, though, so it was more to add taste than for show. (at Lake Ronkonkoma, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm4NqanO7lq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
