Beautiful late summer Sunday here in Denver, as Jemima performs her neighborhood #Hedgewatch duties from our second-floor balcony. It was 94⁰F with bright sunshine, but a scant 22% humidity. I'm glad we have a north-facing condo unit.

Jemima spending a Saturday #Hedgewatch morning keeping an eye out for itinerant dog-walkers. It's almost 90⁰F so far, but pleasant in the shade of our north-facing balcony, since humidity is a scant 15%. Happy International Cat Day to all who celebrate.

Sunday 5/10/26: Minnesota Opera, "I pagliacci." Fantastic set, costumes and staging. Orchestra, superb. Singers? Meh! Whose bright idea was it to have a matinee follow an evening performance with the same cast? When your production's best voice belongs to Silvio, that's trouble.

@StratOMatic After 40+ years & more than 38,200 solo games, I FINALLY had my 1st perfect game! 1986 Pirates vs Padres as part of a full-season replay, NL Game No. 503 (7/9/86). Rick Rhoden goes to 12-6, four days before the All-Star break.

Last night: Czech/Austrian Rudolf Buchbinder (age 79) played & conducted Beethoven Piano Concertos 1 & 5 for 1000+ patrons at Basel [CH] Stadtcasino. Spectacular performances by soloist and orchestra; five well-deserved curtain calls. Brilliant cadenza in No. 1!

Visited Basel's Jewish Museum today. The special exhibit featured the wooden synagogues of Poland, preserved in art thanks to a 1959 book by two Polish architects. Artist Frank Stella was inspired to design a graphic series, including the artwork below that greets visitors.

This car was parked outside my local 24-Hour Fitness Center about a month ago. It might belong to a former employee of the British Broadcasting Corporation now living in Denver, whose initials are M.Y. and who went to work for them in 1971. Maybe?

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

Here’s Jemima, performing critical #Hedgewatch action from our second-floor balcony. The dog-walkers are out in force on this beautiful October Saturday afternoon,

Here’s Jemima, relaxing on our balcony in anticipation of today — International Cat Day. I said to my wife, “Isn’t that every day?” She replied, “Well, for them — yes.”

Celebrating the fourth anniversary of Jemima's Gotcha Day (July 3, 2021). Greetings to cat lovers everywhere from Denver, Colorado.

I can tell ahead of time when an OF "chick" shows up, because it involves some rando "liking" an obscure tweet I made ages ago. The vast majority depict highly ordinary-looking women (not even remotely exceptional), so what's the appeal? Are they making any money this way?

Mesa County clerk Tina Peters gets NINE YEARS in prison. Suck on it, Tina, you unmitigated piece of barely human excrement! huffpost.com/entry/tina-pete…

In honor of #InternationalCatDay, here is our five-year-old rescue, Jemima, who celebrated her third Gotcha Day with us in July. Many thanks to @DDFL Denver Dumb Friends League for bringing us together!!!

Attended @ccityopera Central City Opera's 7/31 performance of Puccini's "La fanciulla del West." Great matinee crowd, terrific orchestra (as usual). Kara Thompson (Minnie) and Grant Youngblood (Jack Rantz) were decent. Standouts: Christopher Job and Matthew Cossack.

Last night's @thespco St. Paul Chamber Orchestra concert with Richard Goode was spectacular! Two Mozart piano concertos, Nos. 18 and 23, played with nuance, and JOY! Three well-deserved curtain calls.
