New year, new calendar.

Dinosaurs! The year’s first trip to the American Museum of Natural History.

Saw Dark Universe – the new film at the Hayden Planetarium narrated by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, the last day of the Whale exhibition, dinosaurs!, spoke with a docent about Archaeopteryx, toured the African mammals room, flew through birds, strolled primates, found a possibly previously closed room on meteorites & gemstones, wandered through human evolution, and skimmed some Native American peoples. A full day, but a good day. As is pretty much any day we get to see dinosaurs & space.

Forget Honey Badger, this is an animal that gives not even half a shit. Nembu’s decided he is too old to move for the vacuum — and you can just clean around him.

Have I mentioned lately, I love this dog? Nembu doesn’t even play – he does what he wants.

Winter snow meets Summer cookery.

Finished some new birthday cards.

15th Street/Prospect Park – out to see American Hustle

(wrapperless) Dumplings, Twilight Zone marathon & board games = the best kind of New Year celebration.

After 8 days of company + a holiday, this morning’s smoothie & some kombucha is a welcome sight.
