Former practitioner of the covert & clandestine, now less nuanced. Ideally outside, pairs well with wine, books, & music. humbled by the universe.

There’s nothing better then meeting old colleagues/friends and over a bottle of wine, debating our deeds and whether we left the world a better place.

I hate when people at work ask you what books you are reading for professional development. I am reading books to counteract the effects of being professionally developed. I am reading books that bring me back to being human.

If you're in the Bay Area, would you consider adopting this cat? Friends of Bear does amazing work, rescuing cats off the street. But they are running out of room and cats like this constantly get passed over.

Would you consider opening up your heart and home for this guy?

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
