May 2024: I'm back, for now. My previous account was M*Pgh. I left suddenly a few years ago. My previous feed was a mess, and it was my fault. Fixing it was going to require too much work, and moderators told me they were going to suspend my account, so I pulled the plug. Now I'm giving it another try, doing it by the rules. All photos were taken by me, except where noted. Some of my previous photos will make it back to this account. The profile photo is a selfie taken in April 2024. If you followed me at M*Pgh, I regret losing touch with you.

While I was gone from here, my father passed away, I retired from my job, and my partner and I are now husbands. Bad times and good times. Life continues.
