I went to a place and I did a thing. Another place, another thing. We can all use a little help when we`re just starting out. Kids were playing, dogs were barking, spring was springing. Check back in 2036 to see if these batteries still work.

I went to a place and somebody did a thing to me. Enter the puff. I find a reason to smile every day. Nature`s sculpture. Apparently I was part of a lawsuit against an insurance company and this is my cut of a $2.67 billion settlement.

Parenthood is a big responsibility. A cormorant in a big hurry. Debris from somewhere upriver. Souvenir from a goose. Luxury river cruise.

Welcome to Smith Garden. If there`s a bug in the flower bed, I`ll find it. It`s like a little wedding. Status report (see May 3 and May 16, 2026). Have you met my friend Lily?

Splat cat. Peppy puppy. Not every singer is a performer. This one is. My fellow Americans. Oh look, a new place downtown for me not to go to.

Lots of cancellations lately. Reminds me of that other time (see March 11 and April 30, 2020). But fortunately, springtime has not been canceled. Squirrels are going after walnuts early. The laundry got done. And the dishes got washed -- eventually.

Dayton Public Radio is moving out of the Metropolitan Arts Center, its home for more than 30 years. Things keep disappearing (see April 22 and 28, 2026). Famous musicians have left the building (see September 13, 2024). I`m leaving this place behind (see July 7, 2014). Even post-it notes become permanent after 12 years.

A walnut fell on my neighbor`s car like a rock. I looked up and saw this fleeing suspect (see June 6 above). Along the sidewalk in the Oregon District. There`s never a cooper around when you need one. I stopped at the Trolley Stop. I suppose all of today`s pictures can be captioned `Along the sidewalk in the Oregon District.`

Obsolete communication methods. Two radio listeners contacted me today to say they enjoyed the music. I appreciate that. My diary of discomfort. 7:14pm I`ve been using parking meters a lot lately.

Discover Classical will soon be on the air in our new studios. I`ll be spending a lot of time here. The musical notes have finally been added (see May 11, 2026). Do you know what this piece is? My office is on the other side of this string quartet. Don`t know what this is, but it looks important.

Sometimes breaking up is hard to do, but not always. I`m not sure if these two will make it to our new studio. I don`t remember having many birthday parties at work. Never thought I`d see A Certain Coworker`s office so uncluttered. A whole lotta nuthin.

In a quiet garden by myself. What could be better? Correction: I`m not really by myself. The secret of spiderwort. A tiny buzz. Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the leaf.

My adolescence is closely tied to a green Nova. The side door was open, so I expected to see skydivers. The Groove Essentials are back (see October 24, 2025). It was another great night for an outdoor concert. The musicians and their songs are all about positivity.

The morning buzz. Always ready to welcome guests. Come to the garden just after the rain ends. I also saw a goldfinch, but it was too fast for me. Orange you glad it`s springtime?
