Today is Danielle’s birthday. She would have been 44 today. I shan’t be alone as I’ll be with her sister and family. But today will be a difficult one indeed.
I missed you and love you, darling!
Pink Floyd, A Momentary Lapse of Reason on vinyl.
Newest Acquisition, which makes this my fourth Floyd album on vinyl!
Danielle has been interred in her final resting place. She is next to her mother and other family in New Jersey. We had a smaller family service at the chapel, and then she was placed in the connected columbarium with love and affection. Rest well my darling!
Yes – the hype is real!
It was utterly charming, and Ryan Gosling was great as the “I’m not an astronaut” guy learning what it means to be brave.
Texas weather is so weird! I’ve lived here all my adult life and I still haven’t gotten used to it.
Marley is hiding her face from the paparazzi.
Honestly, you have more expertise on that than I. I own it, played for about 6 hours, and it didn’t grab me. I may have to go back and revisit.
This image gives off so much sass!
That has to be it.
She had the whole bed, but decided to lay on top of the sweater I removed earlier and failed to put away. Crazy cat!

Self Sabotage — that’s a good band name! 😆
Oh no!
I feel kinda spiffy today.
New Year, new picture and proof of life.
I’m still kicking, and I hope 2026 will be MUCH better!
I have finally acquired one of my favourite Tears For Fears albums. Roland’s voice throughout this recording is exceptional!
This was hard to find! eBay helped but this was an import from Brazil as it’s near impossible to find in the U.S.

Three months today. I’ve made it ¼ of a year without Danielle. It’s surreal but getting easier, albeit very lonely. Friends and family have been very helpful as I move forward.
My nieces and nephews changed their costume ideas when they found out I was coming to spend Halloween with them. The family that plays Star Wars together stays together. I was so surprised when they all wanted to dress up similarly. I had so much fun! @thedarkempire.bsky.social #starwars
I have de-Halloweened my house. I always feel a little sad when it come to that point.
Fall decorations are still up, but it’s not the same. 👻
I won’t be too sad or sappy with this post, lest I fall into melancholy myself, but I merely want to wish my beloved a Happy Hallowversary!
Danielle and I would have been married 12 years today. I hope she’s out Trick-or-Treating in the great beyond.
I miss you, darling.
Uncertainty and loss are the two demons dwelling within my soul,
Can hope and trust become the new saviors of my torn life?
Time has taken two more months from me without my darling Danielle.
I try to remember the good times and her infectious laughter, and that does help ease my pain, but the sorrow remains and the overwhelming feeling of loss washes over me nonetheless.
I miss you, darling.
After six years of leftover autographs sitting in boxes, my sister-in-law and I finally got the last of them up. Thank you Christyn.
The first two pics are the newer ones and the last pic is an attempt at a wide shot of everything. This is 15+ years of attending conventions.
Wow!
So I did a thing!
WIP from the amazing @prathertattoos.bsky.social ! Scott did an amazing job for my first session, and I can’t wait for everyone to see the final artwork.
This was actually a belated birthday gift thanks to Danielle.

Woah!
The decorating has begun!
I don’t care that it’s not (technically) fall yet. I’ve only started on the inside anyway. The exterior spooky stuff will wait until October first. 🍁👻
I go outside on my back porch to water my mosquito plants – the ones that are supposed to keep them away.
Yeah, they’re just buzzing around it and hanging on the leaves as if to say, “Wassup?”
This is the equivalent of them giving me the middle finger!
These two images are the first pictures ever taken of us and the last picture she ever sent me, and she was still smiling.
I miss you, baby!
It's been one month since my beautiful wife's passing, and it still doesn't seem real.
I discovered some of the first emails we exchanged after meeting each other back in January 2005. Then we started dating in March of that same year, and the rest is glorious history.
I’m very sorry for your loss.
I’m coping with my grief as well due to a recent passing.
She’s home.
The funeral home called and told me Danielle was ready to come back to me.
I can’t believe almost a month has elapsed since she passed. It still doesn’t seem real.
She will stay with me for a couple of months and then she’ll travel to New Jersey to be interred next to her mother.
