Anesthesiologist. Husband. Dad. Labels syringes vertically, like a maniac.

A black cat looks down at the camera. Above her, a sign reads, “You did not wake up today to be a weak ass bitch.”
A colorful image from the game 4 by 3, at Hank green.com. The text says July 9, 2026. 209 points. No mistakes. Reverse Rainbow. Sub 90 seconds. Four categories. Three words. One shared word.
A basketball dream team with Chris Paul at point guard, Luka Dončić at shooting guard, Kevin Durant at small forward, Chuck Person at power forward, and Wilt Chamberlin at center.
A photo taken by me in fall, 2017 of Raphael’s fresco, The School of Athens. There’s way too much happening visually for my poor descriptive skills to do it justice.
Movie Poster: Mars Needs Bees. Two men in jumpsuits wearing earphones with antennas look at a swarm of bees.
A young man wearing a black jacket, black shirt, and skinny red tie smirks at the viewer while a young woman wearing a lime green scoop-neck T-shirt looks at him wistfully. Out of focus behind them, a banner reads, “Welcome Class of 1986.” This is the cover photo of the soundtrack album for the movie, “Grosse Pointe Blank,” starring John Cusack and Minnie Driver, pictured.
The true Florida katydid: A bright green insect that looks like a leaf with six thin legs and two long, thin antennae. It stands over a gap between two concrete pads in my driveway, hunting for ants.
Basketball lineup featuring 00s Gary Payton at point guard, 80s David Thompson at shooting guard, 00s Tracy McGrady at small forward, 60s Bob Pettit at power forward, and modern-day Nikola Jokić at center projected to go 75-7 in an 82-gamevNBA season.
A space station with titles in the font style of Star Trek: Deep Space 9. The title says, “Gold-Pressed Latinum Is A Feren-Girl’s Best Friend.”
A light blue background with text: SOLVED Apr 16th 2026 Under 16 minutes. Four black and white squares: square 1 is a detective holding a magnifying glass labeled Clues by Sam. Square 2 is a make figure with two white lines below it. Square 3 is a female figure with the quote, “One innocent isn’t afraid of confrontation.” Square 4 is a 4 by 5 grid of white checkmarks in black boxes.
Artemis II capsule, Integrity, splashes down in the Pacific Ocean.
A Cuban treefrog perched on a security light at the corner of my house. In case you were wondering, his name is Pete, and he goes “Chick-chick-a-boom, chick-chick-a-boom, chick-chick-a-boom.”
An armadillo digging for food in the tall grass in my side yard. Years earlier, a different armadillo lived on the property for many years. My wife called that one Ansel Adamsdillo.
A mated pair of sandhill cranes and their chick, grazing for food in my front yard. The three visited our yard frequently during 2020. Watching their chick grow up was one of the highlights of that terrible year.
An angry Samuel L. Jackson shouts, “I’ve had it with these BLEEP medical inaccuracies in this BLEEP film. It’s a parody of his line from the movie, “Snakes On A Plane.” To wit: “I’ve had it with these BLEEP snakes on this BLEEP plane,” where one can substitute the BLEEP for a standard Sam Jackson character’s favorite 13-character epithet, one which stars with an M and ends with an apostrophe.
A parody of the poster art for Dune, showing Paul Atreides and Chanukah, wearing stillsuits in front of a rising sun. The text above them reads, “Serena Butler was right.”
A middle-aged man pretending to be a teenager and not fooling anyone. It’s a classic meme starring Steve Buscemi. I’ve changed the caption from “How do you do, fellow kids?” to “How do you do, fellow AI haters?”
A hawk looks around my front yard, shortly before flying back up to its nest in the oak tree there. I believe this is a sharp-shinned hawk, though it may be a Cooper’s hawk.
A small white bird with scarlet legs and a long, thin scarlet beak (White Ibis) walks across the grass at the edge of my driveway, looking for food.
Three honey bees buzzing through the petals of a white magnolia blossom.
A small brown and orange striped snake (Eastern rat snake) coiled around an electrical junction box along a brick wall on the side of my house.
Two big yellow and black grasshoppers (Eastern Lubbers) getting it on against my garage door. Get a room, you two!
A black snake partially curled with its head raised, between a garden hose and our closed garage door. This is a black racer who lives in our side yard and makes his/her way over toward our garage on cold days to absorb heat from the driveway. I’ve almost stepped on it by mistake more than once!
A field wolf spider (Hogna lenta) carrying dozens of young on her back as she walked across our driveway one night. The stuff of nightmares, if you suffer with arachnophobia.
Wild Turkey flaps its wings just outside Dr. Pete’s screen enclosure, right behind some pool toys. I believe it’s a Florida Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo osceola) based on our home’s location on the Florida’s peninsula, though it could be an Eastern Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris).
Two men wearing short-sleeved dress shirts and ties giving a press conference standing at a podium in front of a NASA logo. One man says, “America can, should, must, and will raise sea levels 150 meters to get a backup Straight of Hormuz.” The text box has been obviously edited - the original caption said, “American can, should, must, and will blow up the moon.” The photo is an image from the TV show Mr. Show, starring David Cross and Bob Odenkirk (pictured). In this satirical sketch, NASA scientists vow to blow up the moon. It’s a crazy idea, but it makes more sense than raising sea levels by 150 meters. To be honest, blowing up the moon makes more sense than just about every idea to come out of the White House since January 20, 2025.
A young man in military fatigues, holding an armful of stuffed animals, says, “These are my awards, mother. From the Trump administration.”
Comic panel drawn by Hugo Pratt. Corto Maltese, an early 20th century, stands in a courtroom with two of his colleagues. He replies to a corrupt judge, “If I have to choose between an unpunished crime and ‘Justice,’ like yours, I’d pick the first one!”
Handwashing poster set to the lyrics of “It’s A Long Way To The Top” by AC/DC.
The Sickos meme guy done like an 18th century French aristocrat. His dress coat says “Pervers” instead of “Sickos” and he says, “Oui…hon hon hon…Oui!”
A cartoon black cat pushes a GOP elephant logo with a blond wig off the table.
A gold crown with the red “no” symbol superimposed.
A black cat peeks through a hole in a black storage box, then swipes his paw directly at the observer through the same hole.
Two sun dogs (parhelia) appear on either side of a setting sun over the water.
A black T-shirt with a low-resolution green image of an ox pulling a covered wagon. Text reads, “You listened to RFK Jr.” This is an homage to the 1980s video game, “The Oregon Trail,” which tried to simulate being an 1800s settler and often ended with a screen like this image which said, “You have died of dysentery.”
