Kelly and I canât quite understand how and why the 1972 Sonny & Cher Christmas Special has William Conrad as the featured guest. Merry Christmas to us all and our atemporal world!

Cultures and religions across the world, have different definitions of adulthood, landmarks, sacraments, traditionsâbut few acknowledge obtaining and maintaining a moving dolly (e.g. checking the air pressure in the tyres; and filling them) as a signifier of maturity. Pastors, Rabbis, Priests, get to work on that. Itâs important.

The verdict from my wonderful girlfriend at the end of yesterday, said with utmost love and affection: âJoe, you have a lot of stuffââno truer words âtwas ever spake. Mostly moved. Itâs wonderful.

Iâm moving. Some parts of the English speaking world say âmoving house.â What do I watch or listen to when moving house? So far: Moneyball. My Dinner With Andre. Also thereâs a little weeping because moving house is emotional and somewhere in my 40s I abandoned stoicism because itâs mostly overrated.

Next week I will do something I have not done in 11 years. Iâm moving. I will not be alone, I will be moving in with Kelly and Gwen! Itâs going to mean a lot of things: Iâm not much further from the beach, the toy robots will have more room, and Iâll be on the Green line. 2023 might be great. I am very lucky!

New Bot Day! B2EMO is a hard working scavenger droid and a trusted part of the Andor family. And every day is a good day to quote Maarva Andor, who relied on Bee especially as she took sick. From her own eulogy: âThe Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness, it is never more alive than when we asleep. It’s easy for the dead to tell you to fight, and maybe it’s true, maybe fighting is useless. Perhaps it’s too late. But I’ll tell you this, if I could do it again, I’d wake up early and be fighting those bastards from the start!â

Conditions before the storm: plenty chilly; wind rising; some good waves; better, maybe, for kiteboarders.

This photo is from when Kelly and I had been dating for 2 months, when things wereâcomplicated. I could not post this photo then. Five years later? I am delighted to. What a happy night at the Liberty Station tree lighting! May your holidays be as happy!

Bodysurfed at Del Mar with a bunch of other bodysurfers. Weird but very pleasant to be in a lineup with only other bodysurfers. So much skill on display. Iâve learned a lot; I have a lot to learn.

I took the day off today and it was a chance to introspect my feelings, fears, angers. Knowing precisely or at least closely how I feel is always step 1 of sorting out what to do next. Also scored sweet shells. And I always consider dolphin sightings an auspicious omen. Despite my rational brain rejecting that as, of course, ridiculous. Onward.

New Bot Day! Jet Jaguar (ă¸ă§ăăă¸ăŁăŹăź) is from Godzilla vs Megalon (1973). Jet is a mecha created based on a fan contest by Toho to create a new hero. Mazinger and Ultraman were popular at the time! This robot has evolved, gained sentience, and is friendly. This is the Cherry Blossom edition, a 2022 San Diego Comic Con MONDO special edition my pal Andrea scored for me. Long time no bot!
