Cactus on the rocks, Red Rocks State Park near Sedona, AZ. 16 Feb. 2026.

If you like spectacular red rock formations everywhere you turn, then Sedona, Arizona is for you. We spent six days in Sedona last week, taking in the scenery, but also remnants of ancient indigenous cultures …

And witnessing spiritual experiences by today’s indigenous inhabitants …

In Summary: * Listening now to the Spurs Countdown Show ahead of tonight's game. High point of my day was waking up and finding that my vision had returned to normal. Well.. my normal, anyway. As it was yesterday before receiving the intravitreal injections in my eyes. Man, it took the rest of yesterday, after the shots, to recover from them. But I slept very well last night, woke in a good mood, and have enjoyed a quiet, restful Saturday. Looking forward to enjoying the Spurs game tonight, then retiring to another good night's sleep.

Prayers, etc.: * I have a daily prayer regimen I try to follow throughout the day from early morning, as soon as I roll out of bed, until head hits pillow at night. Details of that regimen are linked to my link tree, which is linked to my profile page here.

Starting Ash Wednesday, 2026, I'll be adding this daily prayer as part of the Prayer Crusade Preceding SSPX Episcopal Consecrations.

I don’t want to sleep so I am listening to some music 16 horsepower and I hear also the little small black dog, snoring surprisingly loudly, for he is — like I said — very small

But his heart is bigger than the whole house

And the orange dog is resting quietly by my side. She is breathing too: I feel her chest rising and falling under my palm.

She is my favourite

These two dogs have been type of guides, because they have been leading the way out of a darkness into the warmth of spring, so to speak.

Their unrelenting love and care has been of great help.

And now I don’t want to fall asleep because I don’t want this day to end

But it will.

My friend he sent me this song “We Don’t Talk” by Hilary Duff, because she (Hilary Duff, not my friend) also has no contact with her own sister, so this song — of course — struck a chord in me.

Presumably Hilary Duff’s sister is jealous that she’s known only as Hilary Duff’s sister, rather than by her own birth name.

And I have a similar situation where I’ve only ever been happy for my sister’s prosperity, but she’s apparently always been jealous of mine

And me, I am successful (just like Hilary Duff)

But at least now I know

It’s better to know

I think

I signed the offer from Sh without any negotations, and with the hourly rate I initially offered, hooray! I celebrated by eating out I got a nice run in the rain afterwards.
