    Organism - Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynolds I've started a new evening ritual: I leave all my technology inside except my Walkman, and I get into the hammock in the back yard and listen to an album from start to finish. My cat has been curious about this new habit, and I've been trying to coax him into the hammock – - 12:38 PM · 23 Jun 20 · Tweetbot for iOS

    Beard - Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynol... · 11h Replying to @aaronreynolds Tonight was some Rolling Stones – I've never really given them a fair shake, so I'm working through the Stones in Mono box set – and like clockwork, my big grey lump of a cat shows up.

At this point I should let you know that my backyard is very dark and I don't see well. 2 27 26 1,269 Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynol.. · 11h v I have just invited a raccoon into the hammock with me and the raccoon has obliged.

Like, "you invited me up here, now what" Now what indeed 14 27 38 2,256 Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynol.. · 11h v So I very slowly put one foot down and then the other on either side of the hammock and slowly try to stand up. I'm maintaining eye contact with the raccoon as if my life depends on it. 3 27 10 ♡ 1,272 Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynol.. · 11h Here is my second miscalculation of the evening: as I take my weight

    Font - Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynol... · 11h v Replying to @aaronreynolds I chuckle a little. The raccoon doesn't like this noise. Or he doesn't like the sliding, or both. He tries to turn around and climb back to his end of the hammock but instead now I'm straddling the raccoon like I'm playing horsey with it. 4 27 11 ♡ 1,312 Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynol.. · 11h I shout something, maybe "Christ"?
