Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
If we were having a beer, you would find it impossible to not go there… “Can I assume from previous years that you won’t be making any resolutions?” “Yes. Can I assume that knowing that will allow us to move on to other subjects?” “I’m afraid not.” “You boys aren’t going to start this debate... Continue Reading →
Norm has given us a couple of weeks off, which is good, given that the temperature when I left for work today was 6°f (-14°c) – not exactly doorscurrsion weather. I thought about how to fill the gap, and I decided that we should all get a day off. I’m working all week,... Continue Reading →
The only thing better than the snow on Christmas was the fact that Faith came to visit Maddie (Maddie is sure that was the reason). Before Faith arrived, I was out with the crazy redheaded pup, and she simply didn’t want to come in. It brought to mind a line from Caddyshack: “I don’t think... Continue Reading →
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a world filled with the true Christmas spirit. If you don’t celebrate Christmas, I hope you are enjoying the holidays. I’m giving myself (and you) the day off.

You would think that I would have run out of cute squirrel pictures by now. You would think that no future squirrel pictures would be compelling enough to command one of the four blog spots I have each week. You would think these guys couldn’t get any bolder, more demanding and you would certainly think... Continue Reading →
I was going to write a short post about how busy this weekend has been, but that sounds like a complaint, and there’s nothing to complain about. Well, there is one thing to complain about, but I’ve already done that, so I won’t bring it in here. The things that took my time this weekend... Continue Reading →
If we were having a beer, you’d be angry. “She’s not here.” “Hello to you, too. Who’s not here?” “Cheryl, she’s not here. I saw Skippy in the lounge.” “His name is Brad.” “I don’t care, I don’t like him.” “Calling him Skippy probably doesn’t help.” “Hey there guys. What can I get for you?”... Continue Reading →
