Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
It seems all the critters around here have had babies. We’ve seen baby squirrels, baby chipmunks (too cute) all manner of baby birds and baby bunnies. It’s been hard on Maddie. We go out into the yard, her yard, and we find it occupied. Considering what she mostly uses the yard for, I think we... Continue Reading →
As is my habit lately, I am attempting to weave the bar conversation around Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. Today, Linda is letting us off our chain, as it were: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘your favourite word.’ What’s your favourite word? Write about it, base your post...

After slightly over 900 blog posts (oooh, I just heard the Editor moan), I have a ton of ideas stashed away that may never make it to virtual paper. Still, things happen that I jot down because “that would be a good way to start talking about…” Fortunately for the Editor, some of those not-ready-for-prime-time... Continue Reading →
Once again, I’m trying to adapt a story from the bar to accommodate Linda G. Hill’s twisted sense of humor and adventure. Her Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt for today is: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “letter.” Use it in your post or theme your post on any meaning of the...

When I was trying to decide which ones to upload, I noticed that I had a series, of sorts, of four different subjects. The title... Continue Reading →
So far, 2017 weather has been cold, colder, colder-still, warm, cold, warmer. This weekend was warm enough to change the yard from snow to mud and for Maddie to be able to sit without her vest on. So, that’s what we did. We also went for the first walk of 2018. And we, well I... Continue Reading →
I lived in New York City (Queens) for a little over a year, beginning in 1977. I’ve been back too many times to count, both for business and pleasure, and one thing remains true: “if you think it would make a good photo, push the button.” You might end up with a “what was he... 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 →
