Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Here in the US, our “motherhood and apple pie” sport is a few weeks away from making an attempt to have a season…or sorts. Baseball, yes, this is a post about sports, but I haven’t had one since April, when I briefly mentioned the NFL Draft. The reason for the “maybe” in the title is... Continue Reading →
As I’ve mentioned in previous post, I visited two restaurants last week. I also mentioned the fact that I was a little nervous about entering those restaurants. I told The Editor that I wasn’t going to go in if the places were anything close to crowded. When I was seated at the bar, I took... Continue Reading →
As many of you know, Maddie (our Irish Setter) and I have a routine. It’s Maddie’s routine – the OCDog – I’m just at the other end of the leash. The activities remain the same, but the timing is in flux. As the longer days of summer have arrived, our morning walk is beginning earlier.... Continue Reading →
We are busy doing some much-needed yard work this week. Dirt and sod have been delivered and, if things go according to plan, I will erase the perimeter ruts created by Maddie and her three predecessors. I had planned to start this project last week, but the dirt couldn’t be delivered until Monday. That gave... Continue Reading →
This is an unusual One-Liner Wednesday for me, in that I don’t think a backstory is necessary (however, staying in character, there’s a bit of an after-story). My one-liner for this week is in the photo below. Maddie and I discovered this little watering hole on our walk. If you take a look at the... Continue Reading →
Normally, my One-Liner Wednesday post would have been posted about an hour ago. I had one ready, but, on second thought, I decided it wasn’t a good fit for the times. “I wrote, I formatted, I uploaded, I scheduled…I deleted.” This post is part of Linda G. Hill’s fun weekly series One-Liner Wednesday. If you... Continue Reading →
Spring is firmly established here in Connecticut. Most blooming things are beyond their peak. Late blooming things are near their peak. We’ve had days above 70°f (21°c) and the days are nice and long. On the other hand, within the past 10 days, we had snow and hail. We have also had some very cold... Continue Reading →
It’s probably no surprise, but I’ll tell you anyway – recently, I’ve been watching Star Trek. This is not related to the pandemic, I’ve been watching Star Trek since 1966. Anyway, the episode I just finished watching is from the Original Series. The episode was “The Apple” and it’s noteworthy, if for no other... Continue Reading →
On Sunday, when I was walking Maddie, she did what dogs sometimes do while walking. Not the most delightful moment, and one we try to avoid by getting her to do that particular business in the yard before we leave. In accordance with my upbringing, a sense of civic duty and local regulations, I made... Continue Reading →
