Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
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 →
After a two days of clearing snow, this weekend snuck up on me. Oh well, I made it to the bar, and David and I are facing our nemesis as we try to deal with Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘key.’ Use it... Continue Reading →
Doesn’t that sound nice? I started thinking about this last week while attending our company’s Annual Meeting in Florida. No, not the beach, not a walk along the Gulf shore.

Don’t get me wrong, I love longer days and I love sunshine and I am one of the two people responsible for that crazy redhead, Maddie who loves... Continue Reading →
In anticipation of a very busy weekend, I planned to share some pictures today. I took these on one of the few sunny walks I’ve had with Maddie this year. 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 →
I appreciate that you stuck with me for six-days-in-a-row of blog posts last week. Two extraordinary posts filled in the normal respite from my blather. Both posts were for good causes but I do worry about overdoing it – I wouldn’t want my editor to go on strike (or ask for a raise). So this... Continue Reading →
About a month ago, I was complaining about Daylight Saving Time, as I am wont to do every year. My upset was with the fact that I was losing the daylight that had just begun to accompany me on my morning commute. I am not one to hold a grudge, and I do have a... Continue Reading →
