Dire consequences will most definitely befall me (like, procrastinating and staying up tonight through several adrenaline rushes and destroying any possibility of a good night’s sleep) if I don’t take care of the piles of crap crowding my desk, so thusly, I offer brevity in my listing today. Observations:
1. One of my dogs [...]

When I heard my friend’s voice, on his cell phone from Montreal, I smiled. I’d missed him and was so pleased he’d called after being essentially MIA for two years.
“O’ Mama,” He said, “I have something I need to tell you.”
Rich and [...]

In a fit of unusual spontaneity, my darling curled spouse, our dear friend Woody and I left the kitchen table to attempt to make the opening night (last night) of the Simpson’s Movie.

Twelve cars idled ahead of us; plates from all the NE states and a variety of Canadian provinces give us something to look at. Anticipating declaring the [...]

1. Is it prudent to attempt to vacuum my dog? Of course only ONE of them is shedding at the moment; the amount of hair coming off that dog is staggering. Anyone want me to knit them a pooch?

I borrowed this (with gratitude) from Tense Teacher, Queen of Memes, as it seems like the perfect thing to start off the week.
1. You wake up in the morning. What time is it, probably?
Around 7, at least for the summer. Bob think he can enslave time, so his clock radio is set ten [...]

My poor garden is under an assault the likes of which I have never seen. In all the years we have been gardening, the deer have periodically visited but not to the degree of wiping out the garden like they have this year. Last night, we came home to a large buck dining impudently [...]
