That’s All Folks! For Now…
Well folks, it’s been almost two years that I have been faithfully blogging about nonsense. It’s fun and I enjoy it, and I especially enjoy all the other bloggers I’ve connected with out there in the blogosphere. You may have … Continue reading
Cat Evolution: Dumb And Dumber
You won’t ever hear me claim that cats are the smartest of beasts, but all the cats I’ve had before the current batch were reasonably clever. They could figure out how to open dresser drawers and kitchen cabinets, and they … Continue reading

You know you’re always first in my heart…but yes, I’ve been blogging on another site. Didn’t we agree to an open relationship? I’ve done a little guest blog for CaringBridge. This is part 2 of a 3 part series. Worry … Continue reading

Well you know I’m just not happy unless I have a Medical Mystery to unravel. I started getting congested back in January. I’m still congested. It’s all in my throat; I feel like I have to clear it all the … Continue reading

I went shopping. Live and in person. I didn’t mean to, it’s just that I was meeting my friend for lunch and we happened to be meeting at a restaurant in a mall and…it just happened OK? Maybe if Talbot’s … Continue reading
Hot And Bothered Deep In The Heart Of Texas
Vanessa Foster, fellow blogger and author of the extraordinary book More Than Everything, asked me recently what I’ve got against Texas. For the record, it’s not that I have something specifically against Texas, it’s just not my kind of place. … Continue reading
This Just In: No Diving Into The Cesspool
Well, here’s another news story that captured my attention. Typically when I say “I’m in deep doo-doo” it’s figurative, not a factual account of a day in my life. For these poor folks, well, I think they should have let … Continue reading
