WTF Wednesday: Why Did Kate Hijack My Life?
Look, I understand about coincidences. Common interests. I’ve even accused someone of stealing my life before. But that was the life I was going to live, if all had gone well. Not the one I’m actually living. But Kate over … Continue reading

WWJGD: What Would Jane Goodall Do?
I know, everyone has an opinion on the child-falling-into-gorilla-pen drama, but of course mine is the most important, and hopefully, the most entertaining. First of all, gorillas on display in a pen at a zoo. Not good. Not good for … Continue reading
Let’s Not Call It A Bucket List
You should check out my fellow blogger over at Retirementally Challenged, who recently blogged a sort of bucket/life inventory list along with her answers. I don’t like the whole bucket list thing because I don’t like the bucket. I mean, … Continue reading

What The World Needs Now: Another Adorable Cat Story
I feel like I’ve been overdoing the cat blogs lately, but then again with four cats I’m overdoing the whole cat thing, so I guess it follows suit. We’ve not had a TV in our room for a couple of … Continue reading
B.F. Skinner Surely Never Tested Cats
As I’ve shared, we’ve been dealing with kitty dental drama. Helen accidentally lost a tooth, we had the vet pull a bunch of Chrissy’s teeth. It’s not good. At her most recent check-up we learned that Helen is developing a … Continue reading
To Chew Or Not To Chew: That Is The Question
Kitty dental drama. I mentioned before that Helen lost a tooth somewhere along the way, all on her own. Then it turns out that poor Chrissy’s teeth are rotting out of her head, and she has to have major oral … Continue reading
Cruise Stories: Part 2 Of Possibly A Lot More
I’m not sure how many blog posts I’m going to milk out of the cruise, but there is much to be told. Cruising reminded me a lot of summer camp. There are Activities Staff all over the place and a … Continue reading

Tricky Tuesday: A Day For Groundhogs And Assorted Animals
The two big events of the week, the Iowa caucuses and Groundhog Day, have me thinking. It’s sort of a Freaky Friday kind of thing, where everything is switched up and it’s hard to distinguish the top GOP candidates from … Continue reading
Stand By For Adorable Cat Post
As I have mentioned before, ad nauseum, we have four cats: Jack, Janet, Chrissy and Mrs. Helen Roper, who just goes by Helen other than in very formal settings. And now I realize it’s just been ages since I wrote about Cat … Continue reading
