Never A Dull Moment
We dined out twice today! First at the Dane County Farmer’s Market, because the breakfast they were serving was biscuits and gravy, and when you say “biscuits and gravy” you’re going to get a visit from My Darling B, and you’d better have a plate of hot biscuits and gravy waiting for her. She adores… Read.

Mixed Nuts
Today at the office we had a pot luck that was all snacks, the kind of snacks you’d eat while watching a football game, in honor of the super bowl. I brought mixed nuts. It’s a no-fuss snack. All I had to do was put them in a container that I could seal up so… Read.

Poke
As one of the CE (continuing education) specialists in the Office of Education and Examinations, I get phone calls all day long from people who have attended a course or weekend seminar and want to know if it would satisfy the requirements of their CE program. It always depends on the profession we’re talking about.… Read.

Attack of THE SNOWNAMI!
Here’s the obligatory snapshot of me and T-Dawg shoveling about a foot and a half of snow off the driveway. I can’t tell how much snow actually fell – probably only six or eight inches – but the driving wind heaped up drifts at least a foot and a half high of snow like cake… Read.

Snownami
This is the problem with superlatives: We’ve already had the ‘snowpocalypse’ and ‘snowmageddon.’ ‘Blizzard of 2011’ sounds so mundane. So what are we going to call this thing? I heard that a local television station is calling it ‘The Snow Beast.’ Oh, how cute. My Darling B wants to call it THE SNOWNAMI. That might… Read.

Deer Here
Okay, I’m one of those guys who posts photos of wild animals in his yard. So sue me. It’s not every night five deer wander into our Monona neighborhood and hang around for the better part of a half-hour, browsing at the grass poking through the edges of our driveway and what’s left of the… Read.

A box?
I read a bunch of web comics every morning because that’s about all the mental activity I’m good for at six in the morning, and because I like them. They’re all lined up in the lower right-hand corner under the label “Web Comics” because I need labels at six in the morning, too. When I… Read.

Beer and Cheese
Beer and cheese! They had gallons of the former and tons of the latter at the convention center yesterday afternoon, where I passed the time wandering from booth to booth with My Darling B, or passing most of the time with her, as it turned out. We got separated about midway through the afternoon and… Read.

Barely here
Well, here we are again so soon. Feels as though it’s been only two or three hours since I sat here banging on the keyboard, and Hey! It has! I have no idea how much sleep I ended up getting last night – judging from the way I feel right now, ten, maybe fifteen minutes… Read.

Urp
When I slide into a bed heavy with quilts on a cold winter night and curl up for my voyage to the land of nod, the thought that runs through my head should not be: Oh crap, am I going to have a sleepless night? Because when it is, chances are pretty good that it… Read.
