Bad Joints
Bonkers the cat was at the clinic all day today. He started acting funny last night after dinner, keeping to himself and favoring his left rear leg on the few occasions when he got up to walk a few steps across the floor. Otherwise he mostly sat or sprawled in an out of the way… Read.

Up
I didn’t intend to spend all afternoon painting the house but somehow that’s what I ended up doing. It started with the gable over the garage roof. I’ve let that go for quite a while, under pretense of various excuses too ridiculous to try to explain, but because it’s already the third week in September… Read.

A guy walks into a bar with a cat on his head …
How the hell do you keep cats off your head when you sleep at night? I’m desperately serious. Some people have bedbugs, we have cats. Now that I think of it, we got them almost the same way you get bedbugs: We brought them home with us in a valise. The difference was that we… Read.

We All Have Our Hobbies
My Darling B took the day off from work today to spend it at the annual quilting expo that comes to the convention center. She was there when the doors opened at eight and didn’t come home until almost two o’clock this afternoon. She was exhausted. The place was jammed with silver-haired women who spent… Read.

Employable after all
Yesterday I got the phone call I’ve been hoping for: A manager at the Department of Regulation and Licensing called to offer me the job I applied for in her section. When I interviewed for it a week and a half ago she told me they’d make a decision some time this week, so I’ve… Read.

Still Wondering …
I wouldn’t just like to know the argument that disproves atheism, I would love to know it, and not because I consider myself an atheist. That term would imply a knowledge of theism that I don’t possess. I’d still love to hear the argument, though, so I clicked the Facebook link I found this morning… Read.

Honeydew
Day after Labor Day, back to the grindstone. Oh, wait. I’m still on seven-day weekends. Never mind. Or not. I’ve still got some yard work to do before the snow flies, and from the way the weather’s been acting that’s probably going to be at about noon on Thursday. I’ve pledged that I will finish… Read.

We’re back from a week off, more or less, spent at a cabin on the Chain O’ Lakes in beautiful Waupaca County. If you’ve never been to the Chain O’ Lakes, you need to go, right now. Put down what you’re doing and go. I mean it. It’s the off-season and you can put a… Read.

You May Be Driving A Junker If …
Whenever we’re driving hither and yon, whether it’s just across town or from one end of our great state to another, My Darling B and I play a version of road bingo to help pass the time. Our game doesn’t really have a name, but if I had to give it one I suppose it… Read.

Paddling
I take back all the bad things I said about kayaks. The last time I paddled a kayak, I was wedged tightly into the rear seat of a tandem where I spent several excruciatingly painful hours before unwedging myself and swearing I’d never get into a kayak ever again. The cockpit was narrow, the stirrups… Read.
