cat prezzie
While putting away the various flotsam and jetsam scattered across the living room floor of Our Humble O’Bode the day after our return from a weekend at the Chain O’ Lakes, I moved an empty bag aside to find … cat puke. One of our little rascals felt the need to unload his or her… Read.

nice shorts
I was sitting on the back porch of a cabin on the Chain O’ Lakes with My Darling B on Saturday afternoon, taking in the sunshine and enjoying the good company, when six or seven people came trooping past on their way to the boat dock. The last guy in the line, wearing the most… Read.

Back Home
Back home again after spending a weekend at a cabin on the Chain O’ Lakes with Mom and the Texas O-Folk, Pete and Melissa and their family, who came up to spend a week splishing and splashing in the waters of the Chain. My Darling B had to return to Madison to work Monday and… Read.

Prezzie from Boo
Boo brought me breakfast in bed! What a good Boo! It’s not at all unusual for Boo to jump up into our bed when the alarm goes bleep in the morning so she can lay claim to the warm spot I leave behind when I get up to make coffee for My Darling B. Sometimes… Read.

Veedub tale
There’s a Volkswagen microbus parked along the curb on Midvale Avenue, the street we drive every morning when I take My Darling B to work. It’s got a fresh coat of toothpaste-green paint and For Sale a sign in the back window and each time I passed by I became even more powerfully convinced that… Read.

She did
Special day: It was on this day, twenty-one years ago, that My Darling B answered, “I do,” after the preacher asked her if she wanted to be stuck with me for the rest of her natural life. Little did she know what she was getting into. Or maybe she did, after all. I certainly like… Read.

Already?
Oy. The leaves have started to turn. Time to lament the passing of summer already. Or not. I was talking with Timbo about this last night, and he and I agree: Summer’s too hot. I like summer up until about mid-July when the temps get high enough to fry my brains if I don’t wear… Read.

Digging In
When I picked her up from work, My Darling B noticed the back seats of the car were folded down. “What were you hauling home today?” she asked. She doesn’t miss a thing. I made an early-morning visit to the local lumber yard to bring home some plywood to start Phase II of the great… Read.

Interview!
Went to my first job interview since I started my adventures in unemployment. Aced it. They want me. I’m hired. I start tomorrow morning. Kidding. It was an interview for a state job; the state doesn’t work that fast. But I wasn’t kidding about how well the interview went, at least from my point of… Read.

Gun/Phone
There are times I want to completely give up caring about political crap, like last week when the president said something along the lines of, “I’ll defend to the death your right to build a mosque, but I never said it was a good idea,” or any time Sarah Palin endorses a political candidate by… Read.
