  daily drivel, My Darling B, O’Folks, random idiocy

  A fender washer is a circle of steel about the size of a half-dollar with a smallish hole in the middle. I had one in my collection. I needed four, so I pocketed the one as I got ready to jump into the O-mobile to head down the road so I could save big money… Read.

  Bonkers, O’Folks

  The cats got junk food last night. They were sooo happy. I usually buy cat food at Mad Cat or at the co-op where I can get cat food made from meat and not that crappy cereal that gets dressed up and sold as gourmet cat food. Cats are made to eat meat, not cereal.… Read.

  Bonkers, Boo, O’Folks

  Bonkers is curled up for a nap on the sofa. Boo is, too, but she’s not as easy to see. Not at first, anyway. Read.

  Bonkers, Boo, O’Folks

  Not sure what this proves: Our cats figured out somehow that I’m the one who feeds them. They jump on my head to wake me up in the morning. They follow me around the kitchen when they’re hungry. Yet, even though they’re smart enough to figure that out, they haven’t twigged to the fact that… Read.

  Bonkers, Boo, daily drivel, O’Folks, random idiocy

  The cats came so close to realizing their nefarious plan. For weeks, they’ve been waking me up a little earlier each day by standing at the foot of our bed mewling, or jumping on my head, and I’ve been obliging them by getting up and feeding them, thinking that with a little food in their… Read.

  Bonkers was – it’s another post about my cat, folks. Spare yourselves. Turn the channel now. (Does anybody still say “turn the channel” anymore? I haven’t been paying attention. It used to make sense when there was a dial on the front of the television that you had to grab and twist, but even though… Read.

  I just wanted to note here that we did not drink beer tonight. Rocks your world, I know, but we needed a night off from Madison Craft Beer Week to recharge our batteries and get ready for the weekend. We’re not spring chickens any more, y’know. My Darling B commanded grilled ham & cheese sandwiches… Read.

  B’s been waiting fourteen weeks for this glass of beer. Says it was worth the wait. Read.

  Oh my, I have sooo many carbs to burn off after last night’s fish fry. We joined the kickoff of Madison Craft Beer Week by meeting a couple of friends at Quivey’s Grove to swap stories over a Friday night fish fry and a couple glasses of Common Thread Biere de Garde, which is French… Read.

  Bonkers, O’Folks

  Bonkers got a bath last night. We don’t usually bathe The Bonk – actually, we have historically avoided bathing either of the cats. We’ve bathed Bonk twice before, if memory serves, and I’m pretty sure we’ve never bathed Boo. I feel confident in saying that she would not allow it. But The Bonk needed bathing.… Read.
