This is the view outside my office window:
And this is the view inside:
I did get some R & R in over the weekend. I also got a start on my Christmas shopping, although it wasn’t much of a start. Baby steps, though, right? I was able to get a couple of 2-foot fake trees for [...]

Yep. It’s one of those days. I took Tanner outside for a walk at lunchtime, and even he was ready to come back inside.
I’m trying to sort out how to handle my Thanksgiving day weekend. I’ve been invited for dinner by some dear friends (who will let me bring something! ), so the [...]

I’ve got this song running through my head – it’s not an unpleasant thing, but I would really like to change the record!

So far, so good. The work is getting done, although the time sheets are somewhat behind. The house is… not “clean” exactly, but not the aftermath of a tornado, either. The water is off for the outside spigot, so that the pipes don’t freeze and burst. We’ve had snow two or three times since November [...]

OK, probably not that serious, because it is, after all, the same cow. But. I picked up the stuffing and left the now-silent cow for Tanner to play with, since it is his toy. Last night, again, he started pulling the stuffing out of the poor little thing!
I don’t know why he kept pulling the [...]

Yes, it was brutal. The evidence is clear….
There had been an attack. The poor cow hadn’t a chance in the world…. but wait. Is that…?
…He came back to survey his work!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it’s Tanner, the cattle killer!
Why? Why such devastation? Look closely at his mouth: it’s the moo-er from the cow!!
Anyway, [...]

I think I finally figured out what’s been going on lately. Withdrawal. Specifically, hug withdrawal.
Seriously. I know. I will wait until you stop laughing, but it’s true. Here, check it out. (It’s on the Internet, so it must be true, right?)
We need 12 (healthy/safe) hugs a day for growth, 8 hugs a day for maintenance, and [...]

I’m declaring this an “Obama-free” zone – at least for a while. I still cannot get over how so many smart and well-intentioned people were willing to take a risk on what was behind door #2, even after information began to seep through the wrapping on what we would be in for. “Drinking the Kool-Aid” [...]

This was in my email inbox this afternoon. It’s a great read, although it is PG 17 (language), and it presents an interesting “outsider’s” view of the results of our most recent election.
According to the email I got, the blogger, Steven Den Beste, was one of the first post-9/11 bloggers. He was diagnosed with Multiple [...]

I woke up this morning to this:
How cool is that! November 10, first snow.
Of course, the sad reality of snow is that I will have to clean off my car every morning, since (as you can see) I have no garage…. (Sigh!)
Don’t care! I will take the snow any day – [...]
