After a tiring trip (dream-wise-speaking) to Seattle, with Mogo alongside, I was induced to make some turns and re-turns without knowing why, and wound up at a big white condo building. It turned out to be occupied by Mogo’s son Brother Paul. We went in the front door and were confronted with a bed. This […]
The newsletter that comes with my bimonthly water bill included Wildlife News this time. Evidently, the coulee below my house, which extends southeast throughout the development and northwest toward who-knows-what, is home to wildlife other than the rather benign squirrels, birds, raccoons, owls, chipmunks, and assorted relatives and hangers-0n that congregate around my place.
One resident […]
Here she is, the Queen of Orchard Park. Admittedly, she wasn’t feeling very well this afternoon, but Grandma was game enough to get up and grab her crown and scepter. She’s been having lots of fun with it, and if she laughs and makes the other inmates laugh, who cares? (I think her involuntary muscle-twitch […]
O frabjous day!
Chocolate Necessities, our local chocolatier, which has killer truffles and assorted other treats featuring Callebaut and several other chocolates, has an online presence, and will ship!!!
From a friend, who saw it on a t-shirt. I want one.
VOTE FOR CTHULHU!
WHY SETTLE FOR A LESSER EVIL?
Ryan and I both have colds, and since we also both have asthma, it often takes us longer than the average to get rid of them. I called him last night and he was coughing like a foghorn, and Chris had just told me, “You sound like a breeding yak!” when I accidentally coughed at […]
Grandma was busy entertaining a good-sized audience, including the nurses’ station, with her new scepter and the squishy-urchin headbands when I left, but I had to pass this on before I fell over from astonishment.
Grandpa was one of the world’s most radical conservatives. For a good long time, he belonged to the John Birch Society, […]
Somehow, things seldom go smoothly in my world. Once I got the duct-tape KrisDi in the mail, re-shaped it as well as I could, and stuffed it with spare paper lying around the house, it sat on the back of the couch looming at the cats and dog whenever they walked by. A couple weeks […]
I don’t remember Grandma ever behaving in a foolish or childish fashion when I was growing up, so it’s really fun to watch her act silly now. She’s been wearing the squishy-urchin things (that Blue had on her collar, below) around her complex as bracelets and—get this!—headbands! The other day, I took her these:
and she’s […]
I am singularly miffed that not one of you even groaned at my “haute dogure” pun. Geez. I thought I was so clever. Please tell me I don’t have to explain it!
I actually tried to go back to sleep to finish this one, but since it was raining alligators and the critters were all making it known that They Wanted Their Breakfasts, House Ape, And Now, it didn’t work.
I was in a large classroom full of first-graders, and somehow understood that I was actually in school […]
I picked up a bunch of goofy toys at Fairhaven Pharmacy the other day to entertain Grandma. Among them were a couple of wind-up mice to let loose on the dinner table (if she won’t start a food fight, maybe she’ll scare people with mice), a battery-powered fairy wand that spins flashing LEDs and makes […]
I get up this a.m. to another blue screen of death—apparently, the stupid thing finished formatting and may even have loaded Windows, but now it says it can’t load some driver or other so it’s not going to play. I hate Micro$oft. Bill Gates is Satan. George Bush is only a henchman of Satan.
