One of those where every little thing goes awry (although most of the bigger ones went okay), including Ms. Dog leaping against orders into the front seat after her run in the dog park, thereby smearing gooey wet mud all over my car seat and causing me to have to run the rest of my […]
On my knee, that is, not under my caboose. It was doing pretty well until this afternoon, when a husky and a huge golden retriever decided at the end of a 50-yard acceleration to low-tackle me . . . on the damaged knee. :shrugs: Oh, well, I’m sure I didn’t want to do anything but […]
I can’t remember the last time I felt so happy to see the back of someone! I both cheered and booed as the shrub boarded his plane outta DC, and I’m sure I wasn’t alone. Hallelujah! Good riddance! And thank goodness it happened without troops!
The only thing I wish is that he and his […]
Gotta re-think my supposedly karmically beneficial contributions to the wildlife, I guess. Went out yesterday morning to put out their daily sunseeds. One second I was walking across the deck; a nanosecond later, I was lying on my ass with sunseeds scattered all around me. Turned out the deck was slathered with a thick layer […]
I got to try out my new exercise bike this afternoon (finally, after passing the sore-throat-and-fever stage) and it is awesome. Got a really tough workout with no pain whatsoever—perhaps this is a concept that will catch on.
Current state of affairs has me trying to train Ms. Dog to lick a substitute rather than her […]
Children and sensitive individuals may not wish to view this extremely graphic image, which portrays some (we think more than one, at least) maimed and deceased Botts’ dots who lost their lives as well as various bits and pieces during recent severe winter storms. Said storms prevented our acquiring any images sooner, and we apologize […]
Here’s what happens when a person gets snowed in for way too long. It’s longer than it looks; the critter inside it is too short, but I didn’t have anything else to hold it up and couldn’t wear it because (ahem) I require Coke bottle bottoms to see. The hat goes all the way down […]
This is a great movie; I’d give it four and a half of five stars, no sweat. Well worth seeing. Excellent characterizations, excellent acting (as if you’ll ever get anything less with Meryl Streep), wonderful cinematography, strong pacing, strong editing. Only problem was that the sound cut out in a pivotal scene, so my friend […]
This is AWESOME! I can’t decide which to do first!
