Went home early last Thursday after another grueling morning of toil at The Paragraph Factory which involved various combinations of the 26 letters of the alphabet.
Walked in the door and proudly proclaimed to The Other Half: “I’m normal.” The initial response may have been a barely perceptible...
Thought you folks might want an update on how Bob has been helping out yours truly during some of my work at home adventures...
Bob, as you may recall, is one of our two cats. Bob, in a word, or two, has a lot of personality. Our understanding is that he is a barn cat who was born in Alto Pass. Bob...
Lions...and tigers...and bears...
Didn’t see any of those critters during the past week. Did see some young turtles...and a young snake...and some “Jesus bugs” of undetermined age.
To tell you the truth, I had not heard of “Jesus bugs” until last Saturday evening. That was when The Other Half and...
It would be kind of tough these days to not have any friends. That’s why I visited with Bearnard one day last week.
We’ll get back to Bearnard in just a bit...if you’ll bear with me, I wanted to share a “feel good” story I ran across one day recently on the internet. Once, since it was on the...
Thank goodness for the little things...and some of the big things, too...

This week, a bird, bird, bird is the word...because, well, everybody knows that the bird is the word...
...sorry...just thought you might like to see some photographs of birds I’ve seen while out wandering around during the past couple of weeks...
Meanwhile...
...as if there wasn’t already enough...
Just a bit of a note to start this week...to the driver of the pickup truck who passed a school bus which had stopped to deliver meals...that’s all...
My buddy Bob continues to very helpful while I am doing some of the work at home stuff. Bob, as you may recall, is one of our cats. One day last...
This week, how about a challenge for all you song writers out there?
