Oookay. three hours of sleep is not nearly enough. I stayed up late last night/this morning surfing the ‘net (much dryer, and doesn’t require a wet suit, although I’m sure there are sites that would encourage their use. And a webcam. And a donkey.), taking advantage of my absent wife. Or, more precisely, my wife’s […]
It’s been a long day (any day where I put in more than an hour of work is a long day, right?). I think I’ll go toss a football at my son for a bit and then see if I’ve managed to avoid having to set the table. It’s good to have a plan in […]
The fish refuses to die, but it looks like we’ll be losing a dog soon. It’s sad, but since our big dog refuses to quit trying to eat the small dog, I think it is time to find a no-kill shelter for her. Damn. So far, she’s cost us just over a thousand dollars for […]
It’s hard to do right when you’re married to someone so wrong. I’ve tried weaning her off the habit, tried making her go cold-turkey, tried shaming her, but nothing has worked. Yes, my wife shops at Wal-Mart. Why Wal-Mart? Because it is close, and because the things she wants are cheap there (and unlike the […]
It’s been a rough month or so in the pet world. First, there was the small dog playing chew-toy for the brute-dog, which resulted in a broken jaw, lost teeth and a massive vet bill. Now it looks like the blue gouramis have reached their final moments. I know I shouldn’t have housed two males […]
We had to put our old dog to sleep today. Not the most fun to be had on a Tuesday morning, but it beats continuing to watch her fade away. She couldn’t stand, couldn’t walk, had to be placed in front of her food bowl to eat and had no control over her bowels. The […]
The sky is grey, the ground white. This is probably no longer news; the coming of spring will be my next real weather news. Still, it’s fun to watch the snow falling down and the kids trying to gather the tennis balls frozen to the surface of the pool. With all the ice and snow, […]
Yay! Another snow day! After this, I may have to give up on reporting snow. Much too common now. It didn’t stick this time, but that’s probably because it was pretty wet from everything that melted on Saturday. That, and it was pretty warm (got all the way up to the mid forties). Several places […]
We had our second snowfall of the season last night. This time, it stuck around for a bit, not melting until noon. It was ice by the time we got up, and only about a quarter inch thick, but that was good enough for the kids. They raced for boots, jackets and sleds, and were […]
I’ve decided my shop-bun needs an outfit. If he’s going to follow me around as I do my woodworking, then he needs a little apron and some mini tools. Does anybody know where I can get some rabbit-sized costumes? Related Images:
