April In Manhattan

Is it April already? The months keep slipping away . . . just a month ago it felt like March. Whatever. It’s April, and I am sitting around in my boxers in a hotel overlooking the World Trade Pit. What a life. Earlier today it was still April, but at least I wore pants. Had […]

Wal-Mart Wins

I give up . . . Wal-Mart wins. Sure, they’re supposedly evil, but up here, they’re the only store selling local dairy products, fresh produce and organic produce. Yes, there are other stores that sell fresh produce, some that sell organic, but none so far that sell local dairy, and other than Wal-Mart, none that […]

I wasn’t ignoring you

You thought I forgot you, didn’t you? No, I haven’t forgotten you. I think about you every day, actually. Usually just before falling asleep. As my mind wanders, the nightmares set in and I think “Oh crap, my reader must be lost without me!” So no, I haven’t forgotten you. I also did not mean […]

Time To Work

Lousy night’s sleep last night. I kept waking up and passed the time watching the temperature drop. The lowest was 18f. Tonight we’re supposed to get -20f with wind chill . . . maybe it’s time to move the rabbit in from the garage. I don’t think Mr. BunBuns wants to be a bunsicle. Wow. […]

CIA Quiz

Yay! According to the CIA, I am a daring thrill-seeker! Must’ve been the horse and buggy ride. I was so hoping for thoughtful observer. Related Images:

Sensing A Theme

Grey, grey day. There are five leaves on the one tree I see, none on the next, and one on the last. It’s cold, dark and grey. It snowed again last night, but we also had a pretty heavy windstorm, so it all blew away. Grey, grey, grey. I don’t want to work today, just […]

White

Spring tried to sneak back in over this past week, but it is gone again, as is Fall. Several days of balmy 60f weather and plenty of rain confused the poor shrubbery as well as me. Winter is here, and I don’t care if it is official or not. Those big ol’ fat snowflakes swirling […]

Oh Crap

I installed a new toilet today. Oh what fun! Nothing quite like getting splashed with vintage toilet-leavings and rediscovering the, er, unique construction habits of the builder (and previous owner) of my home. Why leave a two inch gap between the drain and the floor? Did he LIKE having sewage gases venting into the space […]

Owls

Well, this can’t be good. A pair of Great Horned Owls (GHO) have been nesting in our back yard. One of them ended up getting sick a few months ago and after a day of just sitting in a tree looking ill, it fell to the ground. While there’s nothing quite as exciting as getting […]
