~Tuesday~ It’s been a while since I’ve made a public posting, so here’s a little “potpourri” one. I’m here to tell you that the use of the word always in the message on that bag is hyperbole. Witness this weekend, when I grabbed one such bag to use as a “mutt mitt” while walking Frances … Read more
~Sunday! This weekend while sitting for Frances and Vincent at Bob’s, I tried, for the second time, to watch his DVD copy of Barbra Streisand’s The Owl and the Pussycat, without luck. For the second time in as many tries, it got to a certain (albeit, different each time) place and just froze up. I … Read more

Evidently the … Read more
~Tuesday~ June’s Challenge Entry | All Challenge Entries | August’s Challenge Entry “7/12ths done,” “5/12ths to go,” or “Over the hump”—however you want to say it, I’m more done—than not—toward my goal to walk for at least 30 minutes every day in 2012. It’s been another month not without its challenges, including one day … Read more
~Tuesday~ Today at the gym, before starting my workout, I wanted to hear a song on my iPod that I recently downloaded, and for some inexplicable reason it was not in the “Purchased” playlist, so I selected the “By Song” sort and found it. Once it started, I decided to just let it move to … Read more
~Monday~ This weekend, I babysat (some people would call it dog-sitting, but the daddy to these kids refers to it as babysitting, and I respect that) for Vincent and Frances.
