Cool photo of Buck I took in downtown Providence.
I’ve got a lot of disjointed nothing here today, but I’ve gotten to where I like reading that kind of post, so I hope you won’t mind it from me.
Nothing new here because I’ve been sick as HELL. I tell everyone I caught this virus from Buck, but in truth we probably both contracted it on the plane coming back from New England last week. Probably picked it up in Baltimore. Whatever. At least I can walk today. Yesterday I couldn’t. Stealing Buck’s phrase, I say “I feel better, but I don’t feel good.”
I did feel well enough to watch Life On Mars last night. What a fantastic show that is. It just blows our groovy little minds. Unfortunately it’s gone until January 28 (why they hell do the TV bastids do that?), but you can still watch all the episodes online.
Here’s another photo from Providence a couple weeks ago, me and Max. I don’t remember what Buck said to make us laugh, but it must have made Buck laugh too because the shot is out of focus. Or maybe he really aiming for the capital building.
While in Boston, I bought Sydney a pirate suit. He loves it, wears it all the time now. Even the hat. Now he can finally stage that production of Pirates of Penzance he’s been talking about for years.
And below is a photo of my sister and some horse she’s been riding. Like a lot of people facing adversity right now, JoAnn has been feeling pretty overwhelmed, but she’s decided to remain positive and has taken a huge step towards returning to her roots by going back to something she loved as a child and teenager, horseback riding. Our dad had horses, and JoAnn and he rode together all the time. (As for me, I’m afraid of them. Horses, not my dad and sister.) She’s moved away from the only town in Massachusetts she’s ever lived in and is starting a new life in Pennsylvania. I give her a lot of credit for this, because such an undertaking can be terrifying. But she’s doing really well and I’m proud of her. The only thing I hate…and I hate it…is that she’s ten years older than me yet people always ask which of us is older. It’s her, goddamnit, her.
And that’s it. I’ll try and go out this weekend so I have something to blog about.
I hope you continue feeling better, until you feel great!
I like posts like this one, too.
I hope you feel better. I love that shoe “Life On Mars”. I didn’t know I had to wait until January to see it again. That sucks. Good for your sister. I would be afraid to move anywhere by myself. The same thing happens with me and Sister B. She looks so damn young but I forgive her. She can’t help it. But when I finish losing weight and get rid of the gray I’m going to give her a run for her money.
That’s a great photo of Buck. Sydney looks great in his pirate outfit. The state house looks great behind you and Max.

Crap, I meant show!!
I love that photo of Buck. How cool a shot is that? What a pretty horse that is too – and Sydney looks adorable. Wait till you see the Christmas outfits my daughter has picked out for our little pups. Hilarious. I’m sorry you got sick, but glad you are on the mend. They should pipe through antibiotics in the stale airplane air or something – or hand them out free instead of peanuts.
Oh wow! I give your sister a lot of credit for returning to something she loved! Yay! And I hope you are feeling much better by the time you read this! Sydney looks adorable, the poor tortured dog. LOL.
All the pics are cool but that first one with the reflection is awesome.
What a great update! Love the pictures– Sidney should star in the next “Pirates of the Caribbean” after his Broadway debut.
If I look like your sister in ten years, I’ll be spending a lot of time on my knees, thanking God. Wait- if I looked that way now I’d be thanking God.
Hope you feel better (and good) soon!
I love Life On Mars. I think you’re the first person I know who’s said they watch it. I mention it and get back blank stares.
I love Sydney’s pirate suit! Can you imagine if I tried to put Tess in a suit. I wouldn’t have an arm left.
JoAnn looks wonderful, skinny and healthy and happy. Good going, JoAnn.
I like the disjointed posts too. Especially yours. The photos really help string things together IMO.
OK that does it. Now I HAVE to check out Life on Mars.
Sydney. He’s the very model of a modern major general. Except for the raggedy cutoffs. Sheesh. The poor guy looks a little embarrassed to me. But hey, I don’t really know the dog.
Kudos to your big sister. And if it’s any comfort to you Wendy, you DEFINITELY look like the younger sister to me.
Awesome photos. I like each one of them. I hope you’re feeling better by now.
I like the picture. I need to spend more time with my own camera. I never saw Life on Mars … that’s the cop drama in the 70s, right?
Most importantly, how can your dog love wearing clothes? Oh, he looks so funny. I need a dog I can dress up … always a good laugh!
Hope you feel better.
NO! Please! I know all the cool kids are doing it, but, mark my words, dressing animals is the gateway to more insidious ‘fun.’
