I’m on a soapbox today.
People Magazine is reporting that the Jon & Kate Plus 8 couple might be splitting up. That’s the couple with the reality TV series about raising eight little kids. I’m not a fan of the show, but my daughter is, so I’ve watched it with her a few times. It’s [...]

Disjointed Update

So this is what it’s come to, patio gardening in the courtyard. It’s my last-ditch effort to grow something here in the great Southwest. Currently I can’t even go out there because we’ve got two baby finches that fell from their nest, one of them wounded by the dog, and watching them hop around [...]
Saturday Recap

This is what Buck has been doing lately: Going through each back issue of our magazine and cataloging every single editorial reference to an advertiser. It’s tedious work. He’s not doing it for fun, nor is he having any, as you can see.
This is what I’ve been doing lately: I’ve been drinking catnip [...]
I’m Taking A Blog Break

I decided I should post something because inquiries into my absence from the Interweb have caused alarm in certain circles. I’ve been working (hard to believe, huh?), and if I’m so easily distracted from work … If I so much as take a peek at anything other than my email when I’m online, I get [...]

An orange sun in a blue sky. That’s the phrase that was in my head when I woke up this morning. What the hell goes on in there when I’m sleeping? Who’s talking inside my head when I’m off duty?

Buck is chatting on the phone to God-knows-who. I asked him if he had any [...]

Buck at Borders in Providence last month.
I am officially declaring the Borders in downtown Providence as the best chain bookstore ever. Different levels, great lighting, fantastic displays, cool music, delicious gingerbread hot chocolate (for me) and espresso (Buck). LOVE it.
We’re still eating our Thanksgiving ham. And it wasn’t even that big a ham! So far we’ve [...]

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 [...]
I Have No Name For This Post

I haven’t blogged for weeks. This is what I’ve been doing:
We went back to Massachusetts for our daughter’s wedding. Cody and her husband Paul got married in Salem on the pier, late afternoon, the weather was gorgeous. They had a lovely reception at Boston at Smith & Wollensky, the former Armory Castle built in 1891. [...]

Hey. Does it seem like people are using the word “exponentially” a lot lately? Seems like a day doesn’t go by that I don’t hear it.

This is a foreclosure house in my neighborhood. Like everywhere in the country right now, there are a lot of homes being foreclosed on in El Paso. Yesterday [...]
Blogaversary

Buck in the parking lot at Sierra Medical Center, morning before his operation.
It was our Life With Buck one-year blogaversary this month, but I haven’t done anything about it aside from renewing my domain name. I’ve been taking a breather from blogging, actually, to organize my thoughts and priorities after the horrors of [...]
