This has been an uneventful writing week for me.  Not much kicking around, not sure what to do about that and not sure if I’m even a writer soooo………when Fancy Nancy gave me this ticket the other day and said let’s go out, I did the happy dance. This is the second time I’ve seen … Read more

This week’s news reported a story that Mitt Romney has formed an exploratory committee to determine if he should run for president.  Previously, Newt Gingrich (I love America so damn much it causes me to keep cheating on my wives) made the same announcement.  Tim Pawlenty is traveling a lot and talking like he’s running … Read more

We got a kitten.  A real cutie named Beemer after a sweet little ride we had back in the day.  Har, har, har.  If we really named him after one of our early cars, he’d be called Oldsmobile Firenza (with faux paneling on the side).  When he came to his new residence, we took him … Read more

Big Daddy rides his bike every Saturday morning regardless of the weather.  His riding partner was out of town this weekend and on a lovely spring day that was perfect for bike riding, he was stuck with me.  He tried to act like it wasn’t painful but I recognized his sadness and decided to make … Read more
