 I don’t always notice things, I admit. Or, rather, I may not always notice things that others notice, such as, perhaps, my wife.

The Steadfastness of Mom-Dog

Posted in animals, dogs, entertainment, humor, life, pets, travel on June 7, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Last weekend we were up in the foothills of the Sierras, visiting some of the little Gold Country towns connected by highway 49, named for the miners who arrived there a century and a half ago, hoping to strike it rich.

Matrimonial Amusments

Posted in culture, humor, life on May 19, 2008 | 9 Comments »

It was called the war between the sexes, years ago. But some of that hyperbole might have been media-driven — these days I’d call it more like friendly skirmishing. And it’s all the better when each side can take a joke.

Recycling re-eccentricity

Posted in gardening, humor, nature, technology, thoughts, walking on April 16, 2008 | 16 Comments »

We all have our eccentricities. I have mine, I’ll bet you have yours. Sometimes they’re things we don’t share with the whole world. Or maybe what goes on at home isn’t known in the office, and vice versa.

Bamboozled - part one

Posted in dogs, e-scrapbook, gardening, humor, nature, pets, rants on March 24, 2008 | 8 Comments »

I am going to write to you about bamboo, and what is entailed in its removal. This is part of why I’ve been so delinquent recently. Or remiss, at least — time spent with pick and shovel more often leading to collapse in the easychair than tapping a keyboard.
But first, some happy news on the [...]

Gratitude for the vertebra connecting skull to backbone

Posted in entertainment, humor, life, technology, television on February 26, 2008 | No Comments »

We didn’t play as much this weekend as we had hoped. Things took longer than expected, and the gremlins, pixies and leprechauns were acting up again, apparently partying far heartier than we were. They might have had a ways to go to keep up with us back in the day, but this weekend they were [...]

Anthropomorphic Motoring

Posted in commute, culture, humor, life, pets, technology, thoughts, travel on January 27, 2008 | 15 Comments »

I have a coworker who gets lost easily; I’ll call her A. About four of us were hired at the same time, working between two buildings, a lovely old well-ornamented Beaux Arts building and a modern concrete and glass box, connected by various corridors and passageways. We have passcards to beam us into the places [...]

The Alfred E. Neuman post

Posted in humor, life, thoughts, writing on January 21, 2008 | 8 Comments »

My friend is losing his inexpensive apartment and bummed about it. Another friend is getting by, but worried about the rising cost of his health care, and wondering how long he can afford to freelance. I know people who are single and wish they were in a monogamous relationship, and I know married people who [...]

“But I want to know for sure!
C’mon and — hold me tight.
You mooove me.”
