I spent some time lallygagging in the pool this morning. A frog joined me. He stared at me, and I stared at him. I told him he better not. He gave me one final defiant look and leaped in anyway. We actually spent some time swimming together, Frog and I did. Then he tired and [...]

Wow, did yesterday get away from me. I can’t say it was all bad. I spent a lot of time in the car getting necessary errands accomplished. It’s nice to have several things checked off the list. Today’s calendar includes a weight lifting session this morning followed by a quick round of picking up some [...]

Well someone in this household had too much fun yesterday afternoon and is now dragging through the morning. I am not as young as I used to be, that’s for sure.

Remember this discussion of the I-forgot-to-go-to-class dream? Well I’m absolutely in agreement this dream comes up when I’m in fear of being judged because I had it again early this morning. Today is the big day when a Wisconsin County judge decides on a summary motion to dismiss Joe Niebler’s lawsuit against me. We’ve been [...]

The summer schedule is in full effect. Don’t call before 8:00 a.m. unless you want my unhappy voice. The flip side? I’m available to chat at all hours of the night. I wonder if this schedule will continue someday when there aren’t youngsters around to drive the clock? — I never made it to the [...]

He can’t hear the storm. He has no idea chaos is breaking out there. Mimma’s was great, as usual. I haven’t been in a long, long time, so it was a treat. Sleep well!

Well, first I explained to the automotive repair folks that I knew the car wouldn’t act up for them, but since it died on me a couple of days ago in the middle of the intersection, I wasn’t going to pick it up until they found the problem and fixed it. And no, I’m not [...]
