Yes, we have eight. Housecats. Because we do not want nine. Sneaky (Mr. L calls her Squeaky, and I sometimes call her Sneakers) has decided otherwise. She’s living here. She wants to. She wants ear rubs. On the side porch steps and nowhere else. We oblige. So we have nine. … Continue reading →
Of all the announcements at Apple’s developer conference, I think the OS X Mavericks one caught my interest the most. Yes, all day battery life in the MacBook Air is very welcome, but I can’t upgrade my Air yet. The Mac Pro announcement was long overdue. IOS7 is a work … Continue reading →
Hard to believe I’m not sure what to say about cats today. Rossie and Ajax are returning from their three week sojourn to San Antonio today. Rossie’s socialization showed small progresses but nothing particularly ground breaking. We’ll see how badly she reverts to the mean when she returns to the … Continue reading →

I’m a little late with this week’s photo. Our local post office handy man hasn’t been on the job long, but is he ever making a positive difference in our community! A few months ago, he began stripping layer upon layer of white paint off the entryway, slowly revealing classic … Continue reading →
Let me get the obvious stuff out in the open right up front. Yesterday afternoon, Brandilyn Collins posted an offer to her Twitter account and Facebook page that I could not refuse.
