Back to real life
I’m back from North Carolina and San Antonio, with no company and even free of the spousal unit for the rest of the week. I’m committed to thirty Superpages articles about my current topic. I also need to finish cleaning the last section of the patio, get everything out of the breakfast room that’s been […]
What I know
Just in case you ever happened to wonder. And so I can, you know, keep track: I know what Avogadro’s number is for (though I’d have to look up the actual number). I know that Ernest Hemingway loved cats, and more than sixty currently live on his estate in Florida. And more than half of […]
Surprise Self Striping Yarn
I’m knitting these socks in Trekking XXL, using a chart successfully for just about the first time ever. Well, successfully except that I saw-then-forgot a note about knitting two to change the starting point for the second repeat of the leg chart, so the bottom part of the leg design isn’t exactly centered on the […]
Especially for Cindy
Not me. One of my best friends from high school. Let me know how it goes! How to Haggle The single most important thing is to be willing to walk away. That gives you all the power in the interaction. And the fact is — and this is sometimes hard to remember, especially for those […]
Clothes
I’m right in the middle of changing out my winter clothes for summer clothes. (Do you hear that, weather? Let’s not do anything I’ll regret!) I have to wander away every so often because I have so many clothes that it takes forever. Does that sound too much like a diva? No, really, it shouldn’t. […]
Tonight
I picked up the new Chet & Bernie Mystery, Thereby Hangs a Tail. If you’re a Cozy lover, or a dog lover, do yourself a favor and read these books. This is only the second in the series, but Rich and I both enjoyed the first one so much we’ve really been looking forward to […]
It’s Spring!
The first day of Spring in north Texas! (Those white streaks are snowflakes.) And the next morning… Can you tell which way the wind was blowing? It’ll be close to 70°F by tomorrow. Spring really is here, and we might as well prepare for six months of heat. But for right now, it’s snuggle up […]
Did you know Texas is misty today?
I spent the weekend in San Antonio, and saw some good friends while I was there, plus had a really nice date with Rich. I drove back this afternoon/evening, and it was misting the whole way. All 300 miles. I watched a tanker truck fishtail right in front of me, on a two lane section […]
Four more years!
Mr. March on the Stars calendar, and my boy! What? Did you think I was talking about politics?
This is it!
It’s a real comfort that Brenden Morrow is on Team Canada for the Olympic Men’s Hockey gold medal game. He’s one of the four Stars players who went to the Olympics, and the only one still playing (though Jere Lehtinen helped Finland win a bronze medal). (And we’ll just breeze past that stinko semi-final game […]
