Got a cold.  Can’t bweathe. (insert cough here)  This puts me even more behind in everything, including reading you, Dawn. And you, Cori. On the couch watching a smarmy movie—not for long, though; it’s really stupid and the synth score … Continue reading →

Many things to write about.  I cast my net backwards tonight, stealing a few moments to play in pictures, and found a few I’d like to share. Gin took these shots, coming up here in October.  They were higher in … Continue reading →

Here is the story of our luck.  It’s not a simple tale.  And maybe it’s just this year.  But maybe it’s not.  So I was – doing something.  I think I was cleaning the kitchen.  I probably wasn’t, but the … Continue reading →

~:: Just Wait Ten Minutes ::~

Posted on May 9, 2011 by webmaster

~:: Sprung Spring ::~

Posted on February 25, 2011 by webmaster

I took a little pre-spring boating trip this morning—in the Suburban, down to the horses, the wet, hang-dog horses.  I had fed Piper and let him out first.  I only got stuck in the snow once, but didn’t have to … Continue reading →

Oh-oh-oh, before I start, here.  I would like to announce the fact that I have fixed the Firefox problem (very perplexing).  I finally had the time and focus to go through the html/php/css to find the thing that had broken … Continue reading →

Wrong Side of the Mirror pt.3

Posted on March 30, 2010 by webmaster

Part Three: Dick will WAY not be interested. Chaz was lamenting the fact that you can’t get a good picture of Toby; he’s too black-colored, and it’s really hard to expose for his face. So I decided I’d give it … Continue reading →

Posted on March 23, 2010 by webmaster

Like children, horses have to be told everything a thousand times.  Puppies, too.  It’s called training, but really, it’s just dogged insistence on the part of the responsible party.  Some people have a gift for doing it, others have it … Continue reading →
