March can be a trying time. We look forward to the start of spring, while also still dealing with the remnants of winter. Take for example this week where we received 5″ of new snow on Tuesday night, temperatures near 50ºF (10ºC) yesterday, and the promise of more snow on Friday. A rollercoaster ride of […]
Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to slow down and join me for a winter idyll idle. Shall we begin? Take a deep breath, and slowly exhale. Feel the sun on your face. Roll over and listen to the icicles dripping onto the metal rain gutters. Take a big stretch. Cool […]
Once again I found myself watching the Winter Olympics and daydreaming about what might have been.

While watching the Winter Olympics, I couldn’t help but get nostalgic thinking about the games Angel Chuck Billy and I played. Notice I didn’t say compete.

Whoa! Slow down there! Step away from the tree! Before you take down the decorations remember that we are still within the 12 Days of Christmas, which began on December 26th and runs through Epiphany on January 6th. In fact, based on my calculations we are eligible for an additional 364 gifts! All the more […]
Does anyone recognize this Llama? He arrived in a Kong box last week, but he’s rather shy and not forthcoming as to his name or who sent him. I searched his box, but my only clue is the packing slip says he was purchased on December 1, 2025. I also did the polite greeting of […]
