Things I am hooked on at the moment. Cats, grits with lots of butter and salt, Japanese tv from NHK.org, songs from the 1930’s, the Military Channel, the Science Channel, TCM, jumping to conclusions, and having time to read, read and read some more. Oh, I am also hooked on drawing and writing always. Things […]Read Post ›
Freckles loves drinking from the sink in the bathroom. At least, he loved drinking from the sink in the first and second place we lived. Those sinks were cat sized and the faucets didn’t scare him.

Our guilty pleasure back then was the telephone. You know, that plain, vanilla land line that no one had to call from after the earthquake. Yup, that […]Read Post ›
Remarkable weather recently. Prepared but still awed by the intensity of the rain. I even have thought up a new word for these sequential disasters. Instead of the WP’s insipid Hurriquake which is backward, I called it the quak-hur. Although the Post probably thought of that and then decided it could have been a slam […]Read Post ›
