Turned out to be a great Sunday. The weather was in the high 60’s and sunny, so I decided to let the cats out in the backyard to wander around. I used some boards and bricks to block the area under the back fence so they couldn’t squeeze through to the yard behind me. Not […]

OK, I’ve really enjoyed parts of the Olympics but I’m ready for it all to end. I feel compelled to watch every night, even when there’s an event that I don’t really care about. Tonight I’m watching the four-man bobsled race because the United States had a chance to win the gold for the first […]

I’m going to be grateful when the Olympics are finally over. Not that I’m not enjoying watching them, it’s just that I can’t continue to stay up until 12:30-1:00 am every night! I don’t understand why NBC has to run them so late, and especially since they are all pre-recorded/tape-delayed. Start them at 7:00 pm […]

Was off sick today with what I hope is a 24 hour stomach bug of some sort. Starting to feel better tonight, but certainly felt miserable all day. I really need to go to work tomorrow so am hopeful this crud will be out of my system come morning. Am looking forward to a long […]

Seems that all the places around the country that are supposed to have mild weather right now are getting dumped on heavy duty. We’re getting unbelievable amounts of rain, accompanied by thunder, lightning, hail and mudslides. Fortunately my home is safe, but I know of others who can’t say the same. I don’t mind the […]

Tonight Phil Jackson became the coach who has won the most games ever as a Lakers coach. And on Sunday Kobe scored 44 points and has now scored the highest number of points of any Laker in history! It’s been pretty exciting to watch the games where these milestones have been reached. Last year it […]
