I Lost Them All Friday Round-Up
The man next to me in a meeting today complimented my calves. There was conversation that led up to this that had to do with my knee-high boots, whether they were leather, and that there was a stretchy portion to accommodate, you know, healthy… Continue Reading “I Lost Them All Friday Round-Up”
Peaches and Herb Friday Round-Up
Somehow, we’ve gone from being a ‘power couple’ to a couple of cuties. This is okay with me since I’m very much into looks, not that I’m vain or anything, just very conscious. I don’t remember crossing that bridge from power couple to cuties,… Continue Reading “Peaches and Herb Friday Round-Up”
Winter Hats and Other Observations Friday Round-Up
I love seeing the super-rich guy getting flummoxed by a 250-year-old institution (Congress) because he thought it was just a bunch of guys waiting for him to tell them what to do. Oh Elon. Failure to read the room is such a common problem… Continue Reading “Winter Hats and Other Observations Friday Round-Up”
I Can Be Snazzy Sometimes Friday Round-Up
I have a sequined jacket and these boots, but I don’t wear them at the same time. I did wear the boots today to the last Commission on Aging meeting of 2024, mostly because a fellow commissioner came to an event earlier in the… Continue Reading “I Can Be Snazzy Sometimes Friday Round-Up”
Oh, No! Not Another Post about Dogs Friday Round-Up
I am now frying an egg every day for Swirl. I’ve decided that he needs more protein to address this muscle loss business. When I’m done frying the egg, I put it in the bowl, slice it into bite-size pieces and blow on it… Continue Reading “Oh, No! Not Another Post about Dogs Friday Round-Up”
Life’s Gait Belt Friday Round-Up
I can put anti-embolism socks on a grown man with a very sore leg. This is a new skill I put right up there with being able to unlock the back door carrying a toddler and two bags of groceries after dropping my keys… Continue Reading “Life’s Gait Belt Friday Round-Up”
I’m Not Extraordinary but I Keep Trying Friday Round-Up a Day Late on Saturday
Lately, I have been getting to know a man who is legally blind. Sometimes I give him a ride home from meetings and we talk all the way like we’ve known each other for years. We talk about him going blind and me going… Continue Reading “I’m Not Extraordinary but I Keep Trying Friday Round-Up a Day Late on Saturday”
The Fry on the Floor Friday Round-Up
In our town, right now, the authorities are evicting people from being homeless. That’s right. Folks are getting 5-day eviction notices to vacate where they are camping because they don’t have any place to live. For instance, say you get evicted from an actual… Continue Reading “The Fry on the Floor Friday Round-Up”
Bubbles for Big Dogs Friday Round-Up
A man at the dog park waved bubbles from a wand for his giant German Shepherd to chase and pop with his nose. I loved this. It seemed like an opening scene in a Disney movie. Otherwise, the dog looked like he was on… Continue Reading “Bubbles for Big Dogs Friday Round-Up”
Foul Balls at the Ballpark and Elsewhere Friday Round-Up
It’s complicated but the upshot is this: Swirl the Dog managed to imprison Herc the Cat in my office while we were at the ballgame. Now, this is hard to envision but it involves Swirl removing the 1,152-page Steven King novel, The Stand, from… Continue Reading “Foul Balls at the Ballpark and Elsewhere Friday Round-Up”
