The world is full of strange people. Another one made the news just a couple of days ago. Personally I wouldn’t do what that guy did. (Streaking during a storm that is.) A piece of flying glass could’ve changed him from a rooster to hen in the blink of an eye. But for the most …(Read More)

Well it’s official. Yesterday was the hottest day ever in the city of Houston. Well the hottest on the thermometer anyway. It was a toasty 109. Yes 109. I have no idea what the heat index was. But it was fucking hot. Seriously. And we had quite a day. Doug and I got up early …(Read More)
As most everyone knows we have dogs- a lot of dogs. and having such a big pack is expensive. So occasionally things get missed. Not the big stuff of course like annual check ups, heartworm medicine and the like. Just last month everyone had their check ups and I’m happy to say everyone was in …(Read More)
I live in Texas which most people think is the South. And for the most part I love that. I really do. The pace is slower, at least compared to NYC or Chicago. And although most of the people I met in Manhattan last summer were courteous enough, it’s just not like being down South …(Read More)
It seems that once again our world is expanding; and if you want to keep it up with it you probably want to read this. Heaven forbid you not be up on the latest lingo and wind up misspeaking when you’re out and about by yourself, or even worse when you’re around your grown kids …(Read More)
Here we are in beautiful Houston, where it’s predicted to only be on 103 on the thermometer today. With the heat index it’s pushing 110. And what are we going to be doing today? Dumpster diving. Again. We went a few weeks ago. On our anniversary to be exact. It was fabulous. I can’t wait. …(Read More)
I know a lot of people are still traveling this summer, so I decided to share a bit of travel news I heard. Apparently if you used to be kinda- famous it must be OK to pee on the carpet in a commercial airliner. At least that what Gerard Depardieu thought. Can you believe it? …(Read More)
Today is a dog day here. So if you’re a lover of canines you’ll probably be happy. The doctors are in… Things around here have been pretty intense of late. And because of that I’ve been kinda down. And since I’m still without my magic pills I have to depend on homeopathic remedies. The best …(Read More)
Unless you have on your big girl or big boy undies you might want to come back tomorrow. I’m gonna talk about sex. Yes, people my age still have sex. And yes, some of us still like sex. Don’t you dare say “EWWWWW” while wrinkling your nose. Baby boomers like myself who started college in …(Read More)
I got a knock on our door last week. Luckily, it wasn’t the Jehovah’s Witnesses. It was a door-to-door salesperson. But it wasn’t Avon or the Fuller brush man. It was a man with meat. Seriously. Door-to-door. It wasn’t a rep from Omaha steaks. And despite the pleadings of our pack I declined his offer, …(Read More)
