One of my favorite pictures of the S.O. Can you guess where it was taken?

A new low……..
Three years ago. ( three years! That alone is appalling)-when I was contemplating my expulsion from paradise and the reality of having to take up residence in Gehenna on the Tennessee, a commenter here posted this tidbit of advice: “If you come home and find her watching Oprah and eating twinkies-get her ass on the… Continue reading A new low……..
So that’s it!
The S.O. summarized: Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.- Oscar Wilde Irish dramatist, novelist, & poet (1854 – 1900) Thus the dilemma of living with a woman-and reason 298 why marriage is outmoded.
Another year come and gone…..
Today is the 9th year that I have known and been with the S.O.-although it certainly does not seem like it has been that long. Four years ago, I wrote the post that follows-and I still find it’s a good recounting of the joys and frustrations of living with her. Probably the big difference now… Continue reading Another year come and gone…..
How she thinks……..
Richard asked me a while back-what the S.O. thought about life in America. I promised a response. To appreciate the way her little mind thinks-it is important to understand a couple of key background facts. Otherwise the ideas won't make a lot of sense; or they will seem more hateful than they really are. I've… Continue reading How she thinks……..
Road trip
Got to Pensacola in 5 hours. Not a bad drive-but thank God for cruise control. And satellite radio. The S.O. is the happiest I have seen her in months. She is so excited to be reunited with one of her friends from the right side of the international dateline. A.C. Reid has 45 holes now.… Continue reading Road trip
It is all about context……..
Tomorrow, the S.O and I are leaving for an extended weekend in Pensacola, "The birthplace of Naval Aviation". A good friend of ours from Japan is moving there and we are going down to see them while they house hunt. AND, play golf at the NAS Pensacola Golf Course. 27 of the finest holes in US Navy… Continue reading It is all about context……..
Birds and flowers…….
This spring and summer the S.O. has taken to gardening in a big way. She has cultivated probably every available square inch of our small little yard for flower beds, hanging flowers, and she had me build her a planter to put next to the patio. I shudder-because the day will come when I make her… Continue reading Birds and flowers…….
Barbarians at the gate……..
We had some digging work done yesterday. Utility markings had been done-grass spray painted, that should take care of it right? WRONG. The cable for the TV and internet and phone were cut. But good. To say the S.O. was upset would not be putting it quite correctly. I think it is safe to say… Continue reading Barbarians at the gate……..
To the Plains of Abraham and back….
I have known you as a gallant adversary. It is now my pleasure to make your acquaintance as a friend. And I yours, Monsieur La Marquis.-From the movie Last of the Mohicans…….. Uh, how’s that getting out flanked thing working out General? We made the circuit up to Quebec City yesterday. The drive was fine-the… Continue reading To the Plains of Abraham and back….
