Looking for….Something. Have not had the time, energy or wherewithal to blog the last couple of days. Actually that’s not a 100% true-I could have blogged, but truth be told, I-JUST-DID-NOT-FEEL-LIKE-IT. Not sure why. Because there certainly was a heck of a lot of stupidity that deserved to be commented

Takyuu
Is the word for Ping Pong in Japanese. The S.O. and I have been talking about getting a Ping Pong table ever since we went to Tapoco Lodge last summer. We had looked through catalogs and at the local sports stores and also at Sears. For the kind of table

In like a lion-out like a lion? Cold today-just as it was a couple of weeks ago when we took these pictures: This is Poogan’s Porch-which is the place you want to go for an artery hardening brunch on a cold Sunday morning. The restaurant is named for the dog

Another week-and another shopping trip with the S.O. God forbid we might actually do something useful on a Saturday-like play golf. Today though we decided to liven it up a bit by exploring some. The weather this morning was beautiful-albeit somewhat cold. So off we set for the town of

We got back yesterday night with a few extra hours in DFW that I could have done without. Now I am trying to squeeze in a post between the ever present demands of the S.O. that I do house things-this is why I wanted to be skiing yesterday and coming

The S.O. that is. In a sign she may have been in the United States too long, the S.O., who could never cuss in English as little as 8 months ago, has now become fond of using the term “F**king Mexicans” to describe the construction workers on the lot across

As the S.O. and I get ready for our European trip. Had to make sure the camera works: “You are in for a big suprise in a few days-can you spell, kennel?” So I chased him around a little bit: Transferred some older pictures: A sunset taken back this summer:
