We heard a guy sing and play guitar this weekend. He played guitar very well and had a good singing voice. It was just him, by his lonesome up on that stage. So why, in the name of all that is holy (or not), would his penultimate song be: If You’re Gonna Play in Texas…

My mind has not only turned into oatmeal, but it has also lost all of its raisins. I was supposed to accompany my sister to her first deep tissue massage appointment today.  (Not that she needs the supervision but because I worry that after it she may be in too much pain to drive –…

I don’t know who is responsible for this – but I am sure that the taxpayers of Michigan just got diddled – and not in a fun way. A few weeks ago, the main road that runs by our neighborhood was repainted.  I thought it was weird, because they didn’t bother sweeping the road before…

Clearly this show should be sponsored by Metamucil. (Add sound of rimshot here.) Kind of a retake on the Sherlock Holmes/Watson story, from the point of view of the group of street children known as the irregulars. Cool premise.  If only they could have stuck to that premise. But no ……… We have to add…

My psychologist got a faceful of me in a downward spiral today. I couldn’t get to sleep until after 3 a.m. because of all the “stuff” swirling around in my head.  Usually, I can shut this stuff down – I envision a tub with water and I pull the plug and tell myself that those…

Our fat cat Berta had surgery this Monday – a weird growth on her ear was removed and she had a dental which included two extractions. Poor baby; but she’s doing fine. Not in much (if any) pain, and loving that I’m feeding her on demand. Me? I am not happy. Prior to these procedures,…

I have watched 3 NetFlix series:  The Pentaverate.  Meh. A few funny moments and you do get to see Michael Meyers’ penis; but mostly so juvenile even I wasn’t amused (and I am, if nothing else, easily amused).  Cowboy Bebop (live action).  Kind of loved this one.  The action scenes are amazing – and I’m…

(Not that that was a concern for me – ever.) I am finding that gathering with family entails eating – almost always.  Saturday, my husband was at a family reunion in upstate New York, so my sister Karon and I decided to have a sleep over.  She came over around dinner time, so we went…

So I’m making lazy dinner (microwave to the rescue) and we’re having Boomerang Pies- which we like a lot.  For the first time, I really look at the box. WTF? Are these for Aussies trying to pass as Canadian or Canadians trying to pass as Aussie?

Today the heaven’s opened up and it poured for hours today. There was thunder too (although I saw no lightning). The rain was timed perfectly – I had a doctor appointment at 10 a.m.  I was home around 11 a.m., the thunder started shortly after I got home and then it just came down in…
