Kim DuToit goes off on Grammar from time to time. I love these posts, because he's right and I agree with him. What people do to the English language is a sin and a crime against humanity. What makes me nuts most of all is when words are changed and people start repeating them like … Continue reading Words I Hate

Planning for the Future
We spent some time checking in with our financial planners. Good news is, I'm not going to have to work five years after I'm dead in order to retire. We both could call "no mas" and go part time at 65, if we wanted. Which we plan to do. This is all predicated on no … Continue reading Planning for the Future
Jasper Update
Last night wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. After closing the computer down, I took off the boy's lampshade and laid down with him on the couch. He had a good two hours sleep, until he had enough and went into his crate. So I had to re-install his lampshade. He slept … Continue reading Jasper Update
Just another day….
This is the boy's new thing: https://vimeo.com/593051565 He's getting mouthy. This is Jasper's new thing. As it happens, I figured out, by simple observation, that he wants to either come into my office, or have Aria play with him. I think it's more that he wants to hang at my feet. But girlfriend will bite … Continue reading Just another day….

We move closer to God when we move away from the self. … Continue reading Too Big for My Boots
Defensive Driving?
How about no driving? or can't drive worth a damn? Eric Peters has a great article on "Defensive Driving". But it's really about the lost art of driving properly. This hit a nerve with me, since I spent the lions share of my career travelling around. I've driven 20K-30K miles in some years. I was … Continue reading Defensive Driving?
DOH!
I'm almost afraid to admit it. I wasn't taking care of my business. For the longest time there's been water around the spa. It seemed to coincide with colder weather so I was figuring that it was simply the water cooking off condensing on the top falling to the pavement. It vexed me something awful … Continue reading DOH!
Yet another critter
Awhile back I did a post on the destructors. My three dogs. But I forgot one of the other creatures that live here. So I thought add her. But first, look at this doofus: Always wants a ride Whenever I open a car door, the doofus Jasper jumps in. You see car=fun, so if I … Continue reading Yet another critter
Welcome to Texas!
After the once in a lifetime freeze here in Dallas, I'd like to revise and extend my post welcoming the folks from other states. I'd like to add... Every few years, more than one, less than five, something will happen that will smash your stuff - your house, your car, your life. Dead freeze this … Continue reading Welcome to Texas!
