Words Fail…

It's been a hell of a week for the Biden administration. Or let me back up, the Grima Wormtongue that's actually running things. As usual others have said it better than me. Nearly anyone on my blog roll to the right has better analysis of things. I tend to like Adaptive Curmudgeon, Bayou Renaissance Man, … Continue reading Words Fail… →

Sunday Music

https://youtu.be/YT_63UntRJE?t=773 OK, Screw it if I've posted this before. The second movement of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A will rip your soul out and take it for a ride. Especially if the soloist is a woman that is very, very close looking to your daughter, who you've heard play this piece a few hundred times.

What a Week

With all the activity last week, I didn't have time to write down probably one of the craziest things that is happened since I've lived here. Last week I had jury duty. And as such I blew off the day. I have an astonishing amount of vacation still left to burn. What happened is, when … Continue reading What a Week →

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 →

Jury Duty

This week I was blessed with Jury Duty. Six Bucks! Such a deal! I lived for nearly 40 years in Fairfax County Virginia and had jury duty exactly once. Down here, I think I get called up every eighteen months or so. I've been at least ten times since I've lived here. I've been on … Continue reading Jury Duty →

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…. →

De-Stinking the Car

I've been hooked on Vice Grip Garage for some time. When he's cleaning these old cars, Derek and his helpers use Sprayway Products, which he endorses on the site. So, I did the right thing and bought one of everything. Three of the cans I got Good thing too, since my car was filthy, and … Continue reading De-Stinking the Car →

Night Night Time

Every night, when it's time for the pups to go to bed, we simply say their name and "Night Night". The two older dogs simply walk into their cages. Jasper usually does as well. But every now and then, He pauses to make sure. Maybe, I'll change my mind... https://vimeo.com/591330472 Time for Bed

Sunday Dinner

I took a huge nap on Sunday, and got up refreshed to cook dinner. Dinner is served The chicken is simply split in half, seasoned with salt and pepper, and slow roasted at 300 degrees, followed by low broil. The rice is Cajun dirty rice, which I posted some time ago. The veggies are a … Continue reading Sunday Dinner →

Sunday Music

This was at thing in my misguided youth... https://youtu.be/7Zh5oMJo3co If you haven't heard Little Feat's "Waiting for Columbus" you gotta get it. They recorded that album live at "the Bayou" in Georgetown DC, where I've spent many, many a night. The DJ that introduced them, "Cerphe" was a fixture in the DC area radio scene. … Continue reading Sunday Music →
