Do I have to walk that dog in this crappy rain? I think that I do not. I think it will be okay if I wait until this afternoon to walk him in this afternoon’s rain.

Baggy but Sweet

I discovered a pair of old shorts in the bottom of my drawer. I had two pair of these Patagonia shorts, and I wore the hell out of them. They are now ratty. I tell you, I have had these things for 15 or more years and the elastic hardly holds them up anymore. This [...]
Running and Rolling and Sniffing and Digging

Good morning, Reader. Yes, I’m a little late writing this morning…I slept an hour later than usual, and Not Alice was the thing to let go for a while.
I’ve just walked the dog in the woods (I’ll post a picture of the bench on which I’m writing this), and we had a grand time running [...]

To Do:
Get the poster they keep promising to send me for the FM book signings.
Buy ink refills for that fancy pen. It’s probably bad form to run out of ink at these things.
Write the blurb for the FM newsletter. Make it interesting enough, but don’t oversell it.
Buy magenta ink cartridge at Staples. Why the entire [...]
A Marching Band Is Sort of Strange
Posted in dog, tagged dog, fear, Food, marching band, track team on August 4, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Some days there’s just very little to say. Deb’s been going each morning to the hospital to see Maria, but it’s sort of hard for a regular, non-M.D. person like me to just walk through the family waiting area and into the ICU. And I don’t have much to contribute there, anyway…I can’t translate all [...]
Recurrent Images

This is just the sweetest dog.
And have I told you how often I look at a clock and it reads 5:17?
To write a novel, you need to include recurrent images.
Air Washed

Wow. I slept an hour longer than usual. Probably because the window is still open just enough to let that wonderfully bearable air wash over me. Or maybe because it’s raining a little. And the sound of rain, well…that explains it…you know how I was lulled. I will soon be walking that dog of mine [...]
Afternoon Post: Wishing for Peepers

Oh, Reader, it is snowing again…it is a heavy heavy blizzarding snow, and Deb is stuck at the hospital, and no cars are moving on the roads, and I am getting so tired of it. But we have months to go here. And while we’re at it, I am becoming tired of all those people, [...]
Nothing gets you out in the rain quite like a dog. Murphy and I took a long walk in dropping temperatures, but something about being outside in the woods in inclement weather and in rain gear and meeting other people walking the same way makes me feel good about myself. I feel healthier for it. [...]
Cows

What I really want for a blog header is a row of cows eating grass. Something about that image soothes me. But for now, I’ll head out into the cold dark and walk the dog in a place far far from cows and on a morning when the green grass is covered in frost. It [...]
