We have a mouse. I just heard him chewing the hell out of something under our stove. And now I see his little calling cards. Well, seriously…what fun would these winter mornings be without a little mouse for company?
Maria’s husband (Jim) is coming to dinner. I’ve been sitting with him during church the way I [...]

My Taste Buds Need Something

Another mediocre meal!! What the hell is going on here?!
I made some beef barely soup with our leftover standing-rib roast, and it was bleh. Now I am dying for a hamburger and some french fries to shake all this insipidness out of my system. I doubt I’ll cave in, but my body is screaming for [...]
Two Things that Should have Rocked but Were only Mediocre

Oh brother. I did the unthinkable. I cooked a meal that was only mediocre.
You know, it was a long day anyway, but to top it off with a mediocre meal cooked for guests…well…ugh. Yesterday was Maria’s memorial service. That was mediocre, too. I didn’t like it. I thought I would, but it was one of [...]

Our first Upper Peninsula picnic on Lake Michigan. That’s a smoked whitefish. We’re doing great, don’t you think?
Sensory Overload

What a day we had yesterday, yes, Reader? Whew. And how totally sweet that
Mary and Suzanne handled the sales and the growing wad of cash at the Findlay Market book sale and signing (See Mary’s account over at her place);
Mary and Suzanne kept me fed and watered and entertained;
And they kept a whole lot of [...]
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 [...]

Of course I’m not referring to you when I say this, Reader, but there have been too many people these past few days. I feel as if it has been nonstop. So, I’m stopping it. Deb invited me to play golf with her this afternoon, but I just can’t do it. No more tee times, [...]
Kick-Ass Deviled Eggs and Fireworks

Mary uses vinegar and hot sauce in her deviled eggs. I LOVE them. See? It’s not rocket science…just surprise me a little bit.
And those women sure love Jones Pure Cane Cream Soda. It’s smooth. I can make a bottle last all week by taking only a sip or two a day, but Mary and Carol [...]
I Want a Cookout that Kicks My Ass
Posted in Friends, tagged 4th of July, alcoholism, cookout, Food, manners on July 4, 2009 | 2 Comments »
We went to a small cookout last night. It was okay. These people are nice people…she is Deb’s patient, and he is now our veterinarian. I can count on one hand (well, maybe on two fingers) the number of Deb’s patients with whom we’ve become friends…sometimes some people just decide that you’re going to be [...]
The Stressed and the Unstressed

Yes, yes. Yesterday’s post was sort of bleak, wasn’t it. I had been looking for a poem about a train ride in winter whose title I had forgotten when I uncovered the one posted yesterday…and since most of you have not read it nor had any idea it existed, I thought I’d just put it [...]
