What’s going on in my life
In a previous post I mentioned our upcoming Saturday night date: dinner at a National Rifle Association auction. I wanted to wear my ACLU member pin but couldn’t find it. I did my homework, though, and was prepared to argue the case for protecting all ten amendments in the Bill of Rights, not just the […]
Good lord, yesterday’s post was quite the whinge. I need to work on feeling less insecure, which is the same thing as saying I need a swift kick in the ass. I blame my dog. Schatzi’s still down in the dumps, and so, by extension, am I. She’s listless, slow, barely interested in things that […]
If you mouse over the blogroll links on the left sidebar of this blog, comments appear. Roll your mouse over the link to Bike Snob NYC, for example, and you get this: “A smug bicyclist makes fun of smug bicyclists.” So anyway, I have a friend who reads my blog. I know this because he […]
Our dachshund Schatzi has been listless and sleepy the last two days, not her normal frisky self. All bodily functions seem normal, she’s eating, her nose feels cool and wet … in short, we don’t have any idea what’s wrong with her. If only she could tell us, right? If the pup doesn’t perk up […]

Today’s Pima Air & Space Museum tours were interesting. I had a group of 14-15 schoolkids for the first tour, kids who mostly appeared to be around ten to eleven years old. There were three adults with them, so at least they were chaperoned. Nice kids, but easily distracted. The number one question of the […]
I started reading a thick paperback yesterday around noon … it looked to be a 400- to 500-pager … but it turned out to be written in blank verse, with just a few words per page. Including breaks for errands, dinner, and the Rachel Maddow Show, I was done by seven. The book was Crank […]
