What’s going on in my life
I laid a 3.5-mile trail for my hash house harrier club this morning. Donna and Schatzi joined the pack but cut about a mile off trail. It was enough for Schatzi — mid 80s, bright sunlight and no shade — and she was glad to be home. I don’t think she’s left that chair since.
Since I occasionally carry a weapon on long motorcycle trips, I decided I’d better get an Arizona concealed carry permit. I had a CCW permit before but foolishly allowed it to expire, which meant I had to take state-mandated training all over again to obtain a new permit. Never mind that Arizona’s on the verge […]
A local restaurant sponsors Monday evening walks and runs in downtown Tucson; so far Donna and I have been to five or six. We quite enjoy the route, which winds through three picturesque parts of Tucson, the 1930-ish downtown section, the hippie-infested university district, and the historical Mexican Presidio (Tucson was part of Mexico until […]

Unconnected thoughts and observations which don’t rate separate blog posts, but when aggregated together might amount to something: We’re in Las Vegas, visiting the kids. Gregory’s birthday was the 10th; Polly’s is the 16th. Of course we’re spending time with our grandson Quentin, too, and campaigning to have his parents send him down to Tucson […]
Thank god! Since when do colds last a month? Didn’t they used to be over in, like, two weeks? Maybe I’m just older and weaker. Maybe the common cold has evolved into something more sinister. Either way, I’m happy to be getting back to normal. It helps that it’s also a beautiful day in Tucson. […]
Sorry for the lack of bloggage this past week. An awful sore throat has robbed me of the will to do pretty much anything. But today I can swallow without wincing. Light at the end of the tunnel! Non-essential filler follows (so the text will at least equal the graphic in size): Today’s the first […]
