"The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter." —Mark Twain
Two wheelin’ (the easy way)
At last, my face is getting back to normal. The dermatologist removed a small basal cell skin cancer from my forehead Monday. I applied ice as recommended that day and the next, but Wednesday when I woke my right eye was swollen almost shut. Same thing again Thursday morning. Today, though, the swelling is almost […]
Today’s domestic project was to flush out the water heater. Until a year ago I didn’t know this was something I was supposed to do, but our plumber set us straight and now it’s on the annual to-do list. Why is it important?

Yo, scammers, I already know a hot chicks who wear glasses … they’re in my book club, they’re real … and one of them is a biker too!
Just back from a five-day motorcycle tour of the Four Corners region, with overnight stays in Farmington NM, Ouray CO, Durango CO, and Flagstaff AZ.

I’m happier this morning than I’ve been in nearly two weeks. My cold is finally on the run. I’ve been off the non-prescription meds for two days now, Kleenex consumption is dropping to pre-cold levels, and after days of drinking hot tea with honey I’m craving coffee again. Whew! In the past I wouldn’t have […]
