What’s going on in my life
Earlier, I mentioned Donna’s new bike. Well, you ask, what does it look like? That’s Donna and her new ride on the left, me and my still-kinda new ride in the middle, and Polly with her old beater on the right. Six months ago, Polly had the newest bike. I bet she gets another one […]
Every time Donna and I visit our son and daughter-in-law and grandchildren in Las Vegas, I promise myself I’m going to write a blog entry about Las Vegas as a place to live. People have odd ideas about the place, but I think if they could see the neighborhoods where residents live, they’d realize what a […]
This morning I added several new reference links to my browser’s favorites list. When I’m writing (yes, even writing for friends via this humble blog), I look things up, including things I’m pretty sure I know. Like the title to this entry. Is “on” supposed to be capitalized?

Well, that didn’t take long. When it comes to snow in Tucson, it’s easy come, easy go. And God, what a beautiful day it is today! Like all Arizona newcomers, we miss snow in the abstract, but not at all in the particular. Of course in four or five months, when it’s a hundred and […]
It’s creeping down the mountain toward us. Weather forecasters are hedging their bets. Maybe it’ll snow in Tucson, maybe not. I think it’s down about as far as it’ll get this year. I have plenty of time to observe the weather today. Donna and Polly are out shopping for paint, and normally I’d grab this […]
