I love you both very much. I’m not really much of a cat person, but you guys are okay, you know? You’re good with the dogs, you don’t eat the goldfish. You don’t shed too much. And you both have an element of charm and personality that is nice in a cat. For example, laying [...]

Because I’m working on art and jewelry today. I even have ideas. But I have a bunch of pictures to finish, and jewelry to make. Because, at some point, I actually have to get paid for doing something. Blogs are great, but the pay sucks and there’s no dental.

If I see one more commercial for “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here”, I will scream. Do we have the option of simply putting Speidi back on the show and then just leaving them all there?
Why is the Today show featuring “Real Housewives” as guest hostesses while Kathie Lee is on vacation. I [...]

Facebook has a little something for everyone. I don’t play Mafia Wars, for example, but I do kidnap my friends to my hideout in Rio de Janeiro periodically. And I update my status on a regular basis. I also shamelessly shlep the blog there. I’m a Facebook “fan” of the Coast Guard, Amelia Earhart, and geocaching.
I thought [...]

Recently it came to my attention that my blogs about the relative state of my kaleidoscopic brain were too personal for some. That reading about my unprofessional self-analysis and pain felt like voyeurism. I suppose it probably would make some uncomfortable. Newsflash – it should make you uncomfortable. I believe, that somewhere deep down, there [...]

I have to confess, I haven’t read “Katie”, mostly because it hasn’t been released yet, but when it is, I will. I’ll probably even send a copy to my nephews. “Katie” is the story of a western diamondback rattlesnake, told from the point of view of the snake, but also the biologists who interact in [...]

It is funny, how the world works. Sometimes the tragic, the near disaster, can drive us apart, and sometimes it deepens our understanding of each other and our lives. Every once in a while you get those whacks upside the head that explain “why”. If you’re lucky, you get them before it’s too late.
On Monday [...]

I’ve heard everything. It is official. PETA objects to the Pike Place Market fishmongers throwing fish. For those unfamiliar, the fish-throwing thing is an entertainment staple and part of the defining imagery of the Market.
Actually, the uproar started when the American Veterinary Medical Association wanted to invite the fish-throwers to their convention as a team-building [...]

Yesterday at about 5:30 Tara managed to get out of the yard. I noticed that only Morgan and Nike were inside on the couch and went looking and she was just gone. We have six foot chain link fence and all the gates were shut. Nick and I immediately canvassed the neighborhood on foot and [...]
