At work we’ve been listening to (not really reading.  My bosses would frown on us reading instead of working) Born to Run:  A  Hidden Tribe, Super Athletes, and the Greatest Race the World has Never Seen by Christopher McDougall.  This book is fascinating.  Since I’m training for the Seattle Half Marathon it seemed appropriate to [...]

We got the first assignment for quidditch.  And here’s the finished homework assignment.
Find the following people among players on your and the other teams. (Each person can only be listed once.)

It’s my latest addiction.  It’s so frustrating but it’s actually a great stress reliever.  I tend to do a few when I get home from work.  And I’ve been doing a lot of reading.  I’ve gone thru 3 books in a couple of weeks.  I’m going to have to do thru all my books again [...]

The lake temperature was perfect.  I wanted to swim a half mile – [...]

On my drive to work, I always go by the YMCA.  And this week I noticed something strange.

I’m not sure this is a banquet I want to go to.  What is black ach?  I believe my cat might have the black ach.  I mean, he gets some mean hairballs…
Things like that make my days a [...]

We had some incredibly wonderful weather the past couple of weeks and my plants seem to love it.  My topsy turvy tomatos plant is taking over!

And my peony is almost ready to bloom.

And my little planter of chard, kale and squash seems to be doing well.

I wish my understanding of how to knit 2 socks [...]

I came home this evening after a trip to teh grocery store and turned on the tv to find a story about our local humane society holding Kitten Kindergarten!  You an train your kitties to do all sorts of tricks.  Where was this when my furry little layabouts were little.  I could be making money [...]

Today was a crap free day – both literally and figuratively.  Not a whole lot went on today.  One of the things that I like about my job is that I’m left alone most of the time.  I suppose that could drive people crazy, not having anyone else around but I enjoy it.  And if [...]
