Oh goody. More snow.
We had a perfectly lovely walk this morning once we managed to find the road. We are working on a new board game called “Where’s Cowboy?” and spent some time taking pictures for that. It was a fairly monochromatic day, so it was no hardship to go off to the other day job, where I spent […]
It hath snown
December 9, 2009
When Miss Sadie and the Cowboy woke me up this morning, the predicted blizzard was here. We went out to get the paper. So far, so good: my Record-Eagle was in its bright green holder. Dean Peters must drive a tank. I headed back to the house, assuming that the prospect of breakfast would bring the dogs right along […]
OK it’s snowing. Happy?

November 14, 2009

The Monthly Correction
November 7, 2009
Fresh from my humiliation over the State Record Muskie, I am preparing another crow pie. However, this one I’m going to put in the freezer until Norton Bretz gets back from Hong Kong, because he knows more about all this than I do anyway, and I cling to the hope that I’m not altogether wrong, […]
