Three promises
It sounds like a selection at a Chinese restaurant, doesn’t it? “Three Promises: Shrimp simmered in Black Bean Sauce, Steamed Lobster bits with Ginger, and Baby Carrots suffused with Orange Blossoms.” Nuts. Now the Cowboy and I are hungry. Anyway, our Three Promises are far more mundane. This morning I am going to: Investigate the […]
One fine day
April 16, 2010
Sometimes a day goes so right that you can’t imagine how it happened. Certainly a day that begins as Tax Day does not have a whole lot going for it. Add to that the imperative to renew license tabs, and generate reports at the day job, and appear bright-eyed and ready for duty at the […]
Thieves make off with construction materials
April 13, 2010

Pineapple, poetry and Grampa’s Log
April 5, 2010
Think of this as a little spring concerto played on bongos accompanied by the first and perhaps the last of the Dutchmen’s breeches . . . Part I, written on Sunday, in which Pineapple appears I’m invited out to dinner. My contribution is in the oven, and a little glass of pineapple juice is at […]
