It was a pretty day. A little on the brisk side — there was a chance for snow flurries! — but brisk doesn’t bother me. It’s March. It’s supposed to be brisk. I felt like going out, then I didn’t have anything I wanted to do, so I ended up going to Mt. Rose CemeteryContinue reading “Gone for a Walk”
Albert, a Cat
One of my oldest friends texted me this afternoon. Had to put poor Albert down today. She had a mass in her lungs. Albert. Oh, Albert. Albert was my friends’ cat. Sort of. Or she’d become their cat. If you’ve ever owned a cat, you know how that goes. Albert — and yes, Albert wasContinue reading “Albert, a Cat”
Minty, Milky Goodness
So, I was at the grocery store the other day. I needed a corned beef brisket, since St. Patrick’s Day was at hand. I waited too long and felt lucky to get the penultimate brisket at Weis Market. I also needed coffee creamer, so a trip to the daily aisle was called for. And thereContinue reading “Minty, Milky Goodness”
Friday Night in Towson
Friday night, Carbon Leaf played The Recher in Towson. This show had been on my radar since it was announced earlier in the year, but I didn’t buy my ticket until a week before.

Where No Bounty Hunter Has Gone Before
I saw this on Facebook this afternoon. Star Trek. Boba Fett. Star Trek: Boba Fett. Let’s interrogate this. A typo, obviously. But! Imagine for a moment. Boba Fett, the galaxy far, far away’s greatest bounty hunter, tossed through time and space into the 24th-century where he has to do what he does best to survive,Continue reading “Where No Bounty Hunter Has Gone Before”
Adventures in Laundry
This is what I saw when I went to do laundry. And, of course, four of the seven dryers in the laundry room were broken.
Some Perspective
I love listening to Howard Bryant on Weekend Edition Saturday, but damn, that fridge got thoroughly nuked.
Go Home Winter
Sixty degrees the last couple of days. Sixty degrees by the middle of this week. But today? Today I woke to this mess. It got warmer today than it was supposed to, so there’s been a lot of melting. I went out earlier and used a brook to clear the snow off my car. GoContinue reading “Go Home Winter”
Meanwhile on Sesame Street…
We do not talk enough how Elmo brought in the Daleks to take care of his “Rocco Problem” permanently…
