I have absolutely zero feelings regarding whether the roll of toilet paper is supposed to be installed over or under. However, double parked vehicles blocking available legal parking will probably be my trigger if I should ever totally lose my sh*t. I’m at a stage in the aging process where I believe liberally applied moisturizer … Continue reading Randoms – February, 2019

Where Hepburn and Tracy trysted
Trysted. What a word! Sometimes the state of language distresses me...folks don’t respect it enough to spell it or speak it correctly and the words we’ve added to English just don’t seem to have added much really. Like “hooking up,” for instance. But, I digress. Let’s get to where Hepburn and Tracy trysted! During my … Continue reading Where Hepburn and Tracy trysted

I’ve been too captivated by my companion(s) to get … Continue reading Three current crushes…November edition

Last Friday, the rain came … Continue reading Stormy weather
