Hound Dog
Reference Well, I said that I would tell you what was keeping me away from the blog, so here it is. Actually, it is more than one thing. I have been very busy at work, so coming home to sit at the computer to write some more isn’t high on my list of things to…

Fairground

Paralyzer
Reference About a month or so ago, I took a gander at our dishtowels, and thought that we could use some new ones around here. The towels are starting to show some wear after being used and going through the laundry about every week or so for about ten years. Besides, since moving into this…

The Waiting Game
Reference Last time, it was my father. This time, it is my mother. Most of the past week has been spent waiting for and/or worrying about my mother.
