I took these photos while I was out and about…
We had a lot of rain because of remnants of Hurricane Fay. When I was sitting in my car at lunch on Monday, I noticed the rain on the windows looked a bit like some of Claude Monet’s paintings. (A hat tip to my husband who, [...]

Sick!

You know how I was having a low-energy day last Saturday?
It turns out I was getting sick.
Last Monday, I felt awful. I didn’t feel much better as the week went on. But because it was a busy, busy week at work, I held off going to the doctor. Today I went to the Take Care [...]

Thursday afternoon, my dad called to tell me that his friends Larry and Birdie had just spent 45 minutes or so visiting with my sister, brother-in-law and nephew.
Larry and Birdie are from North Carolina, but drive trucks for FedEx. My sister and her family live in Montana. Until today, when Larry and Birdie had a [...]

Living dangerously…

Because the bulb for my right-turn signal is burned out, I had to use the bicycle hand signal for right turns on the way home from work today.

The only problem is that I was driving my car in rush-hour traffic. In Atlanta.
I’m lucky I lived to tell the tale.

Comment problem

For some reason, the comments were off on my tropical depression Fay post. As far as I can tell, I didn’t “fiddle” with any settings. I’ve fixed it now. I think.
Isn’t technology grand? :)

This is what I saw.

I took this photo at 6:10 Wednesday evening. When I went into Curves about 30 minutes earlier, the sky was filled with HUGE puffy, dark clouds like the ones at the bottom of the photo.
The new Sky Watch Friday Mister Linky will be posted at 3:30 p.m. eastern Thursday afternoon. Or [...]

After several truly wordless Wordless Wednesdays in a row, today I’m going to be QUITE wordy.
I promised I’d post the photo that was accepted into a juried photography show after the show ended. Here it is.

Ed went to pick it up yesterday. Before he took it off the display, he took this photo.

Next stop: our [...]

Fox loves me…

This morning, Fox nipped at me when I had the audacity to take away some of “his” food… no matter that the food in question was a SweeTart Ed accidentally dropped while making my lunch.
I yelled at him, telling him in no uncertain terms it is NOT O.K. to nip at me for any reason. [...]

He’s exhausted. And relieved. And probably at least a bit sad.
I know this (or I have a pretty good idea, at least) because in 1996 I worked at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
How I (and many other college students) got the opportunity is a bit of a long story. The short version is my college [...]
