Monthly Archives: August 2007
three hours of primordial, hot and sweaty, stripped down to the bare kernel of our being, togetherness.
We’re not going to starve this winter, thanks to my good friend, Larry Clements, who grows sweet corn by the bushel. Susie and I spent 3 hours last wednesday morning ‘putting up’ 10 dozen ears of corn. That explains the title … Continue reading

Okay, so I’m not what’s his name.
I’m having a Senior moment here. I know he runs around with Babe the blue ox, but his name has completely slipped my mind. Daniel Boone, maybe?? No, that’s not right. Any way, I don’t think any of his lumberjack … Continue reading

I expect the Harley Hotel folks are celebrating.
I remember back in the last century when Leona uttered her ‘little people’ remark. Now I wonder how she would have felt knowing that her obituary (and her legacy) is to be known as the queen of mean.)

A monumental day…..
Since my diabetes diagnosis a few weeks ago, I have been trying to shape up some so I don’t have to take medicine to control my sugar. I also went to a dietician to see if I could find out … Continue reading

Who is this woman and is “star” an adjective or her first name?
And what is it she does?? I see her picture in all the checkout lanes and now she’s in my damn newspaper. I can’t even turn to Dagwood or Funky Winkerbean without having to get by her.
