Putting the TMI in absentminded

  • Early This Morning

    At about 2:30 this morning, my dog went into a state. He paced, he barked, he had the tornado tongue. Only, there was no storm. Still during storms he finds solace in the little bed in the guest room. We were snuggled there when the house shifted. The very moment it happened, Gary had rolled…

  • Free the Weiner!

    I know I can’t be the only one who feels this way. You may not feel this way, but I know I do. People need to lighten up on Anthony Weiner. Let the Wiener GOOOOO. Think. You are a boy named Weiner. The worst thing you can do is take yourself seriously. Your sense of…

  • Bullets on A Sunday Evening

    Well, Wilma is ensconced in Ken’s motorized recliner, the hibiscus was never purchased, and Wilma pointed out no one would be watering it anyway.

What stress do I have?” I realize our families differ, but in MY family having your…

  • Seismic

    I didn’t have to wait for the elevator on the way home Tuesday. It was there waiting for me. I hit the button to go to the ground floor. I waited. Peeked outside. No one else was waiting. I looked at the panel to see if “Lobby” was illuminated. No. “Seismic” was illuminated. “I have…

  • News From the Past: Cairo Gets A Pyramidoscopy

    A very special  news story: They’ve sent a camera robot into the Great Pyramid at Giza to investigate some smaller chambers and shafts. The camera looked left and right and saw some red hieroglyphics on what were “previously considered airshafts”: They’ve sent a robot through those shafts before and made a documentary of it, which…
