I try to remember my friends preferences when they come to my house with any regularity. But alas, I cannot remember everything, and usually end up forgetting big stuff. But I try. Then again, maybe remembering the trivial stuff isn’t all that important. Nonetheless, the saga of the coffee last […]
Last night I had a rather humorous conversation with FKGuy. We were in the car and were talking about my visit to the vet earlier that morning with Babka. I’m not sure where it went really off track, but I will summarize for you. By the way, you may notice […]
This past weekend was a good time from start to finish. It has left me completely exhausted and badly in need of another weekend. ASAP. It happens that we find ourselves sitting next to people in restaurants that leave me laughing – either at them, with them, or both – […]
