Canned Laughter

My morning started with good intentions. I was up and at the computer first thing with the intention of writing the three or four posts I needed to crank out before I’ll be caught up. I thought I’d spend a quick 30 minutes noodling with my template, then get right to it. Six hours and [...]

Last night when I came home from work, Spouse had made a good dinner AND he cleaned all the dishes after. Next he took me to the driving range to hit a bucket of balls, then to the record shop to replace my favorite Dino CD that I can’t find anywhere. The remainder of the [...]

I have a renewed mania. Golf. There was a time before I was married when I practiced faithfully, muddled through private lessons even in the most sweltering heat, and just generally enjoyed the game.
