Canned Laughter

I hate summer in the Cotton Bowl. Being landlocked in a crowded city where temperatures hover over one hundred degrees is miserable. I don’t want to go out into my garden. I don’t want to drive with the top down. I don’t want to hit golf balls or walk my pooch. I don’t want to [...]

Not going to report on why I’ve been grinning like a fool all day, but if you want to know what we had for lunch, I’m over here today.

A place where no one knows your face
A glass of wine, a soft embrace

Spouse took me to the most thrilling little nightclub the other evening, Scat Jazz Lounge.  We walked past it about three times before finding it.  It’s located at the end of a [...]

Summer is here and I no longer have to wake up at six to get the kids to school.  Spouse had the week off and Bear has Mondays off from work and would be home with his little sister, so we decided to have our date night on a Monday.   Sounds like a plan, but [...]

Yesterday morning we had business in Cowtown, so we decided to stroll over to Sundance Square for breakfast. It was a lovely walk and the weather was fine.
