Amy went to her parents for the weekend. I didn’t feel like driving anywhere to pick up fast food (it’s bad for you anyway) so I made my own supper tonight. I had two ice cream sandwiches and half a bag of Lays BBQ chips. Topped off with an ice cold coke.
Come home Amy…come home…
Why I’m glad I’m married.
Feeling Farmer-ish.
Okay, behind our back fence is a huge field bordered by a dense mini-forest on the far side. The city maintains a right-of-way there so two or three times a year they mow the field. However, near folks back fences they leave a wide swath untouched. In years past I kept our part of the [...]
Remember me.
Remember me he moans. Near the end.
Not surprising. That’s how he lived. Never planned. Never saved. Lived for the day. Lived at the expense of others.
He’s a thief.
What did he steal? Someone’s pay. Someone’s savings. Someone’s treasures. Someone’s dreams.
How would they remember him?
Whose house did he invade? Was someone home? Did he wake them? Did [...]
Almost there.
They ran out of bricks yestersay so the wall is not quite finished. But it still looks good to us.
Above: The space behind the wall will contain the french drain. The water will be collected here and carried underground all the way to the street in front of our house. No more mudslides!

Progress.
Yea! The wall is going up. No more mud flowing into the pool.
Above: This is where my concrete ramp will be built. No more lugging the mower up stairs.
Above: Boulders cut into the hill to create a terraced effect.
Above: Just to show you where we started.
Above: Flower bed Amy and I made last week.
Well, we [...]
Mercy. Please.
Nothing in life is free. You can’t expect to get something for nothing. So we’ve heard. But what if you have nothing to give?
The man was blind- and a beggar. He was just another face in the crowd… part of the scenery. His days were spent hoping somebody would notice him. His life depended on [...]
Momma Mia (not the movie) What a Day!
So we’re having our backyard fixed by professional landscapers. All the “improvements” I engineered during the Spring were a dismal/costly failure. And I can tell you it was no fun un-engineering them. Anyway for the last two weeks we’ve had a crew out back doing all sorts of stuff. Moving dirt. Installing an extensive french [...]
The Lowest Common Denominator
I need saving. He saves.
For a time Peter was walking on water. Then he wasn’t.
Peter was drowning. That’s nothing new for men who make their living on the sea. It’s one of the many hazards of their profession. And Peter was a professional. Do you believe he knew how to swim? Yet, he was drowning. [...]
The (Un)Inspiring (Mis)Adventures of Robojesus
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but… do you really believe he gave “that” up? (TDPV)
In the early hours of a dark morning Robojesus expertly pilots the Robojesuscloud (patent [...]
