Dentist said have a tooth that needs to come out but neither of us were in the mood yesterday - so drugs to mess up my head and odd phantom pains to deal with until the drugs remove whatever it is that's causing the weird phantom pains. Needless to say, I'm not in the mood for much of anything. Oh, well. May 12 8am 45 degrees - stretch of ...

Overslept, late start, much to do. Patry has yet another great post. Bernita as well. Month off to a great start - roll on. May 4 8pm 61 degrees - a beautiful day, sunshine, family, little cool, but not bad. Celebrated my oldest son's birthday today, with all of his brothers here and his Grandmother as well. My wife outdid herself with a glorious dinner with lots of leftovers for the boys (and Mom) to take away with them. Great food, ...

Good day yesterday - life is good. Gas is $3.58 here. Trying not to drive as much. Boston Legal just keeps getting better and better. Love that show. Out and at it. Everyone have a great day. April 22 9am 62 degrees - glorious day out there - yet another in this fantastic stretch of weather. Had a great time with sister-in-law from Tacoma ...

Probably be quiet for a few days as Mom is not wi-fi enabled. Plans are to read, relax, flesh out the remaining outline for my WIP and be ready to hit the ground running when I get home. Spring has infused my writing genie with fresh new power ...

Now, into the week - need to make up a little ground - got a little behind. Life is good. March 23 11am 35 degrees - milky white skies, cold but trying. Missed the last 10 inch snow fall - went south of here ...

In March, when I was young, we would celebrate the March Birthdays. Mine, Uncle Jack's (who will be 92?) and my Grandpa Bert. Grandpa was already in his late sixties when I was old enough to spend time at their farm. His farm was different from ours, there were still cows to be ...

Tomorrow and into the weekend - another 5-7 inches are due. The storm that came through Tuesday night left only a dusting of snow - so we dodged that one. This evening, my youngest and I are driving to the big city to see Adrian Belew and the Power Trio perform. For those who frequent this blog, the Power Trio consists of Robin Slick's two children - her son, Erik, is the drummer. Since my ... Ric Marion 2008-03-06T12:47:50+00:00
