In The Air

Part One Of Two.

What a relaxing long weekend — part of me feels guilty about sleeping in while Joe goes off to work. Amazingly he manages to get out of bed, shower, do the whole routine without waking me. To bad he’s straight otherwise I’d marry him. Oh, that’s what got him in trouble the last time. Marraige. […]

Quiet Night At Someone Elses Home.

Needless to say, it’s a slow day around this house after last night. Oddly enough Joe was up before 9. Me, later. Brunch was a scramble with the pork and potatoes from the first night and some eggs from today…. you have to love leftovers. This is the day this weekend that we both were […]

Massive Scotch Tasting.

A lazy morning topped by an omelette stuffed with hot cappicola and double cream brie. Of course it was almost noon at that point. Most of the afternoon spent looking for blinds, shopping for booze, and assembling a mixed grill for dinner this evening. Cocktails at 6, dinner at 7 was the plan. After this… […]

Stocking Up On Vitamin D.

Joe offered his truck to me if I wanted to take him into work today (and pick him up). I decided sleeping in was a better idea – that wold focus me to get some more work done during the day to help pay for this trip. This is not to say that there isn’t […]

Everyone’s Flying Today.

Seems like lots of people are flying today: Hummingbird and BamBam are headed to Mexico for two months Jill is headed to Boston (she got an upgrade) I’m headed to Tucson (I didn’t get an upgrade) News from the world of security — from Jill, big lines on both sides of security (but she isn’t […]

Pre-Flight Plan.

I tried to sleep in. I failed. Well, by my standards I failed. No more work on the DVD project… it remains the same stack of uncategorized DVDs staring me in the face, taunting me with their abandoned status on top of my laptop — well — HUH! — I’m taking the laptop with me […]

Weather And New Shoes.

OK — I’ve got two upcoming trips… Tucson starting on Thursday: 71° / 42°   But then going a few degrees cooler — not sure how that bodes for my planned pool time. And then Denver next Tuesday: 37° / 23° And then later that day Estes Park for the Three Bedroom Presidential Condo at […]

Organizing DVDs.

I guess I should have done this sooner. Organizing DVDs that is. Judging from the date on the Access Database of my DVDs it was two years ago or more that I did any changes to what was loaded where. As of the end of today — I’m down to a stack of 40 DVDs […]

Quiet Day Around The Homestead.

Nice to have a day with nothing major on the agenda… occasionally. A quiet day with a little work, a little cleaning from yesterday’s festivities and an afternoon invitation to drink…. wait for it…. champagne. It seems that Fluffernutter and Dancing Bear where having issues finishing a magnum of champagne that they’d opened in an […]

Rosé On Rose.

Happy New Year 2010 — my favorite comment off FaceBook about 2009 was “Goodbye 2009, don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.” Cooking in the morning, company coming from 2-6 for a Rosé on Rose Street afternoon brunch. I had five bottles of Rosé champagne and method champanois — and […]
