So it’s 107 degrees outside today. Kind of incinerated my outdoor Saturday plans. My internal AC isn’t working as well these days either. I figured there must be something good on television. Oh look! A movie about a girl who moves to Manhattan to chase her dream job. Don’t mind if I do! Rats, it’s got commercials.

Quite often during a shoot-out scene in a movie, a shooter will run out of ammo and just throw the gun. Two thoughts always come to mind: It’s a lot easier to dodge a gun than a bullet, so it’s pretty ineffective as a weapon at that point. Dude. It’s still a good gun. They don’t grow on trees. You will regret that later. But … Continue reading Gun Control
Traveling the mind-numbing expanse of I20 that connects Dallas and Midland, I am taken aback by the beauty and unexpected art that lies just beyond Sweetwater.

When I was in first or second grade, I learned my times tables. Each week was dedicated to a number. Week One was 1 Xs, Week Two was 2 X.s, etc. Side note: Actually, “learned” isn’t exactly right. I’m not sure I learned anything. I have this cool skill of memorization. I have always been great at memorizing stuff… doesn’t mean I actually grasp … Continue reading 50-something
Oh Insomnia… you BITCH! I’m gonna write your number on a bathroom stall. That’ll teach you. Continue reading Revenge
I have discovered that the summer after becoming an Empty Nester is delightful! I could say that I never really appreciated having noisy kids over at the house, but that would be a lie. I always loved it, and missed it when it was gone. Someone recently asked me what I thought about having kids. Was it worth it? Would I do it again if … Continue reading Full House
Cats are terrific. Out of the blue, they will bring in a snake to take your mind off your troubles. Continue reading Purrfect Solution
