Thank you all for your kind words. It means a lot to both Nancy and me. We certainly ARE due to catch a break, right?

Fevers and Chills and Coughs, Oh My!
Unfortunately, we had a bit of a setback this week. What started out as a runny nose turned into a cough. As instructed, Dan was taking his temperature frequently and it was normal - until it wasn't. At 9:00 pm on Wednesday night, he came into the bedroom and said "my temperature is 100.4". ...
Been a long time, been a long time...
Geez. I couldn't even remember where we'd moved all of our doggerel, cleverness, and ranting when VOX tipped over. Good thing that I remembered to search Nancy Mitchell blog on Google. I could have gone the narcissistic route and searched for my own name I guess. Typepad! Thank you! Scroll... Continue reading

The First Step
Well, I finally did it. Took a step toward what I've promised Nancy would be a focus on doing things. Getting things done. Not obliviously walking past the recycling on the way out the door. Being proactive on household and self maintenance. Doing the things that will make us more... Continue reading

No, No, I'll Do It.
What is it about a work coffee machine that you don't get? Is it the hard-to-find, already-started rip-top bag just above the coffe maker? Is it the hard-to-find coffee filters next to the already-started rip-top bag of coffee just above the coffee maker? Is it the slide-out filter holder on... Continue reading

Really?
"They're for here." It took me a moment to realize the guy was talking to me. I'd just pulled in to the grocery store parking lot with a coupon for half-off deli meat. Shopping too late the other night, the deli had closed, so I figured I'd stop some other... Continue reading

Working Naked
After washing some dishes this morning, I forgot to put my rings back on my fingers. It's amazing how disoriented I feel not have my wedding ring on my finger. The ring on my right hand is a silver interlocking triple band bought on our first trip together in Mexico.... Continue reading

Days Are Like Diamonds
Why that title popped into my mind, I'll never know. I was looking at it as a 'cherish every moment' kind of title - having heard the phrase somewhere before. Then I googled it. John Denver "Some Days Are Like Diamonds." I guess I was right. Sort of. I've been trying to look at this ...
This is another one of those foods that I've never tried - thinking I won't like them. I used to say that about olives of any color or size. Then Nancy made me try some...

I'm All Grown Up - Apparently.
I now eat Brussel sprouts for dinner. With a nice blush rose wine.
Lost at C
Nancy and I recently watched a great 2009 documentary about Hugh Hefner. I learned a lot about the man that I didn't know. Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist, Rebel. I hope you’ve seen it. If you know only one dimension of the man, spend a couple of hours with this film.... Continue reading

I'll take Music for 100 Alex.
I've always been a fan of theme songs. We now watch a lot of DVR shows, so most of the time we skip right past them. But I've always been a fan - right back to The Rockford Files and (embarrassingly enough) The Beverly Hillbillies and My Mother The Car.... Continue reading

Who Are You People? Alt Title: Change My Name
Sent from my mobile phone: I've been sitting in the Social Security office for over an hour, marriage certificate in hand waiting to change my name. This is the first stop today after the getting the official document from the Country Clerk. Next up, if I ever get out of here, will be the DMV an...

I did finally reach a state of clarity! Only after another four hours of mind-numbing boredom and Rug Doctor Juice With Oxywhatever. And thank you for the kindness on line about Nancy. She's the greatest storyteller ever!

My Doctor Visit
In which our intrepid hero rents a Rug Doctor. Now there's a Friday night. You go have fun at Octoberfest with the girls, he said. Here's my list, he said. Friday night rent a Rug Doctor, and Do The TV Room - twice. Then Spot Clean The Dining Room. Easy night, he thought. Run the Rug Doc...
