Recent times have witnessed a great number of changes in the way we live and think. There are things we do today which were unthinkable even a generation or two ago; conversely, there are many things we go without now which our forerunners thought of as necessities. Among the latter, sadly, is our relationship with […]

Well, for all intents and purposes, deer hunting season #1 is over for me (although the season does not close until 31 Oct, I want to spend time with Erin and Maggie, especially since they’ve been gone for 2 weeks). I went out today with a co-worker. We got a good start by being in […]

More hunting stuff?

I had written a much longer version of this post but I heard Erin’s voice in my head: “People don’t want to read some boring tale about your hunting adventures.” Fair enough. So, in an effort to keep it short:

I actually—FINALLY!!!—went hunting (for grouse) yesterday. I’ve been hunting before—twice while still in high school.

*Deli Cat by Sons of Maxwell. I have no idea about this band…just thought the lyric was a good match for the subject matter.
Here’s one for all you cat lovers out there, namely Erin, Erin’s mom, my dad, and Marty (it’s a newspaper article–click on the first word of this sentence). Pay special attention to the […]

Red Cross Pet First Aid

Posted on April 15, 2007 - Filed Under I AM an animal!!! | 1 Comment

I did something yesterday I have been wanting to do for some time: I attended the American Red Cross class on Pet First Aid. This weekend was a good one for me to do something like this because I didn’t have any papers to grade or anything. I guess the thing which drove me to […]

My mother-in-law and I took her cousin to the airport today, about a 1.5 hour drive in normal conditions. The trip down was fine; our return was not nearly so great. Florida has been dealing with some pretty crazy outdoor fires lately and, as a result, part of I-95 North was closed. Well, it just happened […]
