Being an adult really sucks

I write this tonight with a very heavy heart. Yesterday, while playing in the front yard, Wilson tore his ACL (a ligament in his back left leg). The vet is telling us the only two options are to operate on him, the cost of which will be roughly $2000, or to put him down. Erin […]

Erin does a pretty good job of being open-minded when it comes to new foods. Maggie will be three soon, so she is the picture of willingness to explore different things. I, on the other hand, am old before my time and always have been–I don’t like trying new things. I still remember my Dad’s […]

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 […]

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 hunted by myself both days this weekend. My co-worker, JC, was not able to come […]

I actually—FINALLY!!!—went hunting (for grouse) yesterday. I’ve been hunting before—twice while still in high school. I didn’t get anything back then and had only one occasion on which to fire my borrowed rifle. Since then, the opportunity to go again just hasn’t come up; even if it had, my stupid foolish pride would have kept […]

Because of our new additions, it’s beginning to feel a bit like this around our house.

*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

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 […]
