Tom stood in the doorway, bent over, hands on his knees. "Did you almost faint or something?" He shook his head, smiling. Or was it a grimace? "My back. Here…help me." He put a hand on my shoulder and pushed until (groaning the whole way) he was standing up straight. He hobbled back over to the…

…and another reason why I'm glad I live in the country where there's nothing but dirt, rocks and scraggly weeds – apparently rattlers like soft, manicured lawns… (This is video footage from a local news station last night. Manor is just a hop, skip and slither away from us…) http://www.myfoxaustin.com/video/videoplayer.swf

Frankie's chirps and chattering filtered up through the trees from the direction of the pond this morning…but he never goes down to the pond without one of us, so I was a little concerned, thinking about coyotes, raccoons, and other creatures that might consider guinea a delicacy.

A new week starts tomorrow – a week that is going to keep me running from 5 am Monday morning until 4:30 Friday afternoon. Not only do I have the normal weekly challenges, but we're going to go computer shopping (Kendall) and car shopping (me!) And on top of that, I've got the weekend's overflow…

But learning something new is always exciting to me,…

I was attacked by a Chroma-Pop Green Screen at work today – it popped me in the eye! It hurt enough that I applied ice, worried about walking into Kendall's graduation tomorrow night with a black eye. I was trying to fold it up to put it away in its neat little carrying case. According to the video on the…

According to Mystery Man on Film, 32 years ago today, Star Wars was released in only 32 theaters. I don't remember the exact date of my first viewing – what I do remember is my brother Donnie telling me I HAD to see this movie. I think Donnie has only told me I HAD to do…

Chasing dreams, making them come true…Sacrificing your time, traveling to another country to make a real difference in someone's life…That's what two of my fellow 50-year-olds are doing right now. Me, on the other hand…well, I'm living vicariously through them thanks to Facebook and blog pictures and postings because I've spent way too many days…
