I Know How Noah Felt
Have I mentioned how wet it is around here lately? It is getting more and more difficult each day to find a piece of land above the water to walk Buddy on. As you can tell by my photo of the day, Buddy is not too bothered by it.
Speed Shopping
Back in the day, when I was married, I liked to do my Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve. I am not really sure why that is. The fact of the matter is that I have never been a big fan of Christmas, so I guess I just like the pressure. Maybe I just enjoy watching everyone else freak out, while I know I will do just fine. These days, I do not always have the luxury of waiting until the last minute because other people’s schedules are now involved. My photo of the day for day 354 is of the …
Reindeer Down
Yes, this non-stop rain and wind is taking its toll on some of the neighbors Christmas decorations. We are supposed to have two more days of this stuff, so we will see who puts up the most durable decorations. My photo of the day is of Buddy checking on the welfare of a local Christmas decoration.
Christmas Neo-traditions
One Christmas, when my daughter was a young girl, she informed her mother and I that she did not want any Christmas presents and that she would prefer if we bought gifts for the less fortunate. Now, this was not just some idle rambling made by a pubescent teen, she actually ended up getting her entire high school behind this idea and she got a massive number of toys donated to LA County Medical Center, and the tradition carried for several years. She may not know it, but it caused me to start my own tradition. My photo of the …
How Much Wood?
I broke down and bought myself a Christmas present this year. I am not sure how long it will last, but with all my travel it should last through the year. My photo of the day for day 351 is the answer to the age-old question to how much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could, in fact, chuck wood. About a cord.
Kick Up Your Heels
I often tell passersby that Buddy has never met a day he did not like. Granted, there may be the occasional rainy morning, but he still is more excited about them than I ever am. My photo of the day number 350 is of Buddy, kicking up his heels, in celebration of a new day.
That is a real good dog
I love that I can leave Buddy tied to a pole at a busy intersection and he just chills. No separation anxiety with this guy. My picture of the day is of Buddy kicking it on Hawthorne Blvd while Tanya and I wait for our order.
Invasion of the Christmas Leprechauns
As Buddy and I were taking our morning walk, I was alarmed to see that the neighborhood appears to be under some sort of an invasion. Judging by the size of the invaders combined with all the clover around them, I came to the conclusion that these must be Christmas Leprechauns. My photo of the day for day 348 is of a contingent of the invasion force.
For Those That Missed It
I have visited flyover states this time of year, and I can understand how you might forget what a sunny, blue sky looks like. For you, my photo of the day for day 347 is of Mr. Sun and me, on my Monday morning walk, December 13. Enjoy.
My Little Biker Babe
Since I purchased the new Limited, Tanya has begun riding more with me and takes longer rides. Unfortunately, sometimes the rides can be a little tough on her due to her RA. I was planning on taking her to Chopperfest on Sunday, but by Friday she was hurting to the point that she decided she would stay home. By Saturday evening she decided that if I gave her a proper massage, she would be able to make it. My photo of the day for day 346 is of Tanya and I at Chopperfest. As you can tell by the smile, …
