Found out today I’ll be a great-uncle for the second time. Kid is due sometime around Nov. 22. I need a rocker, cane and front porch.

First Day of Spring
It was a little chilly and blustery, but not bad. The best part was all the bright sunshine, which came after early morning thunderstorms which woke me up around 4:30 a.m. with two big loud thunderclaps. We took the dog to check out Bird Hill Park, which is supposedly the largest in AA, but parking...

Because I was in the middle of a bunch of things, I’m belatedly posting this: «We are all Madrileños» …
Redesign Pretty Much Done
The site redesign, which took me two laborious weeks, is for all intents and purposes finished. How I’m gonna keep up all these ‘blogs, I dunno, but it’s a nice concept and let’s me do some different creative things, especially writing for writing’s sake. It’s cold and snowy.

Farewell, Artemis the Sweet
The rainy weather here in Ann Arbor is appropriately weepy this morning. It is with a very heavy heart that I have to note the passing of Artemis, the sweetest, most wonderful black lab in the world. Artemis’ dad, Don, called me this morning from Oklahoma City with the news that she left us Friday...
