With the best of intentions

Thanks for all the enthusiasm over our adoption of Archie. He is a good dog, but unfortunately, he is not our good dog. In short, MacIntosh was going to kill him.

There goes my baby, she knows how to rock and roll

Mom and I were talking about "our" words a while back.  It’s something Elizabeth Gilbert talks about in Eat Pray Love - if I recall correctly, she has a friend who believes that every city and every person has a word that describes them or sums them up.  It’s "their" word.  Mom asked me what [...]

Equal Time Request - Fulfilled!

Marissa wants equal time for Tosh. Ah, I am in an accommodating mood this week (maybe it’s the turkey). So. Not quite so many photos, maybe, but very cute.
