Today was day 1 of our painting contract. Our guy, Ray, had to be in San Antonio today, so Saturday, he introduced us to his right-hand guy, Saul. Saul said he could do it all in two days. But then, in between, one of Saul’s trucks died alongside a highway. So, Saul called in Joaquin […]
We have so many stories and plans to tell about our townhouse. While we wait for our new home to earn a name, I’m calling it #ANewHome so my Tweets make sense. We closed on the 28th. We took possession on 31st. We’ve spent the last few days deep cleaning (vacuuming air returns, cleaning grills, […]

That is what she prefers I call her: Mother. It’s how she signs the few cards I receive. What a formality for what is supposed to be an innate bond! Bollocks! You know one of the stories of when she was cruel to my grandmother. Today, I learned of another one. Mama Bee saw an […]
My little car, “LG” or “Elle Gee” gave her life for me on Saturday afternoon. I had been out running Hallowe’en errands and was crossing through the last intersection on my way home when I was hit by a Chevy 1500. I did a full 360+ 420+degree flat spin into a Honda CRV waiting to […]
