An Alarming Vision

Prior to performing a necessary human function, that of disposing of waste materials of a liquid nature, I happened to notice that there was a humongous long pine needle floating in the waste receptacle.
Me: “Did this come from you?” to Mr. Froth
Mr. Froth: “What?” as he watched the baseball game and UW/Syracuse football game.
Me: “This [...]

Toad interlude

If toads equal “change” or “unsettled circumstances” or general upheaval, perhaps today was my toad relevance.
It was one of those days, which actually are more fun than days of ongoing boredom, where I had to reconfigure everybodies’ schedules. By everybody I mean 27 directors’ plus staff’s meeting times for next week. It was quite intriguing. [...]

Well, not so misty. On the road,“They danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I’ve been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of [...]

Poop Memories

A coworker was telling me about her memory-capturing attempts; she’s writing down snippets from her past for her grandkids and such. As an aside she mentioned that one of the grandrugrats, who is in first grade, decided to start using the restrooms at school this year.
?! And last year? Um, he held it. Bulging bladders [...]

I am the meeting queen. I have set and unset, reset and unreset, re-reset, and will gladly box about the ears anyone who requests an un-re-resetting, so many board meetings today that I have evolved or devolved into a new being.
There’s a new dog in town. The Frothish Setter.

Plus! Toads!

The night I got back home I dreamed of toads. I did.
It was a toad infestation. It was your usual dream where you’re in a room in a building trying to do/find/escape/avoid death/floods, etc. And around the bottom of the windows, below the sills, were what looked to be roly-polies. The little round bugs that [...]

San Francisco

Wow. How ’bout that San Fran traffic, eh? Several genius traffic planners they have there. The ones who move Highway 101 through the middle of the city on old narrow streets. Yeah. That’s some modern technology there.
As we inched our way through the city to eventually cross the very narrow Golden Gate Bridge during the [...]

Back from the Wine Wars

Since as how I don’t have a computer at home tonight all the good gory stuff will have to wait. Not that there was any good gory stuff. Just girly goofy wine diva-ish stuff. None of us were found lying in a gutter covered in men or tire tracks. We all were well-behaved. Plus, everything [...]

Having a great time. Wish you were here. Must go taste more wine.
See ya.

Toads

Oh no, not the toads I had to listen to tonight at the board meeting. The toads that got their happy selves all “wrapped around the axle” about stupid stuff.
I’d never heard the phrase “wrapped around the axle” until the board president described it prior to the meeting, noting that many people like to get [...]
