The dishes are washing, the leftovers are cooling in the fridge, and the fire has turned to a few glowing coals. There was some hope that Dad might come home yesterday night, but the doctors ended up keeping him at the hospital. We still don’t know exactly what’s going to happen. Yesterday, my friend L [...]

I’m exhausted. There’s no news to report. My parents never did get to meet with the heart surgeon. Hopefully the surgeon won’t be as tied up tomorrow and will be able to talk to my parents. I appreciate all the positive thoughts and kind words to my earlier post. I know that people have heart [...]

I got a call from my sister about an hour ago. Dad went in for his angiogram this morning – now he’s being admitted to the hospital for at least a few days. What Jessi told me (Mom wasn’t up to calling everyone) was that of his four heart valves, one didn’t even show up [...]

So I was watching my sister’s copy of Mists of Avalon last night and it was driving me absolutely batty trying to figure out where I knew Edward Atterton, who played King Arthur, from.

Dammit! Ethan (Brat Boy Bulletin) pointed out that there are only 40 days left until X-mas. Officially, my only X-mas gift responsibility family-wise is my brother-in-law Patrick. We draw names for the holidays so that we can focus on getting a few quality gifts rather than 20 crappy ones. Anyway, I was planning to go [...]

In my front yard this morning Yup, it’s officially busy at Bob’s Event. My staff all started this week, so trying to get them trained, keep them occupied, and keep up with my own work is a nightmare. Met with the city’s parks department yesterday. Everything’s going to be fine regarding Pride next year. Maybe [...]

Happy Birthday *-*-*ldyheron”> and *-*-*anomster”>!

Yesterday, an editorial [...]
