Fanatic of good music, clever writing, goofy dogs, snowy weather, and weird people. Never thought we'd have to conquer fascism in my lifetime, but here we go!
Ok, we have sweet expressions for someone for whom we have great affection, like "bee's knees" (cute for its rhyme and use of the long e) and "cat's pajamas" (cute for its absurdity). But what of our other favorite animals? Dogs? Birds? Cows? Frogs? What say you?

1.5 logs left to chainsaw from my truckload delivery & I get swarmed by bees from a ground nest. Grrr.

Trying to help make a playlist for our volleyball league for the next day it's raining a lot. Theme: cats & dogs. Give me your best songs about either or both, please!

Happy Mom's Day to all the great moms out there. To all whose moms are no longer with us, may the memories & wisdom live through you.

My son bought a jersey for me & one for himself when he saw a Rayo Vallecano match during his trip to Madrid. I think I'm raising a good kid.

Great Vermont experience today. I was home relaxing after a looooong school day when the doorbell rang (a rare occurrence here). A nice gentleman I didn't know was at the door. He apologized right away for accidentally knocking over our mailbox in an attempt to turn around in the driveway's mouth.
