And then there was Ben...Part XXXII
I have told you about the Ball & Stick game, but now I shall tell you about the game of ‘Catch’ that Ben and I play, and which is the most interesting of them all. Its basics are easily described: I am facing him at a distance of about 6 feet or so, toss him the ball, and he tosses it right back,... Sign in to see full entry.

Naut’s Fabulous Turkey Salad
It’s that time again, isn’t it? What to do will all that turkey...We all have our ways of dealing with the mountains of slightly mangled gobbler, and turkey salad is probably high on the list everywhere. Here’s one of my favourite versions, which is actually a variation on a summer theme. You might... Sign in to see full entry.

A very MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all! If you don't celebrate Christmas, celebrate something else and have a sip of something! Just remember, undiluted water may not be good for you... Sign in to see full entry.

And then there was Ben...Part XXXI
One day it happened. My memory of the first time may be a mélange of several of those moments, but I seem to recall that Ben, having just caught the Frisbee and turning to bring it back to me, suddenly stopped and stared. “What the...” There was a squirrel floating through the grass like a small...

And then there was Ben…Part XXX
Well, there was no show last night at midnight – I guess I was wrong, but at least I admit when I am wrong, *polishing his halo*, LOL. But the dinner was great... So let me tell you about a bit more about Benny and his balls... I have regaled you with the goings-on when we’re walking, but haven’t... Sign in to see full entry.

My End-of-the World Dinner...
In Chichen Itza they’re already celebrating that the World did not end – fools! Of course it didn’t – it won’t end until midnight! As AP reports, “No one was quite sure at what time the Mayas' 13th Baktun would officially end on this Dec. 21. Some think it already ended at midnight. Others looked to... Sign in to see full entry.

And then there was Ben…Part XXIX
If you saw us on our walks, you would notice Ben carrying what is currently a green ball, just a bit larger then a tennis ball, and if you were close enough you might occasionally hear the ball squeak; except that, at times, you’d see me carrying that ball... Why would I be carrying that ball? Well,... Sign in to see full entry.

And then there was Ben…Part XXVIII
We all remember the nursery rhyme of Mary and her little lamb, which, as we also know, is sometimes turned into versions definitely not intended for the nursery... That occurred to me when I was trying to decide if it was even possible to say, decently and decorously, and without having the double... Sign in to see full entry.

I was going to write more about my doggie today...
But I can't. I can barely express the shock and sadness I feel over the death of those twenty kiddies and the others, and those wounded, and the anguish of their parents and loved ones - what a terrible, terrible tragedy! But nothing one can say seems enough... Sign in to see full entry.
