Ol' Roosters Life and Times

Where did my weekend go? Why am I not off today? I was off the last two Monday’s. Who set that alarm clock to ring so early? These and other questions beg to be answered on this early Monday morning. I guess all is not bad. I am awake. The good Lord has seen fit to give me another wake up and that’s... Sign in to see full entry.

It is a great Friday. I am ready to "frolic" all day long. I swear the weeks when I have Monday off seem much longer than the five days weeks. This week has also been bad because we had to put my poor cat, Annabelle, down. She’s frolicking in Heaven right now I am sure. Do animals go to Heaven? I... Sign in to see full entry.

I stayed up to watch the end of the LSU game last night. So I did not get a whole lot of sleep. I feel fine though. Even after I lay down it took me a bit to get to sleep. I guess I was keyed up like the players. The final score was 41-14. It was tied at fourteen late in the second quarter. LSU took... Sign in to see full entry.

We are having some pretty heavy rain as I write this. It has been raining for a while. I am sure my backyard will be one big mud puddle and my Suzie Q. dog will be in heaven when she goes out again. Speaking of heaven, I miss my Annabelle cat. The rain will continue through the night and stop in the... Sign in to see full entry.

It has been a long time since I woke up at home in the morning without my Annabelle here. This morning is the first morning to do that. I miss her to lot already. I did not sleep well last night. I woke up late, but I have caught up pretty well. I will be fine. It is 48° this morning. The high today... Sign in to see full entry.

My wife is even sadder! This afternoon, right after work we had our calico cat, Annabelle, put to sleep. She had gone down fast in the past few days. She had detached retinas as a result of some severe hypertension. She also likely had a tumor on her thyroid gland which caused the whole mess. We... Sign in to see full entry.

I had thought about calling this blog, "Second Day Of The Year", and tomorrow’s blog, "Third Day.....", and so on and so on. I imagine that would have been pretty irritating to all. So I will just hang some goofy headline up on top and be done with it. I do realize that the headlines we put on our... Sign in to see full entry.

This first day of the year was a great one for us. We had a great time and it was a fun day. I won’t go into all the sordid details, but I just wanted to relate we had fun. The wife and I went to see "The Good Sheperd" with Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie. It was a good movie. At times it was a bit... Sign in to see full entry.

Rain! It’s on the way. We got a brief respite from the arid and drought conditions a few weeks back, but then it was more dry weather. We should get some rain today. It will be in the form of thundershowers. So it might fall quickly. That’s not too bad. We will take what we can get. I had a pretty... Sign in to see full entry.

Yes, it’s gone. I left it in the living room several nights ago as I watched some football on TV. I had the radio on to listen to another game and some news on the radio. Now, it’s just gone. I have had other things disappear from the house. My wife and niece have things that they can’t find either.... Sign in to see full entry.
