Yes, I made my Monday at work. I just really don’t like them. This was not a bad Monday, but then they are all pretty bad. I have made it though and tomorrow is Tuesday and I feel like I am moving along with the week. That is a very good feeling. We will have rain in this area again. It rained a...

I was assigned to do an article on women’s shoes by the editor of the local magazine I write for. And it has been quite an education. I never took the time to really understand the choices in women’s shoes. Now, I know the difference between all types of shoes and why the ladies have to have so many... Sign in to see full entry.

LSU’s 70-60 Regional Final win over Texas in the NCAA basketball tournament is a bit surprising. I know I had predicted a 63-57 LSU victory yesterday. But that was with a bit of hope in it because I am an LSU fan. Also, the game was tied at 52 after regulation and LSU pulled away in overtime. So at... Sign in to see full entry.

I just can’t stand Monday’s. I will be fine though. It’s just part of the deal. I sent a long article and a short... Sign in to see full entry.

First of all I will to get some breakfast for all of us. We have a wonderful little deli about two blocks from where we live. I will... Sign in to see full entry.

The NCAA basketball tourney began in earnest today. LSU beat Iona 80-64 after trailing at the half by 5. LSU played pretty well. They will need it for the second round game on Saturday. I love the games. This is just the most fun thing that can go on for me. There are 16 games today and tomorrow.... Sign in to see full entry.

I am up at my usual early time. I am writing a bit. Then it will be time to get my dogs and cats fed. I will feed myself. After that I will dress for work and head that way. That’s the plan, Stan, for this lovely and wonderful morning. It’s 62° and mostly cloudy. We will stay that way for most of... Sign in to see full entry.

Today is Hump Day. And I think I have gotten over the hump for the week. I like Wednesday nights. I stay up a bit later tonight doing some fun things. Well, fun things for me. I will listen to the XM Satellite Radio for a bit tonight. I think I will listen to some folk music. That’s always a... Sign in to see full entry.
