Badder than old King Kong meaner than a junkyard dog Shawshank, November 6, 2025 Podrick was really trying this morning. He was really trying so hard to be good. Then he was trying to get up on the nightstand. That’s when he had to go. By then, I was already awake. Mornings are a loud time around here. So I checked the clock and figured it was time to greet the day. I did the morning routine, and turned the coffee on, and fed Podrick in the kitchen and hand delivered Pippin’s breakfast for her in the bedroom. Both kittens were fed and Pippin is currently on my lap, silently watching Podrick do Podrick things. I slept ok last night. Some nights it doesn’t feel too restful. Yesterday I felt very rested. Today, not so much. I mean, I slept. I feel ok, just tired. Until Podrick grows up a little more, I don’t think we’ll have quiet, lazy mornings in bed. That’s ok. He’s still a baby – a 15 year old baby. He looks like a meatball. Back to work this afternoon. Today’s shift, and tomorrows, and well both be on some days off over the weekend. It’ll be filled with laziness, chores, and trying to do as little as possible. And of course Shady Acres. I’ll be finishing the stove chores that we started a couple of weeks ago.

Life American spirit, the smoke and the taillights I guess that I’m in it for more than just one night January 20, 2026 The Beautiful One isn’t feeling well this morning. She sacrificed her well-being to let me sleep in. She had to deal with a hyper-active Podrick, so I could rest. Now it’s my turn to take care of her. I don’t know when she got out of bed. Even when I… Read More
Life Maybe someday the mountain will get them – but the law never will December 29, 2020 Happy Tuesday, my lovelies. I was up a little early – 5:47 thinking I slept through my alarm. When I determined that I hadn’t, I rolled over and went back to sleep until my alarm scared me awake. But like my dad said yesterday, “I woke up on the right… Read More
