  1. I will be 139, a rather unfortunate age, too old to be spry, too young to be decrepit.
  2. Went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends ...
  3. Yeah but you've got spreadsheets and like a challenge. Oh, and it'll make your readers happy.
  4. I like that ...
  5. I presumed it would be. I know the family drinks wine from a wide range of wineries but somehow it just seemed as if a Liston Shiraz would what Ritch would first pour for his friends.

    Chapter 6

    This is an interesting change from the all too common shifters based on predatory species. Thought is rarely given to prey species shifters. I guess because they are presumed to be weak much like gay men are often thought to be weak. I am curious to see where this story goes. Will we find an unexpected strength in Cyn?
  7. It's hell gettin' old ...
  8. Ritch is an anomaly at the Academy, not too many millionaires among the cadet wing. Fortunately he's well grounded and willing to share what he has, just as he's watched his dads and brother do. I've enjoyed the glimpses into cadet life but also those rare moments of downtime. Another enjoyable chapter.
  9. Oh yes you would if you could ...
  10. Oh, a good excuse then to drink an extra pint of Guiness.
  11. Are you saying you don't get drunk on Guiness every day? I suppose every now and then you have a pint or two of Harp.
  12. Now if Marty was doing all that there would be photographic proof of progress.
  13. Yep, second time I've tried without success. Thanks for your help.
  14. Cicely Tyson has died at age 96.
  15. Enjoyed this very much. Thanks Marty for doing what I couldn't. I watched this earlier when it posted on youtube and wanted to share but couldn't seem to get the link to import so I gave up.
  16. Tonights dinner was cheese tortellini tossed in a ragu of shallot, portabella mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, roasted red peppers and chopped black olives. For dessert I made baked rice pudding. It was a cold blustery day so a main dish with deep earthy flavors seemed right and the rice pudding is one of my favorite cold weather comfort foods.
  17. Has the air been particularly cold and dry? I have issues with micro nosebleeds during winter cold spells.
  18. Gee, I hope he was fond of that overgrown tangle.
  19. Howdy Texy.
  20. Ahh, so they finally found you ...
  21. A delayed ... Greetings Albert. It is an up and down day. My heads aches for awhile then eases for a short bit before the ache returns. In between I feel oddly hollow and off tilt. Hope you are well and that Steve's knee continues to improve.
  22. Howdy Texy.
  23. We had leftover beef vegetable soup with crusty ciabatta bread and apple galette.
  24. I sometimes miss the snows of my northern home not however those icy sidewalks. There was one morning just before Christmas when damp spots from the previous day's rain froze briefly on the sidewalks here. An odd experience treading lightly during our early morning walk. Thank you for your words and the remembrances they evoke.
  25. It's always good to have an extra pair of hands when you're bein' busy ... er, I mean hard at it ... uhm, oh bother ... you know what I mean.
