That’s funny. I don’t feel fifty

By Kirk M | Published March 27, 2009

I woke up this morning feeling about like I always do when my dearest Love, who had arisen before me (as usual) and was blasting away at some horrible alien thing on her computer, looked over her shoulder at me and said “Happy birthday honey!”.  At that single moment in time I realized that today [...]

Saved by a Puppy

By Kirk M | Published March 25, 2009

Due to a fat finger in my part while doing the usual PC house cleaning the other day that I’ve been doing for more years than I can possibly remember…

Salvation in a new mattress and box spring set

By Kirk M | Published March 18, 2009

First walk of the season

By Kirk M | Published March 15, 2009

We took our first walk of the season this afternoon. Never knew I’d be so glad to see mud again.
