A Bountiful Link-Filled Catch-Up
I am fully cognizant of my delinquent blogging — apologies all around. I’ve been in full recovery mode since taking the redeye from SFO to PHL on Friday night. Short observations on that flight? Sucked like a brand-new Dyson 07 with the full pet hair kit. Stupid US Airways. In exchange for my previous silence,…

My household’s run-ins with termites have been well-documented here. I say this because, like Punxsutawney Phil and the Easter Bunny, they’re back for their yearly emergence.

C… Cougar… Courage… Ahh, Here It Is: Cubit.
Sweet merciful crap. The Heavens done opened up and poured down all day and, by the looks of it, we’re in for a lot more. Our back porch is flooded and I don’t even want to know what my basement looks like at this point. Just think if it’d been 12° cooler – oh, the…
