I did *something* to my left knee at the end of last week. Not sure what. I don't remember anything specific, but I woke up on Saturday morning with shooting pains in the shin. I thought that was the issue, but as the morning went on, I realized the actual problem was on the outside/back … Continue reading Well, That Puts a Limp in Things
It was pretty quiet last week. There's not a lot going on here at the moment. Summer is winding down, and autumn begins later this month. I will be heading outside to start doing some garden prep for the coming winter, but even that isn't going to be too intensive this year. Since most of … Continue reading All’s Quiet on Every Front
There is a definite nip to the air most days now. Not that I am complaining, mind you. Much as I like warm weather and dislike the really cold, this has been, overall, a not that great summer. It was either hot and humid, or raining, or both. So, now that we are seeing some … Continue reading Fall Is Definitely in the Air

So, I spent most … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts: A Day Late

Clemson Team Entrance One of the best things about Autumn is the changing colors of the leaves. And … Continue reading Wednesday Wanderings: Deaf HS Football Team, Clemson’s Team Entrance, Pretty Foliage Places in New England, and Massive Chinese Traffic Jam
Ah, fall is in the air! And so are footballs! I am quite happy to admit that I am a sports fan. I like most sports, but football is a favorite. Our Sundays will now be filled with the Green Bay Packers, the Oakland Raiders, TV, and football food. Can't think of a better way … Continue reading Monday Musings: Football is Back, Two Chili Cook Offs (with Zombies), Fall, and Food
It has gotten decidedly chilly lately. Not quite freezing yet, but the overnight temps have dropped into the thirties a few times. The tomato plants in the garden have pretty much given up, along with the cucumbers and squash. I have a few beans on the vines, and the carrots are still going. The peppers … Continue reading Monday Musings: Garden’s End, Puppy Days, Italian Markets, and Football
