Same situation today. In a hurry. Gotta run. Well, not the same. I don't feel pretty today. I ate spaghetti last night and followed it up with a pint of chocolate ice cream. I feel like Fido's...

As I write this, I am eating a slice of one of those cinnamon buns that fellow was selling at the grocery store. We went shopping yesterday, and Ili felt sorry for him. She said he didn't seem...

Sorry. I just love photos like this one. I don't know why, really, except it is a way our eyes never see. It is like coming back to consciousness after sleep or getting knocked out. I guess most...
