The Kitchen Pit
I’m gonna just go ahead right here, right now and make it official (as if that’s really necessary): our kitchen remodel project is our very own version of “The Money Pit”.
The Daily Cap (25)
Down by the boat docks this morning...after a big 4" rain...these guys all have their head underwater... that is except for the one guy that obviously has been hanging out with the marina dog too much...do ducks have ears?
The Daily Cap(s) (18)
Here's one reason I have for not doing personal trainers. Why is it, more times than not, these guys act like they have little time for this and something better awaits them elsewhere? All us poor plokes out here want to do is try to fit back into last summer's clothes....
"Yup...you guys are taking too long! I'm outta here! Go ahead and keep doing what your doing..."

Can this be an accidental, on-purpose coincidence? Scotch (along with the occasional Kahlua for merely the aroma most certainly) and books of garden design and photography...all on the same shelf. Can life be any grander?
The Daily Cap (9)
My cluttered (home) office...is it reminiscent of a clutter mind? I like to think not. Can we say it's just a permanent sign of temporary creativity? All I'm missing are the Royal Scotties that frequent this gem of a sanctuary. It really is kind of an eclectic mix of function, novelty, and mess huh?

I don’t know if the FD & FSIL are gonna do this event today, being the live up there in the “crazy city”.
Nor do I know whether the FS & (pregnant) FDIL will give it a go down this way in the “weird town”.
But whatever they do (or don’t) in the way of public participation in “Scivies Sunday, it does sounds kind of fun and entertaining.
This Event, wherever it’s organized, will/would definitely be a camera/picture/The Daily Cap kind of moment.
Where’s my camera? Could I take pictures of this Event without getting the “creep” label? (I guess that depends on who and what gets photographed…LOL) Read More…
Bee-bopping and Wanna Be Happy
Oh my! If you just listen to the tune, bop your head around, and enjoy the dancing, this will get your Saturday morning going in a catchy kind of way….
But if you listen to and try to understand the words…well… Read More…

Still missing 90 pounds of a life-long investment...much is to be blamed here of late
Just the facts, ma’am
In reading a work-related on-line article about effective presentations, one forwarded from our marketing department with professional development intent I’m sure, I found myself nodding in agreement and chuckling with one particular exerpt…
“Never Let Facts Speak for Themselves
Facts need interpretation. According to Mark Twain, “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” If you don’t believe this, tune in to the next political campaign. People can make facts and numbers mean almost anything. Interpret yours so that your listeners draw the same conclusions you intend.” Read More…

Ironicially, today just so happens to be the Iowa Republican Caucas. I would imagine many political opponents to the former Massachuetts governor can most likely relate to this...this...message. But wait...is this all the Governor's doing towards them? (1/3/2012 during the morning commute @ southbound Hwy121 in Fort Worth)

Favorite “cheese” of 2011
Believe it or not, I’m photo’d out…for the year.
And it has been yet another active year exercising the Canon, FugiFilm, and on occasion, the in-a-pinch iPhone camera.
In looking back at my 2011, I see that I did a lot of birding and flowering with the photos taken (or at least those that are my “favorites”). And I certainly threw in a few sunrise/sunset photos…after all, what would a set of my pics be without those kind of photos?
Take a look – let me know what you think. This has been a fun year and it has taken me several places in order to capture the handful of photos here and there…and along the way.
Some things just aren’t right
I will be picking a fight with my many good family and friends in Kansas with this post. But even so, I think they will admit they’re not accustomed to authentic Mexican/Tex-Mex cuisine.
Found these grocery products on a recent trip to the great state of wheat and sunflowers…next trip up I’m bringing Texas tamales and enchiladas from Silva’s (in Lake Dallas).
So, so, so wrong….(isn’t this really called green peppers in vinegar?)
It’s OK
This YouTube humor finds its way here via the FD and her Facebook post. I discovered that when one laughs out loud this early in the morning, Scottie dogs come a scootin’ to see what in the wide, wide world of Saturday mornings is going on.
Oh yeah, the calming, and, for those of us that struggle mightily with body coordination, condescending voice of one very patient ballet teacher can be quite comforting during those times I call “oh geez”.
Heed her instruction:

In the same festive spirit of the wishful holiday’s good tidings, please consider your culinary endulgence based on the rationale given below…it is a logic that I’ve practiced (perfected) in Christmases past…believe you me:

Learning something
After spending part of my day at a dog park we designed for a City park project; after watching a Yorkie run at top speed (dang they’re fast); after being entertained by an Australian Shepherd (that breed doesn’t know when to call it quits), I came across this and thought…”This I like!” (from this: http://www.joke-archives.com/allineed.html)

Just another one of those camera quirks
Mailboxes! I seek them out…I take pictures of them…homeowners can sometimes get rather concerned with me stopping in front of their house and doing so….
Don’t ask me why, but I strangely have a picture collection of these receptacles of both good and bad news. And lately during my travels (through neighborhoods timmay? really? that’s “travel”)….I’ve come upon several worthy of adding to my photo collection: Read More…
