The Daily Cap (44)
Ran into some old friends tonight. I didn't even have to ask, but I did...they're doing just fine

Is there not just something peaceful...about a reflecting sunset...on the simple architecture of the steeple...atop the Oak Ridge Baptist Church of Hudson Oaks, Texas?

Damn you, you ol' buzzards...sitting around, all perched in your tree like you're waiting for something dead to happen. Get a life! (instead)

Leafless trees silhouetted against a sunrise or sunset do it to me every time. This, along with news from home gave some calm to the end of an emotional day...

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..."
The kitchen is where it usually begins
Only 3 weeks out of debt for having remodelled the master bedroom and bath, and now look what we’ve done. Cabinet missing, fur-down gone, wallpaper striped, popcorn off the ceiling, holes overhead still in need of patching, insulation everywhere, the smell of (sheet rock) joint compound in the air, ladders poised for service, and a hammer – you gotta have a hammer – on the counter.
It’s about getting re-acquainted with the banker all over again…and the unsettling disruption to my morning coffee routine. Read More…

With so much going on at daybreak - geese flying, fishermen fishing, the sun a rising, a chilly nip to the morning air - am I the only one that likes to, as the day awakens and a sunrise warms your face, plug in the headphones and listen to the "String Quintet In e Major: Minuet"? Oh yeah, see there, I figured as much....

I'm still trying to find something wrong with this morning's sunrise, and I just can't...not even on this, a Friday the 13th

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?

Still missing 90 pounds of a life-long investment...much is to be blamed here of late

It can sometimes be loney when you stand too far out from the crowd (1/4/2011: southbound IH35W, south of Denton Texas)
We were Boxing
Yes, reluctantly I admit I’ve been around a while. I have seen things, experienced things. I have appreciated many things and regretted things more than I ever thought I would. But after yesterday, the first-time thing I was a part of was Boxing Day. And I am glad.
Dear friends Ettore and Oona invited us to a Boxing Day celebration last night. Since Oona is a Brit, this holiday is very much a part of her heritage. But regardless of the occasion, our two friends always welcome us into their home with a warm embrace. They are the epitome of a gracious host. Last night was special.
Unsure of what a Boxing Day night of celebration held in store (but I do now), we readied ourselves for good food, conversation, and fun at the very least. The evening was an absolute delight. Seeing our friends surrounded by their long-time friends – no, that should more appropriately read as ” their long-time family” – did nothing more than keep a smile in my heart all evening long.
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:
To be jolly
Now if you just so happen to watch the video, and you don’t catch yourself smiling, then I’ll come see you to massage that hardened heart of yours. It is, after all, the season to be jolly. So be it! Stop it with the political moaning, employment groaning, life-is-not-fair bellyaching, and the unsociable Facebooking for but a few minutes…and sing a Christmas song, for crying out loud, that might make others smile for all the right Godly reasons.
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…
Rolling
The more I sits and try to figure it all out, this just gets too funny. From Doghouse Diaries website (http://thedoghousediaries.com/)…the jury is still out on my personality, gang:
