A Tax On Me!

Do you know what tailors’ charges really are?
A tax on small people.
Do you know what dry cleaners’ charges really are?

Weekend Round-Up

It’s been a great weekend. It all started on Friday at lunch when Larry, convinced that in order for my new red blood cells to really do their thing they needed more iron, took me to lunch at Shanahans. Lunch is not so much a meal there as an experience, and it was several hours [...]

Spring Sunday

It was sunny most of the day, there were even birds singing during church this morning, and sunlight was pouring through the windows when we ate dim sum, and it was certainly beating down on our backs as we brought groceries home, but the minute we got inside the [...]

City Soundtrack

I’ve got a 20 - 30 minute walk to work each day, so my iPod has become invaluable in blocking out the noise of traffic, idiots talking on their phones, children screaming on their way to school and other assorted city sounds. I was getting a little bored with just shuffling my songs though, [...]
