Adieu

I cut my finger on a new knife. Not even using it, mind you, just washing the danged thing in the sink. Now there's a fairy princess Bandaid on my left index finger, right at the tip; makes it quite awkward to type. Obviously I'm soldiering on.
This blog may be near its natural end. Topic and timing are converging on that cliff where Thelma and Louise looked at each other and agreed on the abyss.
New direction, new expression.

Boots Again!

Hey, it snowed last night! Looks like a good 4 inches. Too cold and icy for horse-driving, which had been on the schedule. We're off to the farmers market now to buy yak meat for the animals. Really. Then it's looking for soccer socks for M, who is playing indoor soccer with her colleagues this evening. Wowee. We should buy some ankle tape, too.

Let's Do the Time Warp Again


And again and again. When was the last time you thought of these musicians?

Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Robert Palmer, The Cars, BTO

I get to hear them every day in New Mexico! Takes you back a bit. Thankfully there's one (1) station that is firmly in the 21st century and in tune with something close to the cutting edge. So there's variety! Oh, and the English Beat was supposed to play here in December, but they never showed because they were snowed in on the east coast. Big relief for those of us without tickets.

2009 soldiers on. We've been invited to a gala Inaugural Ball (here in SFE) on the 20th, location to be determined...what could that mean? At least much of the snow has receded so one can wear the necessary heels.

When there was oodles of snow, just before Xmas, my little truck got a tad stuck in the snow in our driveway and I had to tuck some rebar under the back wheels for traction. See photos.












Quite something! Bodkin would practically disappear in the drifts. Her clearance is pretty low.

Thinking of the Hukilau tonight. Wonder where you all are?
