T. Puppy: well, Dad’s been at work all weekend, so I’m bored. He usually takes me for walks and plays ball with me, but he said he needed to earn money to buy my kibble by working all weekend. Kibble must be expensive because he’s been gone until bedtime both days. Hmm…Maybe Dad came home and wanted to look something up on his computer. He left it open, and it has a voice command. He also has an app. that will convert Dogma to English, so all I must do is bark into the comput

d.: Well, the World Series starts tonight. I don’t have a dog in the fight, though. However, there are a lot of ex-Astros on each team, so I think I’ll tune in to my favorite radio host and see what he has to say about it.   Live, from Cut-N-Shoot Texas, it’s the Joe Groan Show, here on KEEP?KEEN Conroe/Cut-N-Shoot. And now, here’s the 138 th  ranked sports talk show host in the northeast corner of Montgomery County JOE GROAN!!   JG.: Oh, oh, oh, oh!! I put in an extra “oh” b

C.: (I think I’ll give d.c. a call and see when he wants to meet to write or bog post (ring). d.: Hi Cal.E. You called at a good time. I’m standing in line at the bank. There are three people ahead of me, so we have…about thirty minutes to talk. Hi, good looking. Can I get your phone number…Wait! This isn’t your number; it’s the number to the sheriff’s department. I know that because I work there! You, and the horse you rode in on, please exit the bank and thank you, come ag

“As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.”― Seneca   d.: I decided to give Cal.E. and the silliness we sometimes have in this blog the day off, and I put one of my favorite quotes from Seneca at the beginning of this blog post to introduce today’s main theme. As some of you who are personal friends of mine and some of you regular readers are aware, I lost my mother earlier this year. I think, though, that her life epitomized Seneca’s

C.: d.c. said that he had a “bit gym day” today, since he’s off work. That’s why he asked me to write the blog post by myself today. I don’t know if he meant that he had a big day at the gym or he was going to a large gym to work out, but I do know that his goal is to look like this guy. That’s okay, because I have a lot to say…... d.c., what are you doing here? d.: Well, the power was on the blink at the gym, so I decided to come home…   C.: And work out at home?   d.: No, I

I mean, I could hear y’all all the way out here in the living room, and y’all had the door closed.   d.: Well, it’s a natural, normal thing for humans to do

C.: Well, d.c. didn’t answer his phone and he hasn’t been around for a couple of day, , so I’ll just check in on him…hmm... It looks like he left his computer open to our  script for today’s blog post. That’s curious, he hasn’t written anything. Maybe I’ll give typing one more try, even though I don’t have opposable thumbs.
