I know, I know – okay? Here’s how it got started – last night, Laura and I were watching videos of cats swimming. It looked like they were having lots of fun. And since it’s been so hot around here, I began pondering whether or not our own cat would like to try out the […]

I was outside clipping my nails in preparation for tonight’s Jiu-Jitsu class. I was halfway though my right hand ring finger when Laura burst through the back door. “Bob, I just saw a moose run down the road!” The camera was already in her hand. I threw the clippers in my pocket and we both […]

Alright folks, I’ve got a short story for you. I’m still kind of tired, so please bear with me as I try to get this out there. You remember when I told you about our diabetic cat, right? Well, as it turns out, he had a small “ordeal” last night. I’ve said on a number […]

And who says Palm Coast, Florida doesn’t have an abundance of wildlife? Not this guy. This afternoon, we were greeted by two, might I say, very healthy looking deer.
