  • After Work Nap

    Millie decided that we should take a nap when I got home from work today. She made her wishes known by planting herself on me:

    I will stand on the plastic thing, so you can’t use it.

  • Millie Claims Her New Home

    So, Millie decided to come home with me after all. She spent yesterday evening exploring and claiming her new surroundings:

    Another fine corner. It will prove useful for my back-scratching needs.

    I can’t take it back. So, if you know anyone who is in need of a ring, send them here

  • Sorry For The Delay

    My laptop hard drive failed Sunday morning. I’ll get caught up on posts this evening. I owe y’all a couple OYB posts.

    Oh, yeah… and Anna and I are done; for good. I won’t be bothering to hide posts/pics this time, though; what’s in the past, is past.

  • New Year’s Eve Party

    I even splurged, and drank the whole glass of sparkling grape juice. Anna made me do it!

    This picture reminds me of another blogger in much the same situation, and who had this to say:

    For all you single guys, let me say this. If you ever find a woman who can juggle a baby, a bottle, and a glass of champagne, and look this good doing it – you marry her.

    For the record, Anna managed all three (except it was sparkling grape juice, not champagne) – and as for marrying her now that I’ve found her: I intend to!

  • Sunset in St. Louis

    We’ve had some great weather recently. This weekend is gorgeous, and tonight we were blessed with an amazing sunset:sunset002_400x300Maybe the start of a photoblogging feature…?

  • What Do You Think?

    Should I adopt Millie?

    millie

    She’s a good cat, in need of a good home. I can adpot her for free.

    Thoughts?

  • Happy New Year!

    And a very happy start to the new year, indeed!

    Of most immediate importance, Anna and I are back together again; taking our time, to figure everything out – but, together. I’m sure I’ll have much more to say later; but for now, I’m just relieved and couldn’t be happier.
