Little Hunters…

Posted on February 17, 2015 by A Dreamer

If you are squeamish about cats doing what they do, or small woodland creatures inside suburban homes, go ahead and close the tab – I won’t mind. This was Carmen (or San Diego as she was known) when she was just a … Continue reading →

Happy Snow Day!

Posted on February 17, 2015 by A Dreamer

And Happy Fat Tuesday as well!  (I didn’t realize this until this morning when I started seeing Carnival pictures all over the place – I thought it was later this year.)  So, go have a pancake. We got around 5″ of snow, … Continue reading →

$500 Million

Posted on February 11, 2015 by A Dreamer

My heart is just broken for the friends and family of Deah Barakat, Yusor Abu-Salha, and Razan Abu-Salha.  I hope they can find justice and peace. So much beautiful potential, just gone.

Must…Dissect…Big…Game…

Posted on February 2, 2015 by A Dreamer

Yeah, I did have the game on, and it wasn’t until the last 5 minutes that I realized that damn, I wanted the Seahawks to win.  That being said, the only explanation for that terrible play call at the end is that he decided that … Continue reading →

It’s Superb Owl Day!

Posted on February 1, 2015 by A Dreamer

And honestly, I’m more invested in the Puppy Bowl than the Big Game. It’s not that I’m anti-Big Game – I just don’t really care about either team, which makes it hard to get excited for the game. I’ve enjoyed the run-up … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday, Langston Hughes
