She likes it!

Posted on September 16, 2020 by A Dreamer

The LilyMonster seems to definitely like being able to hang out with us on the porch. Of course, no sooner did I finish this than we’re not going to have a day above 80 degrees for the next 10 days … Continue reading →

Posted on September 13, 2020 by A Dreamer

The LilyMonster can hang out on the porch with her people! And has actually used it! This was the screen insert when it was done – the black bit is gaffer tape on both sides that I just cut an … Continue reading →

Tiny disappointment.

Posted on September 7, 2020 by A Dreamer

So, yesterday I cooked up some pork tenderloin with the jerk seasoning I found a few weeks back. It was good – but not what I remember my Mom making. Dammit! My Mom wasn’t making her own white-people-no-spice version of … Continue reading →

Happy Labor Day! Thank a Union!

Posted on September 7, 2020 by A Dreamer

Every industry in this country needs a union. Every. Damn. One. I’m not a recent convert to being pro-union by any means. I remember way back at the start of my career watching the uncompensated overtime with no comp time … Continue reading →

Thwarted!

Posted on September 6, 2020 by A Dreamer

Ow. Ow. Ow.

Posted on September 6, 2020 by A Dreamer
