It’s been 6 months since our microwave met an early death. To be honest it had way more features on it than I’d ever even think to use. Mostly it rewarmed leftovers and tea and quickly baked an occasional potato. It was originally purchased by the Caveman 5 years ago, on an impulse no less. [Read More]
Vacation Tidbits
I am back from vacation! We spent 7 nights aboard the stunning Ruby Princess: She is enormous in a magnificent way. Despite having over 3,000 passengers aboard, it never seemed crowded and we never waited in line for anything. We ate ourselves silly. But in my defense, I did partake of the fitness center [Read More]
Casting Off for the Holidays
Yesterday I was taunting mother nature to bring on the snow already. Today we have cold, vicious winds, some (not enough) snow but mostly a hard shallacking of ice. Mom nature I love the snow but I prefer icing on donuts. Sidewalks? Not so much. If I don’t break a hip getting the kids on [Read More]
Parties, Parties and a Winner

Plus more to come. Since there are no bakers or cooks in my family lineage, few, if any, family [Read More]

JackedI definitely re-pulled my hamstring in the race(s) last week. I cut yesterday’s run short because no good was going to come of going longer or faster. Thankfully it was mild–if you call 28 degrees mild–so I bailed to the bike. No worries, hell or high water, I’ll be ready for Carlsbad in January! It’s [Read More]
Manic Monday Mash
Thank you all for the birthday wishes! It was a fun day. I don’t like hills much so I’m glad not really to be over the proverbial age one. Unless you count the amorphous lump of chocolate dough ingnited by one lonely and rapidly melting candle that was presented at the restaurant and shared devoured by [Read More]
Weekend Rewind
Bike for Tots Snowed Out! I kept Blanche the trusty road bike out special just for this race ride. Alas snow and slick conditions caused it to be cancelled. I think my year with Blanche is finally over. Caveman’s Holiday Party Usually I am hard pressed to find something to wear. Note to Lucy, Athleta, Title [Read More]
