So…how do I look when I’m curling? Just like this. #HotShots includes some video analysis of your delivery. Thanks to the great Earle Morris for the coaching!

Lily’s been counting down the days until we go to New Hampshire. She knows the entire routine for the trip: a big plane then a small plane and we’re stopping in NJ before we get to NH. See couldn’t be more excited!

Notice anything in the circle? If you said a baby fish, you win $1. Actually there are (and this is a total guess cause I can’t count them all) maybe 15. They’re all about the size of a grain of rice. One of the Mollies I bought recently must have been pregnant. So now I’ve got 15 or so more mouths to feed. Assuming they all make it. They must look awfully delicious to some of the other fish in the tank.

This is Mother Nature in NC from one week to the next. And now it’s supposed to be dreary all day today. What’re you gonna do?

I know curling doesn’t sound exciting but this is a really great shot. Not at all easy to make. Try this on your shuffle board court. Bet you couldn’t make it.

Being the owner of dachshunds, to me a book on dog discipline becomes a volume of inspired humor. Every sentence is a riot. Some day, if I ever get a chance, I shall write a book, or warning, on the character and temperament of the dachshund and why he can’t be trained and shouldn’t be. I would rather train a striped zebra to balance an Indian club than induce a dachshund to heed my slightest command. When I address Fred I never have to raise either my voice or my hopes. He even disobeys me when I instruct him in something he wants to do.

When it’s cold and icy enough outside to do this, you know it’s a good time to stay in.

Finally, I have a way to explain this to Lily while she’s in the bathtub! I’ve just been making up corny answers.

My first Bonspiel is in the bag. Had a blast! And I’d do it again in a New York minute.  Don’t know what a Bonspiel is?  Here’s a decent explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonspiel
