On this day it is an American tradition to cook meat at high heat over an open fire, gather with friends, drink and end the night with many loud explosions. (Also known as a cookout and fireworks.) So since this isnt a cooking, gathering or fireworks blog, lets address our topic and help you...

Thank you sir! I'm back on form today. Lots of sleep and a hearty meal did the trick

Thanks man. I feel for you when you have to make the decision. I have always heard that when dogs finally get to the point where they go, it is extremely fast. I had to see it to believe it. I hope Ollie stays healthy and happy for a long time, but when it is his time, it is peaceful.
I'm in the car right now. The wife and I are driving home from visiting family for the day. There are fireworks going off all around us. Pretty, actually.
But also irritating. This is a giant pet peeve of mine. And I'm completely aware it might be irrational. But if you are celebrating a holiday, why are you not celebrating on the holiday? This goes...

Amen brother!
I just want to share that I'm having an unusually good day today. I'm a whole day ahead on a half million dollar direct mail piece at work, my iPhone played only happy music even though it was on shuffle, my wife and daughter are both in a good mood, and I'm interacting on a bunch of great new people here on SG.
I'm so...

That's some impressive work there. Looks like you have a beautiful home.
The fiery daystar. It's back!
I'm confused. There is this bright orb in the sky this morning. It seems like forever since we here in Minnesota have seen the sun. First day of summer was cold. Yesterday barely made 60 degrees. But, today! Today I can revel in the wonder that is naturally produced Vitamin D. And maybe even be warm.

It's looking to be a sunny day for Iowa finally too
Well, today is the summer solstice. Used to mean a bit more to me when I was more into the whole Pagan thing. Don't get me wrong, I still self-identify as a pagan (lower-case). I've just come to the conclusion that living by a set of ideals is more important in the long run in contributing to a long, happy life than if I were...

Happy Father's Day to ME!
Up early thanks to the very old dog's very small bladder. As my Grandfather used to say: "Getting old is a bitch." But that just means I can get to work on my plans for the day. I'm going to sit down, read the paper (yes, I still do this on Sunday's), then maybe watch a movie. After that it...

So, the profile. It got me thinking about myself a little. I do that a lot. I tend to be a bit narcissistic.
I had a terrible time coming up with the top ten lists. I like so many things that it was very hard to narrow it down. I pretty much have terrible taste in movies. Aside from the occasional flick where I want...

Hi!
I'm new here. Haven't had a chance to explore much. Looked at a few photos, joined a few groups, tried to contribute, read some n00b rules. In all it's been pleasant.
I look forward to the next year here and hope it will turn into more.
