The Aggravations of Being A Baby Boomer. The Last Efficient Bureaucrat →. August 10, 2015. Is there any sadder sight than a carrier that goes into a vet’s office with a kitty inside, and comes out empty? I have written before of the horror of taking something you love and killing it.

In the mornings, I often woke up in bed and found him nestled against my leg, as if the best place in the world was always next to Daddy.

What career would I have pursued otherwise? Or at the very least, a shallow, ...

I have stopped feeling sorry for myself and asking why (a control queen characteristic) and starting to accept the outcome. He must've been needed somewhere else, for some purpose forever unknown to us. We loved him for a few very short and blissful weeks! God bless you Parker. Now you are a sweet puppy angel, with no suffering. These are the...

Frazzled: Tips and Stories from Working Moms@Home. Wednesday, August 29, 2012. Are You Real, Virtual or Robotic? Yet, this can be a trap. I worry about who’s actually on the other end of that stream of bits. Is it really the expert/executive or their assistant? Is it a bot? Have they said the same spiel to 10 other people in the last month? Can't we all use a little more of the real. I have one editor who always calls me before e-mailing. It's refreshing. Sometimes he uses the phone to tell me so...The F...

Just another WordPress.com site. October 31, 2011. Can’t find a way to delete this so am abandoning it since there was no interest. October 28, 2011. October 27, 2011.

My gift to the succeeding generation was not to rain upon them the terror of the previous generation, and the easiest way to deliv...I hav...
