Comments 0 Comment

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Our Fox Hunt Club had its Pre-Season Annual Business Meeting this last weekend….. It’s the traditional kick-off to a new season…..

Everyone agreed that this summer was different…we don’t know exactly how…but it felt hotter and harder….. My daughters and I were talking…and…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Well…here’s a question I recently posed to myself….. Should I write about my colonoscopy…or should I not(?)….. I’m sure some of my family members would say…I should not….. …..but I hardly ever listen….. …..so I won’t start now….. When you get old enough…colonoscopies happen…with regularity….. “Death Begins in the Colon”………….it was a phrase used by Ilya Metchnikov…and much earlier by Hippocrates….. *****(Metchnikov Was Awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine—1908)***** I would agree with…

COVID-19 is still looming out there with it’s slavering, drooling, consuming meanness… I understand that a vaccine is still way over the horizon, somewhere in the distant future… But I’ve been reading about a number of “potential” cures or treatments… I’m not suggesting trying any of them… I’m not endorsing and/or encouraging anything… I’m just reading stuff on-line… So here are a couple I’ve just recently read about… Food for thought… I’ve heard and read a lot about hydroxychloroquine (HA!—my…

We’re all right… We’re sitting tight… However…..Paolo always breaks for freedom at the first opportunity… We make sure he has the appropriate supplies and apparel when he goes out… When he returns home, I make him strip and dump all his clothes in the laundry machine… We store his face mask in the food cupboard over night……. …..(so that the cats don’t nibble through the elastic-ear-holder thingies)……. …..then in the morning…..it gets re-spritz’d with colloidal silver before he leaves the…

I’m back on my diet again……. My holiday-hiatus is over……. It was only supposed to be a few days……. Not a few months……. I won’t approach our nasty/judgy scale……it’s never been my friend. …..plus, it’s always been eleven pounds heavier than my reality, anyway… I’ve inhaled every new flavor of Blue Bell Ice Cream that I could find…….I’ll have to wait for next year’s seasonal “Christmas Cookie” flavor to come back again……………..I recommend it… *****YOU JUST HAVE TO CLICK ON…
