Michael, This afternoon Beth and I went for a walk around Boulder’s Walden Ponds (yes I know Massachusetts has that name trademarked. Sorry.), and we were studying the Canada Geese that thrive there. At first glance, one of the geese seemed to have a ribbon around its neck. But no, it appeared to be […]
I thought I’d add more color to my nifty vase of flowers. Freshly juiced carrots.
If Diane didn’t change our sheets we’d never have clean ones. It’s not that I don’t like the feel of freshly laundered linen, or that I enjoy sleeping on miscellaneous specks of dried blood, it’s just not something I “see.†I see peeling paint on my house, and I can sense when the oil needs […]
I’m talking on the phone to Dan and I hear what sounds like a train coming though the middle of the house. I said, “Hey, Diane, there’s a train in our house.” “Yeah, that’s what they said would happen.” “Who said what would happen?” “The weather guy (Now that’s she watching TV she’s become this […]
BirdBrain dropped by around noon with an armful of goodies which included a spinach quiche, many mango mousses and this flower vase which she handed to me as my award for her favorite line of stories, The K-Mart Chronicles.

Michael, It’s almost time to crack that bottle of champagne against our solar garage, sing the Beetle’s Sunshine tune and toast the power of the sun! A few months after Mrs rakkity & I moved to Colorado, we started thinking about installing solar panels. Might as well put that 385 days/year (or whatever it is) […]
I keep scanning for photo ops as I drive back and forth to work , but I can’t see through this blanket of gray. Here are a couple from the Southbridge Boathouse in Concord. We need sun. ********* A funny, maybe on point, letter to the editor in response to a New […]
When my Indiana friend, Jeff, told me he and Karen were going to the Cork and Cleaver to celebrate their thirty-third wedding anniversary I asked him if they had reservations. He said, “Yes.†Why did I ask? Because that makes it much easier to stealthily buy their dinner. I called the restaurant shortly after I […]
Mike, I just got a new monitor, and with the increased acreage staring me in the face, I was moved to replace my desktop with a spectacular photo I took last November of the Beartooth Boys in the Indian Peaks Wilderness. –rakkity
