The first guests arrive tomorrow and things are in full Halloween mode here at the house. The frequent bouts of rain have slowed the construction and lighting progress, but with Thursday and Friday off (and Thursday currently promising no rain), hopefully most of the remainder will get done in time.
The new neighbors have been […]

I’m not dead. Really. Some mornings when I wake up right now, I sort of wish I was, but that’s mostly because I wouldn’t have to get out of my nice, warm bed. The nice warm part being the exact opposite of the rest of the house, which is without heat and a bit chilly. […]

Was woken up this morning by the sound of chainsaws. “Goddamn neighbor,” I thought. “Won’t rest until his entire yard’s bare.”
Not so much.
In the good column, they’ve cut back the brush down by the creek. In the not-so-good column–they’ve cut nearly all of it down… and they’re leaving it in big, unattractive piles […]

Click for full photos.
An impulsive but mostly practical purchase–between the need to record home improvements, the wish to document Door’s infancy, and the desire to photograph stuff for work and pleasure more cheaply, it was time to make a camera purchase. I didn’t have a lot of spare cash, so I did some research […]

Well, I suppose I can’t say that life with Door isn’t an adventure. Though perhaps not in the way one might think. Or want.
By Monday, Door’s litterbox issues weren’t improving, so I bundled him up and we headed to the vet a day early to get him checked out. Dr. M. looked him […]

After an exciting trip to the vet, followed by frequent feedings and medicines, Door finally passes out for a while in the window seat. My friend R responded to this image with “Awwwwww, kittenloaf!” Which I think might be the funniest thing I’ve ever heard.
So far, he’s still pooping like a madman, but doesn’t […]

Obviously, I’m using the cel phone’s camera to take pictures. Crappy quality, but hey, it’s what’s here. And I’d hate to let Door’s first week go by undocumented. Add to the list: cheap but functional digital camera.
Ah, the joys of kitten-raisin’. The joys and the pains, as it were.
In the totally joyful column–Door is a […]

He’s currently asleep under the guest room bed–he’s content to come out if I go into the room, but still finds comfort in a hidden spot when he’s alone. He’s a tiny grey thing in the middle of the blanketsand toys, but his bell gives him away. He is alert and friendly, has the loudest […]

Just when I thought good seafood was a fantasy in these parts–finally, a seafood restaurant that knows the meaning of “fresh!”
In all the years I’ve lived in this part of the country, and with its proximity to an oceanfront area where fresh seafood is caught, I’ve never understood why it was nearly impossible to find […]
