In time or so I’m told
I’m just another soul for sale, oh well
The page is out of print, we are not permanent
We’re temporary, temporary
Same old story*
I’m still not sure what to do within this space. I don’t have all that much to share these days, good or bad. The Rottweilers are fine and they even have a brand new laptop to eat. The rest of the family is fine as well.
Some stories that I might otherwise want to discuss are not really mine to tell, and I’ll leave it up to the main characters to decide when and where to tell those stories. I’m also trying to figure out what and how much I can share about some online classes I’ve been taking without violating anyone’s intellectual property rights.
I’d like to indulge in a little gratuitous self-promotion. As soon as I can figure out a tasteful way to do so, I’ll be back to do it.
Despite the Rottweilers in the title, I’m not sure we belong in the pet blogging genre or community any longer. We’re training “lightly” these days and neither dog is competing regularly in any venue at the moment, so I don’t have as much pet-related content as I did in the past.
So much that I don’t know.
What I do know is that I’d like to wish a wonderful 2012 to all of you who have stopped by to visit. If you had a great 2011, may 2012 be even better. If, like me, you had a 2011 that you’re saying “good riddance” to, may 2012 be its polar opposite!
…do you ever have a day or two when it’s almost midnight and way past time to sleep, and you really have nothing at all to say, but you have to write something just to keep the post-a-day thing going?
Well, this is one of those days. Check back for actual content tomorrow!
Well, they’re not quite gone yet. Our chrysanthemums made their first appearance again right on schedule in early October, but their time of glory is starting to come to an end.
The beginning…
I have a strange fascination with the whole idea of perennials. Going dormant underground to survive a harsh winter and coming back around to life only for the best season of the year — fall — seems very cool to me. I’m also intrigued by the fact that they’ve changed their color mix over the years. They started out as an almost equal mix of pink-purple and white blooms. But this year there were no white blooms at all.
The end…
Still so pretty but you can see the older blooms starting to wither away.
I seem to be missing a whole month here. I don’t think I had much going on that would be exciting to anyone but me anyway. I never did post the missing stuff from April since sometimes, timeliness does matter.
Since I was last here, Axe got his TT, I switched from BlackBerry to Android, and other even less-exciting things happened.
But I’m writing this with WordPress for Android just to stay within my zone!
Remember way back at the beginning of November? I said this:
November is not a good month for me to plan anything requiring daily commitment.
At least I was right about something! Total crash and burn for November NaBloPoMo, followed by a long absence from the blog extending through most of December. I’m trying to get back on track and I’m finding it a little difficult since I’m not doing any classes with the Rottweilers, nor do we have any shows or trials planned for the near future. So I feel like I don’t have anything interesting and topical to write about. Plus I’m not working on any geektastic projects, and haven’t gotten any cool tech gadgets lately, so nothing exciting to report on the computer and technology front either.
My phone is eligible for an upgrade. Nothing is wrong with it, and I really don’t need to upgrade. But I might have to, just so I have something to write about!
I grew up in one of the few places in the United States that does not observe Daylight Saving Time. So until I was 18, I never had to do the “spring forward, fall back” thing. After way more than 18 years of living with the time change, I suppose I have no excuse for not taking it in stride.
But as usual, I feel somewhat disoriented with a body clock that didn’t reset automatically like the computerized clocks. Fortunately, the dogs did sort of reset. They must have been tired, because they slept in for almost the entire “extra” hour. At least that was helpful.
I understand the origins of Daylight Savings Time, and the supposed reasons for its extension a few years ago. I still question why we are still observing it, especially since there seems to be no hard evidence of any energy savings.
