  • Random Thoughts, and Housekeeping….

    So I decided today, that whatever I write following my last ill-advised blog entitled: The Call of the Whoop-ass Bird, had better be pretty darn interesting, and pretty darn GOOD.

    This was originally supposed to be a blog on English Springer Spaniels. I mean, really – how many times have you woken up from a nap, only to turn and see THIS face, in your face. Instead, I’m pulling a Midnight’s Children move with the sheet and bits of a story being revealed to tell… Read more
