KSA, I'm thinking a big bag or two of cat litter and some food would be a great gift for my son and his wife. They have two cats and as long as they're around, I'll probably never get grandkids.  (hey, that's ok, I'm not in any hurry, but still)

 

 

Jay lives down in the suburbs of Massachusetts. 

That's funny.

However, somehow, Anchorage is not funny.

Don Shirley's real life family has criticized it as "full of lies."

Listening to family members being interviewed on NPR last week

kind of ruined it for me wanting to see it so no threat of having

to sit down in a movie theater so far this century.

DNiece did a great job last night in "The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime."

Lot of mileage being gotten all-over-the-place

for 2018 being the Chinese Year of the Dog

 I can manage to do the quote from a previous thread but it is not an elegant solution. I quote in the original thread and then cut and paste into a reply on the current thread. Can build multiple quotes in a similar fashion. Would welcome a simpler way.

Me too, with the big problem being quoting from a prior day's topic and the forgetting to paste it over to the current day's thread so, all-of-a-sudden, it looks like there's a belated post for yesterday that, even if you delete the content, the post remains as if someone was posting yesterday again.

 I still haven’t figured out how to get photos to appear, though.

Me too.

But, if I could, I would post how foggy

it was on the two (2+2) miles each

RT's up/down to the Rattlesnake Ledges

with 42 other hikers the first time

and 95 the second time, including five

true trail runners, 30+ dogs, a half-dozen

kids, a couple carrying the 2-mo old

in a chest hugger and others

even older than me.

10:30 am photo, . . . if it works.

Okay--now, tet's just showing off.

I am not

I went 6 miles

good job on the run

then went Christmas shopping.

good job on the shopping

See ya!

 

BTY, what size is your pool?

I swim in the local High School's "Natatorium" which has a 25-yard long, 6-lane wide pool that replaced the pool we had in a different part of the school when I went there many years ago.  We called ours a "pool". 

   I swam competitively as a little kid (age group swimming) and should have stuck with it, but instead decided I wanted to be a shot putter and discus thrower, for which I was not appropriately built, and at which I never became very competitive until I competed in the New York "Empire State Games" for Masters, which had the plug pulled about 10 years ago.  So 42 years after hanging my Speedo up for the last time, I'm back splashing around and trying to put the potential energy named "regret" to work so that in a year or two I can hold my own in statewide competition.  While the ESG's are done for, there are still the Senior Games which include swimming, and are part of the national competition - but I'm not going to kid myself into thinking I can compete at that level.

I know I can copy from FB and paste here, but apparently not using my phone. Otherwise you would have seen more Maggie pics.  Been too busy to fire up tablet to do so.

Hey y'all, very long drill day...not even time to lurk.  D

Same here. My day was spent dealing with the crud plus working on my agencies budget for about 10 hours (this was my allocated weekend to work on the budget note to self...next year plan to work on the budget in October). It is impossible to get it done at the office with all the interruptions). Anyway...it was a fruitful day in all fronts. I even  had a  walk/run date with the EP. He ran 4.5 miles on the track, while I walk run 3.

Buenas noches mis amigos
