As you know, I ramble. Bonecollector’s got new baby photos on line. Must. Resist. The. Cuteness! As you know, I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Legalese, we’re PROUD of you. You may not have gotten the raise, but you did get the “lateral”, which gets you out of where you weren’t happy [...]

Since you didn’t get a Friday FloorFiller™ last week, I’ve decided to give you a “Wiggle It Wednesday”, so please enjoy! Let me know what you think.

I’m moving right along.

1. Now that summer is almost half over, have you done at least some of what you wished to do? 2. Has this summer been hotter or cooler than normal? 3. Wetter or drier? 4. How many get-togethers have you participated in? 5. How many vacations have you managed to take? (Weekend trips count here, [...]

I can’t participate in Blogathon 2006 because I’ll be on the road this year, however, Pisco has taken up the reins and is blogging for Episcopalians for Global Reconciliation, which aims to eliminate extreme poverty in the world. Do your good work, Pisco. Maybe next year we can team blog the ‘Thon.

Well, I’m no Mack Daddy, but I have decided that the week away from the keys was what I needed. That’s why I said it was a farewell, not a goodbye. Unfortunately, some readers take it upon themselves to be smartasses. I can tell from some of the emails I received. Remember, you’re in my [...]

Mary had a little pig, She kept it fat and plastered; And when the price of pork went up, She shot the little bastard. MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB Her father shot it dead. Now it goes to school with her, Between two hunks of bread. JACK AND JILL Went up the hill To have [...]

“West” has posted that he thinks Silver Blue and I are the same person which is certainly not true. I’m part of the Silver Blue family of blogs, (as Tink, Gemini Blue, Roxette Bunny, among other are) but we’re all friends. As far as the “Name” goes, no, I’m not really Daniel Cosgrove-Hall; it’s a [...]

Independence Day style: 1. Are you celebrating Independence Day this year? 2. How do you celebrate, with a crowd or by yourself? 3. Are you having a cook out, going to a cook out, having a cook-in or going to a cook-in? 4. Will you be viewing fireworks or firing off some of your own? [...]

I’ve asked Danny from A Question of Honour to guest blog for a while. Several things have lead to my decision to walk away from the ramblings for a while; not the least of which was a comment made by a friend of mine who said I’d become predictible; that were were no longer any [...]

Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Daniel Cosgrove-Hall, and I run a little (very little) blog over at A Question of Honour. Silver Blue asked that I step in for him while he’s on hiatus (it appears that Roxette Bunny has gone with him, so she couldn’t fill in). While I’m still relatively new at [...]

I’m back from Northern Virginia, and had several ephiphanies while I was out of town. One came in the form of a phone call; one came in the from of a lightning storm; one came in the flash of hail that peppered from the sky. I’m saying farewell, for it’s not “goodbye”. Pisco — sorry [...]

…one doesn’t go against it. I went out last nitght to do some last minute preparations for the trip and where did I find myself? At a camera shop. You know what? It wasn’t meant for me to purchase the elnse I was after …. for they didn’t have it in stock. In fact, it’s [...]

There are numerous reasons why I wasn’t going to make a post today. Not that anything has gone wrong — or right for that matter. But in preparing to skedaddle out of town for a much needed escape. I want to buy a new lens for my digital camera, but it’s rather pricey. So, I’ve [...]
