Today’s headline is what we call “a play on words” and it’s possible I’ve used it before. I mean, you write a blog for close to 15 years and it’s hard to keep that sort of stuff straight. But, even with the “play” it’s an accurate description of today’s content. Once again, I started the day with a blank slate and it stayed that way until about 15 minutes ago. Then, at around 11:45, I looked on the ottoman in our living room and thought “That’s worth writing about” and off it went. Just a bunch of random things that are all worthy of inclusion, but none of which are big enough to carry the whole load.

When I awoke this morning, I knew it was Thursday. I also left my head on the pillow (and my right hand on Buster the cat, who loves to snuggle in the morning) while I mentally flipped through blog concepts for today. It was another one of those “I have no idea” Thursday mornings. I was drawing a blank.

Yesterday was one interesting day and evening. I found a relic I had no idea existed, in the oddest possible place, then a few hours later I thought I was either in an alien abduction or a tornado. It was neither, but it was exciting. We’ll start with the weather.

So, just a week after I so proudly wrote about how many fun things Barbara Doyle and I had been doing, including restaurants, concerts, weddings, and the like, we’ve basically done nothing very fun for the last week. Part of that had to do with Barbara needing to go on a business trip to New York and Boston, and the rest mostly had to do with some home projects and the weather.
