Dark Shadows started as a gothic horror soap opera in 1966. It began delving into the supernatural with the introduction of reluctant vampire Barnabas Collins. I discovered the series when Barnabas was terrorizing Maggie Evans, trying to turn her into his lost love. It gave me nightmares and my mother said no more Dark Shadows . I couldn't stay aw...

I haven't had much opportunity to take pictures of the gang in the last several weeks. The other day, though, I just had to get one of TB snuggled up with Indigo (hoping to post it tomorrow for Cats on Tuesday) and while I was at it, I took pictures of everyone else in the room too. I really like this picture of Cubby. To me, he seems to be saying...
I have an update on all our adventures over the last week or so that I'll get to later. My grandparents came to the U.S. from County Sligo and so I'm a little familiar with the culture and stories of Ireland and was totally looking forward to reading this book. I already enjoyed Sarum and London by Rutherford and expected another fine book. Alas. I...
CATS ON TUESDAY is a group of cat lovers who share pictures and/or stories about their cats once a week, hosted by Gattina . One day last week, TB called to me to come and look in his office--and bring my camera. I'm glad I did. I posted one of the pictures yesterday for Man Cat Monday but they're all so cute I decided to post the rest. Cubby was ...
Over the lovely Valentine's Day dinner Kristin prepared for us, we had a conversation about how expensive fish has become. Kristin told us the least expensive fish sold at the store where she works is something called swai. I'd never heard of it and asked what it was. She answered it was a sort of Southeast Asian catfish. "What about Louisiana catf...
When I first came upon Kosmo and TB watching TV, both of Kosmo's paws were extended down. He looked so adorably cute! Of course, as I was snapping the picture, he brought one paw up. Oh well. Kosmo sez, Uh-uh, Mommy Bean's got dat flashy ting again. Hey, it's not Toosday! Daddy Bean's lap is comfy but it's time to gedouda here! I fink more of my p...
Is it just supermarkets or are there other companies that make you go to their doctors when you get injured? I've been injured on the job before (in the 1980s) and I got to go to my own doctors and emergency room--places convenient to me. I didn't work for a supermarket though. Now both of my daughters have been injured on the job in two different ...
