Cat : Are you coming downstairs to groom and feed me? Human : No. Cat : Are you sure? Human : Yes. That’s why I’m holding this basket of laundry. Cat : Fool! Cat runs under foot, tripping Human who falls down the steps, bounces off a wall, and comes…

It’s Spring Break here in Decorah and the weather is finally cooperating. It’s pretty cool to actually open my office window and feel a 60 degree breeze wash over me. I’m also getting a lot of much needed work done. An added bonus of Spring? The Writing Moose and I…

This comes via Twitter from one of my VP instructors, Steven Gould. Being a perfectionist in my writing, I am seriously thinking I need something like this engraved in wood or painted and framed or maybe even tattooed onto my hands or something.

While I don’t have vestibular neuronitis (just congestion or maybe sinus infection mixed with a bitchin’ case of vertigo), Least I Could Do describes how I feel today: I am testing the theory that staying prone at home rather than being at work will speed up my recovery. I am…

Nope, just a corn sheller. One of the crops we grew this year was corn. In past years, it’s just been popcorn but this year Steph decided to try another variety that will eventually be ground up for flour. The cobs have been sitting in the basement all winter and…
