drdog wrote a new post, About time, right?, on the site Dr. Dog's House 4 months, 4 weeks ago
I’ve taken a break from blogging in the past. Nothing like this, of course.
But Monday was my birthday (No. 63. Thank you very much!) and nearly the end of the year, so I thought I should give you an […]

drdog wrote a new post, Nicholas Sparks’ sausage machine, on the site Dr. Dog's House 1 year ago
Not much to report from recent days. I’ve been working and doing this and that. But on Saturday, my wife and I went out of town for most of the day. Destination: Iron Mountain.
Ordinarily these trips center on […]

drdog wrote a new post, Nothing you’ll see on Facebook, on the site Dr. Dog's House 1 year, 1 month ago
I haven’t written for a while, have I? Well, so it goes. It seems hardly anybody is writing lately. Most of them are busy telling their life stories on Facebook. But I’m not a Facebook person.
To be clear: If […]

drdog wrote a new post, Republican for a day?, on the site Dr. Dog's House 1 year, 2 months ago
What to do!
It’s primary day here in Michigan, where you can in either party’s primary.
No Democrats have called me, but Romney, Santorum and their henchmen have been besieging my phone lines for weeks, […]

drdog wrote a new post, Bouncing through February, on the site Dr. Dog's House 1 year, 3 months ago
Don’t ever think that I don’t enjoy writing for this blog, because I do. Even if I don’t have a lot of time for it.
What’s more, I’m egotistical enough to think that everyone on the planet wants to know all […]

drdog wrote a new blog post: An SFX look at 2011 1 year, 4 months ago
As promised, here are photos of some of my adventures from 2011 that I never got to show you before. But plain old photos wouldn’t be much fun. Not when I can jazz them up a bit with some creative editing. It’s special effects time! I have 12 pictures here. Ideally, there would be one from [...] -
drdog wrote a new blog post: A taste of winter–yuck! 1 year, 4 months ago
Just a quickie note today. My wife and I had planned to drive down to visit K and her guy later today, but a winter storm forced us to reconsider and reschedule. We’ll try again next Tuesday, K’s next day off work. We’re getting just light snow right now, but it’s supposed to get more [...]

I love them all, but I think Buster is my favorite, especially when you know about the story of his life at MGM. I’ve got all his films. Favorites? There are many, but “Sherlock Jr.:” and “Go West” are favorites. And “The General,” of course, with all those trains. As for the shorts, it’s really [...]

drdog wrote a new blog post: Planning ahead in 2012 1 year, 4 months ago
While I wrote here about things I did in 2011, there is also an untold saga: Things I did but never wrote about, at least in a blog post. Why? Various reasons. Time, mostly. Time is often in short supply for me, and my priorities are always subjective and subject to change. At some point [...]

Today, Dec. 30, 2011, Christmas arrived for me. No, I’m not Orthodox. I’m anything but orthodox. Today, a special package arrived. I haven’t opened it yet, but I know what it is. I ought to: I ordered it myself. I will coerce my wife into giving it to me tonight. Then I can open it. [...]

It’s true. I went there. And now I’m going to tell you all about it. In fact, this is something I have wanted to do for a long time. OK, OK, I know this may blast away all perceptions many of you have formed about me over the years. So let me explain. It happened a [...] -
drdog commented on the blog post Thieves – wtf!!! 1 year, 5 months ago
Sad and pointless that someone would swipe the bumper–license plate and all. What’s the market for a used front bumper for a van, anyhow? Squilla is right: May the karma police catch up with them.

drdog wrote a new blog post: Thanksgiving odyssey 1 year, 5 months ago
Whew! We’re back home after our Thanksgiving odyssey to the Detroit area. Over 3 1/2 days, I put nearly 1,200 miles on the car. That’s a ton of driving. But it was a good trip. The weather was fine–no problems at all–and we got back home around midnight on Friday. I was able to rest [...]

drdog wrote a new blog post: On the road again . . . and again 1 year, 6 months ago
My car has been getting a workout lately. And the real workout is yet to come. Last week, I covered the regional volleyball tournament about 60 miles away, in Baraga. The semifinal match was Tuesday, and the finals were on Thursday. We also had a big snowstorm last week. That arrived early Wednesday morning. By the [...] -
drdog wrote a new blog post: Nav system: off 1 year, 6 months ago
That car I got a couple months ago has a navigation system built in. You can see maps as you drive along. As if you didn’t know where you’re going already. Sort of like when I write a post or a news story. But this time, the nav system is turned off. The maps are [...]

drdog wrote a new blog post: Bits and pieces 1 year, 7 months ago
(Originally posted elsewhere about two weeks ago, while Efx3′s servers were on vacation.) All of us have talents and skills. I like to write, and I think I’m pretty good at it. I take pictures, too. My wife likes to make quilts, and that is one of her gifts. In recent years, especially since the kids [...] -
drdog commented on the blog post Out, damned lump! 1 year, 7 months ago
She only had that side of her thyroid removed. She wrote me about her visit to her doctor last week: The half that remains is working “OK,” and she does not have to take thyroid medicine. I am sure the doctor will monitor her condition closely in the months and years to come. Keep in [...]
