Emma Dog and I were walking south down Bear’s Ditch, headed back for the car on a pleasant summer evening, when we encountered a Mama Mallard and her family of maybe 6-8 adorable ducklings. Like these. They happened to be approaching a culvert beneath a dirt road. Mama Mallard steered the brood expertly clear. Except for [...] Guess who just got back today? With a shout out to Thin Lizzy and the long-lost Phil Lynott. Yes, it’s silly. And I’m not even sure they just got back today. But [...] The elements made sport of me today. In midafternoon I decided to try for an early walk. In process of putting Emma out to tend to business before we set out I stepped onto the back porch. And a mighty crack of thunder pealed out. So I decided the time wasn’t propitious. I waited an hour [...] Or actually, just a pair of muskrats. They didn’t get up to anything … untoward during the short time I had them in view. After writing some more on the new Rogue Angel yarn, I gathered up Emma Dog and took her off to the Nature Center for an afternoon walk. It’s a perfect Albuquerque Spring [...] Well, our New Mexico weather is following its usual pattern. As seems to be the case most places, the seasons change quite definitely on or about the first of the month – not three weeks later, as per the bureaucratic (or fascist) calendar.

It’s been wa-a-ay too long since I’ve been walking. Just ask Emma Dog. She’s been keeping me up all night, asking out (or back in) about once an hour. I reckon she’s antsy and bored and needs exercise. Me too. But what with being sick much of the last almost three months [...] Yesterday was a day from Heck. Definitely not a Day from Hell, thank goodness. A Day from Hell is when somebody dies or a major body part falls off. Or at least a concatenation of lesser but still substantial evils. I slept fitfully after getting back the night before. I started getting wakeful and worried [...] OK, this is even more trivial than the last post and pretty ephemeral to boot. The home page for Meetup.com’s Urban Exploration Meetups headlined their snippets of news and views from the nation’s – and world’s, I guess – Meetup groups with my comment on the Discover Albuquerque group: Victor Milán says: “I’m glad I [...] Emma and I took our (mostly) daily walk on the ditch that runs along the east side of the Rio Grande Nature Center preserve. In the southeast corner, the southern end of the field marked off by stands of trees was flooded and marshy. Along with the inevitable mallards and huge Canada geese, [...] |
