Piper has quite the morning routine. At 0400 with the moon shining bright through my bedroom window I hear that meow. If I ignore her she jumps up on my tall bed (which is getting harder for her every day) and walks over my body. She waits patiently while I do my stretch and prayers… Continue reading On Her Chair

Sleep Settings
I tweaked my sleeping arrangement today. My main pet peeve was that I couldn’t lay on my back and point my toes upward because the blankets were too heavy, so I built a foot bridge at the bottom. My pet Piper’s peeve was that she’s getting too old and fat to easily jump up on… Continue reading Sleep Settings
Power
I wake up at 0425 every morning these days, flat on my back. Piper is always nestled against the side of my left leg as I gently push her aside and spread my naked legs as wide as I can. I pull my arms from beneath the covers and extend them outward, stretching my body… Continue reading Power
Judgement Call
Last Saturday I left the Valley at 0400 and drove 10 hours to Mesquite, NV. It turned out to be a stressful run because my sweet little pickup was running rough and I had no idea why. I installed a new cap, rotor and plugs before I left along with an air filter and fuel… Continue reading Judgement Call
Rough Life
There’s a blizzard going down outside at the moment but Piper’s not bothered one bit.
Pink Puff Bed
Pretty Piper climbed up onto Stephs baby blanket project that was sprawled across the dining room table today. After a few kneads and a couple of shuffles she settled on in.
Pipe Dreams
Last night I dreamed that I was in my bed sleeping when I heard Piper meowing softly from the floor beside my bed. I whispered to her come on up but she just kept making that sound. Then I woke up, in my bed, and Piper was snuggled up against me dreaming and making soft… Continue reading Pipe Dreams
Seattle Storm
I think there was a race horse by this name but today it’s West Coast reality. I just got off the phone with Riley and he told me about this thing heading their way, so I checked it out. It looks bad and Steph’s flying out in the morning so I better call her real… Continue reading Seattle Storm
Reflection
The word reflection is a homonym, one with multiple meanings, and to me it means two things: Looking at my current life and reflecting on the decisions I make every moment, and looking at my nose reflecting in the mirror, reflecting on the ever improving healthy state of my liver and my body in general.… Continue reading Reflection
Relaxed
Ahhh, warm days, no predators, mom and dad inside just in case, so Piper can relax. And stretch…
Memorial
I inadvertently discovered 6,230 more U.S. Cities to add to my database today which means I’ve had to write utilities to scour the web and update essentials like FIPS codes, County name and Zip code, for each City. Just about done. I also took a break and drove down to our local Green Canyon Hot… Continue reading Memorial
Watch Cat
This was the best day of the year so far here, around 70°. Piper took it upon herself to brace her back up against the dead hot-tub and guard the deck intently. Or not…
Excuse Me?
Piper likes to hang out on my bed in the late afternoon and groom her private areas. When I open the door and peek in on her, she gives me this look. Priceless…
Thawing
Spring is finally here, the property is reappearing from under the white shit, and the mice are running out of places to hide. Piper’s going out once a day now, in the early morning, decapitating the little cute fuzzy things. Summer is right around the corner, but sometimes it’s a very long corner around here…
Home Again
I jumped out of my no-tell motel bed in Provo, UT at 0430 and was fueled, caffeinated and hitting I-15 North at 0500. I asked the young Mormon cashier boy at the 24 hour Maverick store if I could beat the SLC morning commute by leaving now and he just smiled with glazed over eyes… Continue reading Home Again
