- The other day I was in the grocery store and kept hearing a mother telling her little son, “Walker, don’t touch that,” “Walker, come here,” etc. Finally I heard her say, “Walker, don’t run!” I thought, “That must be why she named him Walker.” Heh, heh.
- It’s cold this morning! I turned on the furnace for the first time this season.
- If you want to see some really intriguing pictures, go see ivman. Some are probably “doctored,” but many just happened to catch the right angle at the right moment. Here are a couple of my favorites:
- Jesse made the JV basketball teaming for the first time after trying out three years in a row. I guess I have to go to basketball games now.
We used to go all the time just for something to do — but I have plenty to do these days! I’m happy for him. He’s thrilled. We talked a little bit last night about expectations: soreness and hard work at practice (even though he’s skinny he’s not really in shape, and he knows that and knows to expect work on that) and the fact that, though athletics can teach a lot of good life lessons, they can also get people riled up and not to take it personally if someone seems harsh or even yells.
- Cinnamon toast made with Texas toast is really good.
- I woke up feeling not so great this morning — not good because I have a busy week ahead! After getting Jesse off to school I lazed around for a little while and just got up again to try and eat something a little while ago..
- I go back tomorrow to get the root canal finished. I was thinking that since the dentist drilled everything out last time, all he’d have to do this time is fill it back in, so it should be pretty simple. But he put temporary filling in last time, so I guess he will have to drill all that back out. Augh! Well, anyway, after this is over with I shouldn’t have to see him for a long time. I hope.
- I guess dentists probably need to feel pretty secure about themselves to go into a profession where no one really likes coming to see them! It’s not a good profession for anyone with an inferiority complex.
- I’m off to read a few blogs and then dig in to my work for the day. Have a good day!

Don’t worry about the dentist removing the temporary filling; it’s not that difficult. The worst is over.
Have I BOO-ed you yet? Come see what I mean? :-0

Came to your site through ivman. Good observation about how dentistry isn’t a good profession for an insecure person…I got a good laugh out of that one.

Hi Barbara,
Loved the picture of the “headless” gymnast. Would that we were all so flexible
And sorry to show my ignorance, but what, exactly, is Texas Toast?

Hi Barbara, I hope my blog was one of those you visited.
The pictures are really interesting! And I like that Walker thingy, especially your closing sentence. Me thinks that’s clever…
