Valentine Roses

We’re not forgetting Valentine’s Day coming up on Friday. A dozen roses for us to remember. Dozens of years together to cherish. Countless memories to treasure.

Svengoolie Movie: “An American Werewolf in London”5 Apr 2026
Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations! Clear the air lanes! Clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” Let me get this off my chest first. Sena and I watched the Svengoolie show the 1981 movie, “An American Werewolf in London” directed by John Landis last night and neither of us remember hearing Sam Cooke’s version … Continue reading "Svengoolie Movie: “An American Werewolf in London”"
“Life is Beautiful”4 Apr 2026
We heard the song “Life is Beautiful” by Keb’ Mo’ last night on the Big Mo Blues Show. It was released 20 years ago. Big Mo said it helped him get through a difficult time. We think the song is beautiful and so do hundreds of other people on the YouTube video posted 16 years … Continue reading "“Life is Beautiful”"
Spring Flowers Photo Quiz!3 Apr 2026
Sena’s daffodil and crocus are coming up in the garden, so I took 3 snapshots, each with a different camera: my iPhone 17 pro; a Canon point and shoot; and a Nikon D3400. Pick which one you think is best and comment. Happy Easter!

Sena thought it was in the front yard, but there are no trees out there and it’s more likely it was in the back yard. I searched my photo files and couldn’t find one of a barred … Continue reading "We Heard a Barred Owl Last Night"

Hey, we played our first game on our brand-new jumbo cribbage board from Michaud Toys in Canada! It looks great! The numbers are easy to see and it seems easier to peg on. We also got two new batteries for our Nikon camera and it supports recording an entire game which keeps us from fretting … Continue reading "Our 1st Game on Our New Cribbage Board"
The Case of the Loose SD Memory Card Switch1 Apr 2026
This is not an April Fools joke, just to let you know. I just returned the second of two SD memory cards for our Nikon camera this morning. I returned the first one about a week ago. I got refunds. These cards are expensive and can set you back a hundred bucks or more. They … Continue reading "The Case of the Loose SD Memory Card Switch"

Plan for retirement, even if you don’t plan to retire. This means sound financial planning, developing other interests, and nurturing your relationships with significant others. Retire, even if you are not retired. Take enough time off periodically, and completely, with no connections to work, so that you can feel emotionally free from concerns about patients and practice. Of course, there is no reason to retire if you really love your work and relationships just as they are.-H. Steven Moffic, MD See original article in Psychiatric Times
