So last night was a bit of a long night for me and my gal.  Whereas mom hand feeds her, massages her, and brushes her teeth, dad is in charge of ensuring she does her business and sleeps comfortably through the night.  Akemi has noticed Suji has been having trouble breathing of late and he…

Today, we took Suji to another vet for a second opinion.  As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we fear that Suji's neurological condition is worsening and a creeping paralysis is working its way through her body,  making chewing and swallowing difficult.  Lately, this has manifested in nasal discharge and choking.  So Akemi and I are…

Alas, our little gal has not been doing well of late.  Increasingly, she's been having trouble eating - chewing and swallowing - and whenever she drinks, her nose runs.  She's been having trouble breathing but seem to do better when she is in certain positions, with her chest propped up. I suspect it's the neurological…

From horror movies to crime shows.  I put out the call for recommendations recently, and you all answered. I decided to start with the shorter runs, checking out the following five... Deepwater Fell (2020) - 4 episodes When a seemingly perfect and happy family is murdered by someone they knew and trusted, cracks appear on…

Well, this is nice... Canceled But Shouldn't Be - 20 Canceled TV Shows That Need More Seasons Fantasy Football kicked off this past weekend and the Snow Monkeys look like they'll be winless in both leagues. Looks like it's going to be a long season. Uh oh.  I could be in trouble.  New bakery opened…

I'm doing a crime binge!  Recommend me a great crime series... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1700177040744296926 Have gotten a lot of recommendations over on twitter and my list is well over 100 shows.  I've started with the shortest and done Deadwater Fall (intriguing set-up but no surprises, a resounding meh), Collateral (sharp dialogue but some contrived plotting and wasn't…

Sadly, not uncommon. And, in many instances, the actor never finds out. Three occasions come to mind.... Offer goes out for a series lead. A counter-offer is made. We go back and forth. Eventually, we're almost there except for one sticking point. They want a producer credit and this is something the production company is…

Cooked up some farmers' market habaneros the other day.  In terms of flavor and spice level, my absolute favorite pepper. Uh oh.  I could be in trouble.  New bakery/pastry shop opened just a ten minute walk from my place, and it is delicious.  Pictured, they're pistachio pain au chocolate and their triple chocolate croissant.  …

Our typical Saturday morning includes an early morning visit to the Farmers' Market.. An early start to our day!  We try to get out of the house by 7:30 a.m. at the latest to beat the rush (and make sure we can snag the free range eggs that sell out early).  Akemi, pictured here with…
