‘The TharpSter TreadMill’ Archives

Thunder Dog Part Deux

Thunder Dog Part Deux

Please understand that when I wrote Thunder Dog a few days ago, I was generally frustrated with our dog Faith and her irrational fear of thunder, lightning, and all that goes boom in the sky (like the garbage trucks which drive by twice a week).   The blog itself [Read More]

Thunder Dog

Thunder Dog

Didn’t I mention just the other day on this very website that I’d rather deal with the thunder and lightning during the waking hours so that it wouldn’t cause me to involuntarily fly out of bed in the middle of a perfectly good dream involving a world free [Read More]

Seis de Mayo

Seis de Mayo

Seis de Mayo has seemed to come in wet and thunderous, and subsequently got out hot and humid.   What’s the deal with that?   Generally I don’t have a problem with thunderstorms.  The reason for that is because I grew up in Wyoming where I have no [Read More]

A Muzzled Anniversary

A Muzzled Anniversary

Eighteen years ago today, Wifey and I dressed up in duds nice enough to get us into the Sizzler, stood before the preacher (her uncle), and committed ourselves to a lifetime of marriage.  In the process of reciting my vows, I managed to drop the wedding ring while I [Read More]

Technically, The Term Is Alprazolam

Right about now, ladies and gentlemen, it’s raining here in San Antonio. Such a meteorological event has become a rare occurrence here in my neck of the woods as of late. As such, I can think of a couple of good reasons why we’ve been in a drought throughout [Read More]
