The DeeZee Spirit by Darrell Zegers, February 4, 2021

It has been another lousy week weather-wise. January was about three months long. I’ve been trapped in my little shop here at home. There is always a project out there.

Winter has arrived with a vengeance. I hate snow. I have fallen down on my rear end so many times. I’m thinking about strapping a pillow to it! I have a habit of not tying my shoes. (Too fat to bend over.) I went out to my shed during the snowstorm to get a shovel. There were...

Well, the madding crowd has left. I’m talking about my daughters and their children, two dogs, two cats, and a chipmunk. I almost forgot, also in a glass cage, two geckos that had to be fed live worms now and then. The dogs fought with the cats most of the day. The big dog would run...
