No one ever expected Dale Hansen to say this about Michael Sam. Thank you Dale for being on the right side of history.

Attack Of The SAD Balloons

So...I go walking in to Kroger on Studemont to pick up some dog food for The Calvinator.  It was late in the evening and I had been at a meeting so I was a bit tired.  I go walking in and there was a bevy of SAD balloons that accosted me in the entry way!  Even Tweety Bird is on the SAD conspiracy!  I can't get away from the reminders.  I'll be happy when Single Awareness Day is over.

Amongst all of the SAD reminders, its nice to see Mardi Gras decorations.  I snapped this photo at Whole Foods and then snatched up a piece of King Cake.

It was time for The Calvinator's annual exam.  The end of 2012 was a rough time for him and 2013 was spent making sure he took his meds and making sure he didn't get sick.

His bet was very pleased with his progress when she saw him on Monday.  We're going to make a slight change in his medication regimen which may put some change in my pocket.

I don't know how much longer we will be together.  He is 14 but perky.  Everyday is gift.

Pansies. Just because.

I walked into Kroger and was immediately struck by the number of balloon ribbons hanging over my head.  Judging by the number of balloons and the special area set up for dipping strawberries in chocolate and the big tent outside for flowers and the number of heart shaped boxes of chocolates it looks like they're hoping to be busy on Single Awareness Day.

Costume Change

I know that one of these days I won't wake up because The Calvinator will have mauled me to death while I'm asleep.  He's not big on wearing clothing so when I do get him to put on an article of clothing, I have to bribe him with Cheez Whiz or peanut butter.

Friday was significant for two reasons.
1. It was Go Red For Women Day.  Everyone was encouraged to wear something red to bring awareness to heart disease.  It is the number one killer of women in the United States.

The Calvinator shows his support of Go Red For Women Day.

2. It was the day of the Opening Ceremony for the 2014 Winter Olympics.  The Calvinator and I watched the pageantry until I fell asleep.  I had to go back and watch the torching lighting on demand.  The pic that I posted of The Calvinator seemed to be quite popular with people on Facebook and Twitter.
