It’s International Cat. Actually, here in the Marks house, everyday is International Cat Day. Everyone knows that cats rule the world. We humans are here only to serve our feline overlords. Here are two recent pictures of my two overlords. They have such a rough life, don’t they? I’m off to feed the princesses their…
I think this is Ivory’s favorite place to hangout during the day. At night she likes to sleep on top of my torso or on top of my head. Cats are gonna cat.
Ivory never used to get up on tables. Not so anymore. She’s been doing it more and more. I think she was looking at my parent’s wedding pictures. But who knows. Cats are going to cat.
In the last few years, I’ve really started to enjoy working in the flower bed in front of my house. I’ve slowly been adding perennials each year to make things easier for me as I get older. There are still annuals in there, but they haven’t grown as big as in the past. Last year,…

I took this picture of my neighbor’s lawn as I was coming home for lunch. Thankfully the snow didn’t stick beyond that little bit. Will Winter ever end? We’re only two months from the beginning of summer. I’d like to be able to put my winter clothes away pretty soon. When I went to Easter…
Spring in Cleveland. At least it didn’t accumulate beyond this. By the afternoon, the temperature was in the 40s. Still, I used the weather as an excuse to stay inside and read, study and watch tv. Oh yeah. I did a workout video as well. It isn’t going to last long. We’re supposed to get…
This is hanging on the wall in my brother’s garage gym. My dad and brothers all went in together at Christmas to get me my own barbell. I’ve been using my brother, Billy’s, this whole time. And it works perfectly. But it is designed for a man’s hands. I have small hands. The one they…
