    Awsum, I'd love those old photos. Too bad. I have photos of records I got off the Internet, but I wish I had a real record to show him. It's hard to imagine a whole generation is growing up with no ideas of records. The science behind how the sound is electronically picked up from vibrations of...

    I tutored today, and more or less out of the blue, the girl asked about dry ice, so I got some info on it and put it together for something for her to read about. I learned stuff, too. I still have to get the records/record player sheet together for the boy. It's complicated, and it's a...

    Here's the girl's drawing of a horse. Remember, she's only 7 years old. Could you do as well?

    What bridge is that? The Triboro?

    Welcome back, 1st Officer. I know Awsum called you Phil, but I usually like to make short names out of a person's screen name. So, what should I call you? 1st? Off?

    Good afternoon. I'm glad your back is feeling better, Awsum. Try not doing too much that might stress it till it heals. I'm thinking vacuuming and mopping. You've probably already done that, though, so I hope it didn't make your back worse. Today, my friend Karen came up, mainly to pick up the...

    I'm so sorry to hear you hurt your back, Awsum. I hope it gets better soon.

    Now for the riding report. I'm leasing Maija (pronounced Maya, like the South American group). First, I rode Dixie. She was lame, and I didn't want to have to coddle another chronically lame horse, as I did Penny for years, so then Deb suggested I try Maija. I was leery of the fact that she has...

    Trit, you're the fireworks expert. You should be here today. Would you believe there's nowhere in Ithaca that will have professional fireworks tonight? They did them Wednesday at Stewart Park, and Ithaca College did them at commencement. When I was a kid in Philadelphia, they always had...

    Awsum, if I ride at Deb's, she has a mounting block just like it. I'd rather get rid of it. After all, I do have a step stool if I really need something to use to get on, and that folds and is a lot easier to store against the day it's needed. I'm glad Karen wants the mounting block. It works...

    It's been a full day. In the morning, I tutored. I forget just how it came up, but I told the older boy about solar power and how you can set a fire with a magnifying glass. Oh, yes -- now I remember! One of his vocab words was "ignite." Well, then he wanted to know about solar energy, so...

    My birthday's coming up, and tomorrow, friends want to take me out to eat. First, tutoring in the morning, then lunch with Karen at Tokyo Hibachi Japanese Restaurant, Ithaca, NY 14850, Menu, Online Order, Take Out, Online Coupon, Discount Menu, Customer Review and then dinner with Deb, Harriet...

    Lizzie, that's depressing. If you can afford to give up that job, I'd say do it. If you really need the money, then redrawing the boundaries sounds like the next best plan. Good luck, whatever you decide.

    Here I am! I've been busy. I tutored this morning, and then I spent the rest of the day till now getting Friday's lesson together. When the kids want to read about something specific, then I do research on the Internet and put something together. The other day, the girl had a vocabulary word...

    It's chilly here lately -- high in the 60s today, and it's been raining all day. I'm glad the horse owner and I changed our plans when we heard the weather report and did the photo shoot of her horse yesterday evening instead of this morning. I got some good photos, which I sent her last night...

    Bill & I decided long ago that Tom would be our last house pet, and I decided long ago that Penny would be the last horse I owned, but that didn't mean I would give up horses. Just last night, Deb (remember her, of the horse portraits?) posted to a local email list that she has some horses for...

    No sign of Tom. Bill & I talked it over this morning, and we think he must be dead. He was old and frail, and going this long without food would probably do him in if something else didn't get him before this. It's interesting that his friend, Jacob, the orange cat, hasn't been here to visit...

    I just heard from my landlord. Jacob has been around. So Tom's not with him. But I think Jacob knows he's gone, which is why he hasn't come around to see him. If only Jacob could talk!

    I need all your vibes for my cat, Tom, to return home. He's been gone since Sunday morning, and he's now 18 years old, deaf, and feeling his age. Still, he's been in fairly good health and he has disappeared before for about 3 days, but it has always worried me, and now more than ever, since...
