Work's been crazy lately. Lots of projects. Lots of projects w/ lots of problems. And as it happens, I'm in the midst of another self-improvement program (Dolberry v.155) so I'm trying to have a good attitude about it all. But it seems the more stuff I shrug/laugh off the more the fates throw at me. So today, the "m" key on my keyboard stops working. Dolberry v.155 says "well, it could have been worse ... it could have been the 'e'". Dolberry v.154 says if it's still not working tomorrow, he's going to throw the keyboard against the wall until either the "m" comes back online, or until all the letters go offline. We'll see which Dolberry shows up tomorrow.
May snow here tonight. 1-3". But then maybe 70 by the weekend. Yay for that.
Our dog (Cherish) is crazy. For one thing, you can't watch a basketball game w/ her. You mildly rebuke a referee for a missed call and she gets in your face all concerned ... "What happened? What's the matter?! Are you all right?!?!? Here, let me lick your face and it'll all be better."
She's way more playful then any dog I've had before. At night, I'll be typing on the keyboard and she'll want to play. Our play sessions involved growling and howling at one another. Not sure why she finds that enjoyable.
Tomorrow, I'm starting my baseball game countdown. Don't even try to talk me out of it. Resistance is futile.

Looking back through old yearbooks ....
Fun day today. APD's team lost again (0-5), but he got his first ever hit to the OF on a fly. He ripped it pretty good. Then yard work. Then went swimming. It was 90 again here today.
We spent the evening looking through some of our old yearbooks. Check this link for more.
Here's APD in 1952:
The beautiful KMD has gotten better looking everyday I've ever known her. Here she was in 1966:
Surprisingly, Dolberry hasn't changed much. Here I was in 1972 in my Grand Funk Railroad days:
Finally, here's Cherish from 1996. Looking stylish.

Why I'm posting more lately ...
One reason ... more T-giving food for me.
I noticed last year during the holidays that many of my conversations w/ assorted family members were shortened because of the advance notice on all-things-Dolberry provided by the blog. As a result, I was able to eat about 15% more than usual because of the less time wasted w/ unfilling small talk. So, w/ T-giving coming up (T minus 10 days), here's some additional Dolberry-related stuff. I will not be repeating these next week. Thank you for your consideration.
Dolberry has been very busy & has not had a chance to follow college football at all this year. I will not be prepared to talk at all about this next week, so there's no sense even bringing individual teams or games up.
I do expect to be able to follow college basketball though. That was really funny that UK lost to Gardiner-Webb. I will gladly entertain any conversations about how a team that lost to UNC by 53 last year could stomp UK at home. That is, as long as we're in line for more food. Not when I'm eating, please.
Work is fine. If you're a Republican, rest assured EPA is doing all that we can to ensure that all those aging hippies and wannabe Socialists don't ruin the American economy through some sort of sensible global climate change action. If you're a Democrat, rest assured EPA is doing all that we can to combat global warming by creating numerous and conflicting groups, divisions, and offices to design and promote sensible climate change action.
Softball is over. We won the championship. Dolberry will talk about this as long as you want. In fact, I'll go ahead and bring our scorebook. We can go at-bat by at-bat through our 15 game regular season and three-game tournament sweep. We can do this while the underlings are doing the dishes.
APD is fine. As far as I know, he will be available for questions. All he eats is bread anyway and he talks w/ his mouth full, so it's not really an issue w/ him.
I'm not on speaking terms w/ our dog, Cherish. I took her out for a run this Saturday over to the Lake. She ran about 0.25 miles than sat down and refused to take another step. Even a step back toward the car. I had to carry the stupid beast all the way back to the car. The beautiful KMD hypothesized that it was her dinner time and that she didn't feel like running as a result. Once home, she was running around like normal. BAD DOG!
The beautiful KMD is more beautiful than ever, but you'll be able to see that yourselves, so there's no sense going on about it.
I like lots of new music and bands, but I do not expect you to be interested in them. Rest assured, Dolberry is NOT interested in any new music, bands, movies, blogs, etc., that you may find interesting.
Dolberry has not followed the NFL much either. Certainly not last week or the first week of the season. No sense discussing.
If you have any other topics you'd like to pre-discuss in advance of the feeding frenzy, go ahead and post a comment. Otherwise, for your own safety, please do not get between me and the turkey. (Not Dad, the edible turkey.)

Softball Update
We're in the tournament (Cary A/B fall league). We are #3 seed in a 7 team tourney. We won last night 18-7, despite my cool 0-2 off the bench. Play the #2 seed tomorrow night (who narrowly edged #7 seed 18-17).
Here's a picture of Cherish & APD, just so this entry wasn't a total waste of time.
