Word of the Day

Deceptacon - A person suspected of being a liar, or untruthful.

Since it was such a beautiful day today, I decided to hike down the old logging road. It's a long hike. Plus, the old logging road hasn't been used in a long time. I haven't hiked it since last summer. It was a bit daunting to have to blaze trail through grass and weeds that were taller then me. I made it to my folks' cabin with only on fall and a couple of banged up shins. Of course, my knee started complaining when I was only half way to my destination. Then my hip followed suit. By the time I got to my folks' place both my knee and my hip were screaming bloody murder at me, sure that I was trying to kill them. For the most part I ignored them. When they got too outrageous I told them to shut up. If Devil Dog Daughter can go through bootcamp with a broken hip and Marine Combat Training with a broken hip and a broken femur, my knee and hip can just shut up and stop complaining. I took a couple of advil. And I drank a beer. My knee and hip are still grousing but I don't plan to irritate them anymore tonight.

The blackberries are just starting to ripen. In a day or so I'll go out and pick again. Shhh! Don't tell my knee and hip.
