New login

Yes, folks. He said he would do it it therefore it is done. Larry and I now have separate logins as you can see right there under the title, (go ahead and look) right next to the date, instead of coblerl, it clearly says beckycobler, which obviously is not Larry, therefore it must be moi.  Apparently this was necessary [...]

M2 Must Have Worked

The positive effect of M2 on Mike’s latest outing, which was reported as, “Rocks starter Michael Penn (pictured) was impressive“, was not lost on me. I take back all the bad things I said about M2.
P.S. Mike – since you were chastising me for not posting enough – you’ll notice there are 2 posts in [...]

Creativity vs. ???

This is Larry – I’ve got to figure out how to give Becky her own login . . .
Any way – Becky has WAY TOO MUCH TIME on her hands. Setting “little Mark” up for all those poses (see Spring Cleaning below). . . reminds me of the PC vs. Mac commercial. I feel like [...]

1. Whining

My friend (name withheld to protect the innocent) suggested this, so the idea is not original. Plus I loved all the comments re: My Favorite Things. Comments tell me something about you. Comments tell me that you read. Comments tell me that something I wrote demanded response. So at her suggestion, these are the Ten Things I Hate-or at least they really [...]

Good-bye, Mark Raikes (II)

Good-bye Mark

By Becky
“Time to say good-bye,” no one says it better, or rather sings it better than Andrea Boccelli and it kept ringing in my head as I helped Mark Raikes prepare to go today. He is off to Wilmington, fulfilling his destiny as Mike’s mojo man.
But first, your weekly Idol moment. (This is for [...]

Spring Cleaning

Spring Cleaning

By Becky
I thought I would so I did. The weather was perfect (for a Michigan April) four days in a row. I should be more generous, so, pretty close to perfect for any April day anywhere. Thursday and Firday were tackle the screened-in porch days, which involved first de-crapipng it with the help of [...]

It’s a great day in Michigan!

By Becky 
(Randy, you can skip this paragraph-you won’t know what I’m talking about)
I know Larry is pretty happy this morning, the first Idol-post-Sanjaya day of the 2007 season. I clearly recall predicting he would last until the final seven, when the teeny-bopper/sympathetic grandmother vote was finally bested by everyone with functioning ears! I waivered slightly yesterday. I [...]

The Perfect Birthday Present

Do not open album until you read the blog!

Mike’s buddy Mark Raikes

By Becky
What do you get the man who has everything? More accurately, what do you get the man who could use almost anything but who has pared his always moving minor league life down to fit into four quite stuffed Rubbermaids? This is the [...]

“These are a few of my favorite things . . . “

By Becky
Saturday morning Randy, Larry and I left for the volleyball match in Aurora, about an hour from Randy’s house. Michigan’s first match was at 8:00 a.m. so we got going shortly after 7:00. Since Erin graduated, we no longer feel the need to be there early enough to say “hi” before the match or [...]

Evolution

Yesterday was the first day I missed posting since finding this ‘magic screen’ at the beginning of the week. I am sure the three fans who read this were pretty upset but the rest of the world moved through the 24 hours normally. Except for Don Imus, who as far as I know is not one [...]
