I've been a painting contractor since 1979, with forays into other ventures along the way. I have painted shopping malls, Victorian mansions, new builds, striped parking lots, thousands of homes and businesses, freeway retaining walls and underpasses...pretty much anything that stands still long enough to be painted. I've run crews and been a foreman (forewoman, I guess) and taught many people the craft.
Dogmuse is recently reincarnated. In my 16 month absence, it continued to get a fair bit of traffic, according to sitemeter. Oh dear, another abandoned blog? Nope. I am 50 and live in Michigan with two Rottweilers, a Nottweiler and three accidental cats. I do agility and paint houses and write sometimes. My favourite icecream flavor is peanut butter. I can probably beat your ass at Scrabble. How's that for succinct?

Great response! You are the wearer of your body and you know its strengths and limitations. Sometimes people just blurt out things, like when my mouth gets going before my brain can hit first gear. Ha. So now we can call you Dolly! This is the continuing saga of Dolly and Pedro. Cool. Looking forward to more installments.
Doncha just love having a snappy comeback for those types of comments?
I have people make comments about how fit I am for my age. My standard response is: "The put-down-the-fork-and-walk-away-diet has really worked for me". . . They usually get the point.
Jazzy spazzy!
I love to totally fluster the old school types by opening doors for them. I caused a 20 person pile-up at a seminary we were visiting to witness a friend's graduation. He refused to go through the door until I let him open it. It was hilarious, and we both grinning ear to ear by the end of it.
Sort of like 'wanna dance?'
Why don't my painters ever have a sense of humor like that, dolly?
