After a harrowing night/day, I’m glad to report two things.  I’m tougher than I thought, being that I didn’t die and the other thing being that I’ve got a clean and healthy colon.  The doc even said that I can probly go 5 years until I need to schedule another colonoscopy.  What a relief.
Of course [...]

John Mayer: Say (music video from The Bucket List)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last Friday night PD and I invited friends in for pizza, beer and The Bucket List. We enjoyed all three immensely. I’d been looking forward to watching the movie for quite awhile and it’s been all rented out at the video store. I have [...]

BEYOND SENSELESS

Funerals are never fun. I was dreading this one more than usual.
Imagine The Nicest Man you ever met in your life. He’s soft spoken and never, ever utters a harsh word to anyone. He preaches at a Baptist Church on Sunday. He reads his Bible before work every morning. He [...]

You know, my life is weird. It may not be much of a life, but damn, it’s interesting. I’m not exactly sure if it is my life. per se, or if it’s my perspective. Maybe it’s just that I’m so easily amused and entertained. Either way, prepare yourself for a weird [...]

BITTERSWEET

I’m not sure how much I shared here about the crappy week I just spent. It involved just about the entire gamut of Murphy’s Law and then some. Next time I schedule a week off work, well… never mind. Let’s just say that there are a few things worse than work stress.
Today [...]

I been totally busy the last few days getting our hurricane aftermath house back in order after making our new living room and the guest room for the grandkids.  The little spare room which used to house the monstrous computer desk and all it’s craziness, a single bed, a nightstand, PD’s stereo and a zillion [...]

Well, isn’t this just a fine How-dee-doo. I guess you are going to have to exercise your index fingers and go here to watch the video for my favorite song of the week. It seems You Tube is now part of the conspiracy to drive me nutz. Let me know how you [...]

AM AN INCH?*

I met Jesse when he was about four years old.  He was a really cool little kid.  As he got older, I started giving him riddles to solve.  He was pretty good at them.  I never thought it was necessary to tell him that I am terrible with riddles.  My mind just isn’t logical like [...]

Still Funky - Kaspar Galli

So the other day I get mail from our friend Kaspar Galli, inviting me to view his new video on YouTube. It is quite funky and I wanted to share it with you. And guys, if you’re wondering if there’s anything in it (the video) for you, the answer [...]

Some of my angst is a result of conflicting emotions. That’s nothing new for me, I can remember feeling “torn” for most of my life. One of the reasons I have such a hard time making decisions is that because most of the time I can see both sides of every issue. [...]

I’m not finding much time to write here or do much visiting with you. We’re trying to get the kitchen presentable for Christmas, shoveling snow, that kind of stuff. I’m not getting much crossed of the To Do list, so why am I falling into bed at night and out by the time [...]

Crazy week I’m having here, thanks for askin’.
Therapy progress was looking grim until this morning when I woke up and felt like a human being.  I’m feeling more hopeful.  My ultrasonic and hands-on massage yesterday was accompanied by a quite informative half-hour long oration about the history of the states of Mississippi and [...]

If you’ve never read experienced Pointless Drivel, authored by my good bud Brad aka Mr. Fabulous, you really owe it to yourself. He’s one of the funniest, creative people I know. Yes, he has a penchant for the irreverent, but if you can stomach overlook that, you’ll fall in love. [...]

GOOD WEEK

Still counting my blessings… and thinking over the past week and all the good things that happened. I truly am blessed with some great people in my life and I am truly thankful for that.
Early in the week my son, Michael emailed me pictures of his new furniture arranged in his new apartment. [...]

HANDS ACROSS THE WATER

Does this title bring to mind any song lyrics? Think back, way back. The year was 1971 and the words are from a song medley called Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey by Paul McCartney from the album RAM. Now I have those words running through my head over and over and over… shoot.
Anyway, [...]

I’m watching the lunar eclipse this morning. Off and on, of course, while getting ready for work.
I want to wish my good friend Matt a very Happy Birthday today.

RECIPE FOR A GREAT TIME

Saturday afternoon Kate and I spent at the fair, eating food which was incredibly bad for us but tasted incredibly good. Couldn’t persuade her to ride any Midway rides, but hey, she’s 50, what do you want? When we were growing up we probably rode enough rides to last us a [...]

KATE AND ME

I had a little change of plans.  Originally I was embarking on my “road trip” yesterday when I got home from work.  But, due to my own procrastination practices and a detail or two out of my control, I’m leaving this morning instead.  My head is in a much better place than it was.  Not [...]

MOVIN’ ON UP

Yeah, I’d planned to write today but it seems everyone is dying and it’s hard to push that fact aside, I’m finding. Three people I care about have “finished their time here” since the weekend. I will be busy the next few days and in and out of town, but will try to [...]

I really hate that I don’t know enough about computers.  And I hate asking people questions about them.  Once in awhile I run into someone who is kind and patient and seems willing to share their knowledge.  But more often than not, I’m made to feel bothersome and rarely get a straight answer.  It’s like [...]

AWEDS & ENZ

Hi Kids.  Haven’t been on here much, am having some aggravating computer issues.  I come on and within 5 minutes I’m fed up.  I’m not one to seek out a nervous breakdown.  It will happens when it happens, I’m not going to invite one.
Hey, have you been over to see JuJubee?  Her blog was mentioned in [...]
