I Have Returned - $75 Poorer, But Still Here... and now... more to my story

I was looking through the news links on a website I frequent when I saw a link to a story about Jimmy Hoffa. They say that Jimmy Hoffa was buried in New Jersey. Maybe. Based on some 'information' I got from some people who may or may not have been there when he was 'offed,' I wrote a very short... Sign in to see full entry.

This is going to be a quick stop. I forgot I had a doctor's appointment until they called me to see if I could come in an hour later than scheduled. Well, seeing I had forgotten they had scheduled me while I was on the road, I neglected to write it down. So, I'm getting ready, and I wanted to sneak... Sign in to see full entry.

About All Those Early Morning Calls...

Hmmm. I sense a disturbing pattern developing in my life. Apparently, it has gotten out that people can call me between 8 a.m. and 9:30, my forever-ago no-call time. Since 8:15, I've gotten six calls—all about as important as washing your hands after washing the dishes. I said something to the last... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. The puppies were playful this morning, just as the dark crept back into its hole for another day. They decided the best place to play was between the wife and me. These things were born on January 3rd, and it is already getting difficult to tell puppies from mom and dad. They don't... Sign in to see full entry.

We had unexpected visitors last night that stayed far too late (11:30!) Besides that, while our home is 'livable,' it is not yet what we want it to be. Yes, we've been here closing in on three and a half years, but there was a lot to fix. Add in that we have several big dogs that want to be friendly... Sign in to see full entry.

While there are many reasons I love our dogs, one of the less-than-wonderful things is that when three puppies and four big dogs decide they need to go outside, there is no ignoring them. This morning, the call of nature occurred at 6:05. Verwayne (ME!) didn't appreciate being pulled out of bed to... Sign in to see full entry.

Ahhhh... what a night! We went out for dinner a little earlier than usual, but we didn't encounter the typical dinner-time traffic and congestion. Instead of the normal 30+ minute wait to be served, it was only about fifteen minutes. We hit the dance floor early, as we usually do, but it seemed the... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. It's Friday, and if nothing goes goofy, Lisa and I are going out to dinner and some dancing. We've missed the last three weeks, but tonight, we're going to give it a try. We both enjoy the trip, and for two hours or so, we can be 'kids' again! LOL The puppies that were born on January... Sign in to see full entry.

Another early morning start. I'm not sure who ever told salespeople that the best time of the day to call 'retired folks' was 8:01 am. I politely told the young lady that calling me before ten in the morning was always a bad time. I don't think she really understood why, but she understood when I... Sign in to see full entry.
