In order to 'do something,' I decided that I need to at least be working at writing, even if it was re-working some of my older stuff. I've begun to post my second book, 'The Struggle Within' back in 2014, the only year that even came close to the grief and sorrow that has been the past 2018 and... Sign in to see full entry.

A do-nothing day is on my agenda for today. Other than a quick trip downtown to get my mail, I intend to spend the day in my gym pants and socks. I've got my music list playing in the background and a Word document open, anxiously waiting to see if any words begin to appear on it while Steely Dan... Sign in to see full entry.

Whew. I left to go to the Soo, and ran into some heavily iced over roads the last few miles there. On the way home, I drove the last sixty miles at about twenty miles an hour due to the slippery conditions. I got my meds and a nice tension headache to go with them. The headache wasn't from the...

I have to run over to the Soo today as it looks like I'll be making a run down state sometime either Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday to pick up Kagan. For those who don't recall, he is almost thirty and is like my adopted son. His father suicided in July 2018 and his mother died of alcohol and drug... Sign in to see full entry.

Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations. - George Bernard Shaw Sign in to see full entry.
I was restless all night. I'm not sure what was keeping my brain awake, but something obviously was, so I came here. Once I spout off some words here, I probably will be at least laying down again. Sleep is optional at this late stage of the morning, but I will lay back to think for a bit. It was a... Sign in to see full entry.

A bit of trivia. Little known fact - Captain Hook bought his hook at a second hand store. Sign in to see full entry.
We had a very quiet and reflective New Year's Eve. I took three calls after 9PM, spent an hour and twenty minutes over the course of the night talking to old (OLD) friends. People I had known most of my life. A true night of ' Auld Lang Syne.' I intend to stay still today. I'm feeling well, I just... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy New Year!
While I intend to 'be around,' I have plans to be with my dogs tonight. In the mean time, here is something I posted on Twitter last night that I hope that you will enjoy. This video always brings tears to my eyes. Be well, be happy, be safe, and be loved. Always your friend! V THIS is how I was... Sign in to see full entry.
The View From My Place
The storm had let up for a bit, but it is snowing again right now. This shot is looking to the east. You can just see the corner of my house in the extreme right. The building that is at the end, three blocks down, is the Newberry Area High School. I turned around to face west, and you can see my... Sign in to see full entry.
