Despite the fact we have a large thunderstorm barreling down on us like the dogs of Hades, it is going to be a good day with a high of 84. Typically it has been 84 by the time I roll out of bed. I'm retired and often work until midnight or longer, and then spend another 45 minutes just talking with... Sign in to see full entry.

Food for thought. Life is not always as it seems. What you have wished for is not always best. What you have feared may become a blessing. Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday was a good day, and I still smile thinking about it. I got several late-night (10P to 1A) calls to wish me a happy birthday from friends from far away. Lisa and I took a walk down the street when it cooled off and the rain had stopped and talked with a few of our neighbors. It's funny when... Sign in to see full entry.

We have a MONSTER thunderstorm rolling in. The skies went from bright to nearly pitch black, so I am shutting down my computer. Take care! V Sign in to see full entry.

It's been a good start to the day, and I am hoping it carries on through the day. Today is my 69th birthday, and my wife took me downtown for breakfast. She even paid for it! LOL. She doesn't know that Fed-Ex is bringing her a gift this afternoon. She has been telling me she needed a new set of... Sign in to see full entry.

You Are Gonna Wanna See This

As I posted yesterday, we took the day off and I think I may have allowed my body to fight off an annoying and nasty little bug that had been making me feel "blah" for the last two weeks....

I woke up with a slightly stuffy nose this morning that probably came from sitting outside in the rain yesterday. We didn't get wet, but it sure was damp! It seems to be pretty decent today, with "only" a high of 90. In the UP, that would be blistering hot. In Florida, that's just another day in... Sign in to see full entry.

I made contact with an old (1970 high school schoolmate) friend a few weeks ago, and this morning, she called me. We had ridden the same school bus for ten years and we had even dated in high school for a few months. She is living in South Carolina now and is married for the second time. We had a...

Silly Is As Silly Does

If it weren't for phone calls, I'd have a lot of this stuff done much earlier, but it seems since I've been down here, I'm getting more morning calls. Oh well. It's a bit on the warm side, but nowhere near as bad as it has been lately. The extended forecast calls for a lot more weather like today vs... Sign in to see full entry.
