Boy, oh boy, it rained hard last night! Water roared down the street, at least 5-6" deep. Our dogs are rarely fearful of thunder and lightning, but all four of them wanted to be in bed and under the covers. Buster, our biggest dog (and outweighs Lisa by about ten pounds at 138), was trying his best... Sign in to see full entry.

I meant to add this to my entry earlier, but I forgot. Part 33 of my book, "I Remember Judy—A Love Story," is a particularly touching chapter in my life. It's not a long chapter, but it was a touching moment that I still remember like this morning. If you were to read no more than this chapter, I... Sign in to see full entry.
Good morning. Lisa and I got up a little earlier than normal today, grabbed a bit of breakfast, and have been sitting outside, discussing our fathers for the last two, almost three hours. I would never say my father was 'better' than hers, but sadly, it was true. Her mom was a much better mother... Sign in to see full entry.

I think the 95-102 degrees and the ultra-high humidity have finally gotten to me. It's been a long time since I've felt this weak and knocked-kneed. I typically walk the one-mile round trip to the corner "meat store" three blocks west and then two blocks north from our place. I am a big meat eater... Sign in to see full entry.

I've been lax in posting in this area for the last week or so, and for that, I apologize. I'm not sure whether I will be changing or increasing my word count today, but I am finally gathering up my strength after walking six miles, walking from the far east side of town to the far west side of town...

Alright... I knew I should have posted the photo of the ay last, but I didn't. I need to go outside and be with my wife until I can get myself under control. Right now, I just need to be with the only person I really and truly love. I'll be back... I promise. Sign in to see full entry.

I am going to be brief today—or at least right now, if you don't mind. We have an inspector coming to inspect our new shower unit. I'm not a professional, but for four years, I owned 36 apartments (for some stupid reason!), and I learned to do all kinds of things. He has an appointment to be here by... Sign in to see full entry.

Yeah, I'm up awful early. A friend of ours had car problems on US-10, the major east-west freeway that runs from Jacksonville, Florida, all the way to California (and I've driven every mile of it both coming and going, just like I've driven every mile of I-75 north from Miami to Sault Ste, Marie,...

Another typical Florida spring day is ahead, with temps hovering near 96 to 98. Yippie! LOL. They keep telling us we will have some rain soon, but so far, nothing. I see a lot of rain on and off further downstate, but nothing here in the last few days. I just looked around my office and saw all four... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning! We actually got the pups to allow us to sleep most of the night. Other than their getting to be routine wanting to go outside at 1 am, they didn't bother us until 9 this morning. They are almost ten months old now and beginning to mature. I will miss the puppy play that made us laugh... Sign in to see full entry.
