Too many phone calls this morning starting at 7 AM. I'm retired, and I don't 'do' 7 AM, but I took the call. With no exaggeration, I've had no less than fifteen calls this morning. Uggg! A friend of mine from London forgot we are five hours behind them and his was the second call I had. I will be on... Sign in to see full entry.

I Lost A Friend Today
A young man I have known for twenty-plus years succumbed to cancer today. I am the one who does press releases for the race track, and this is what I sent out. Brandon was a devout Christian man who lived his beliefs every day. I am proud he was my friend. Respectfully, Verwayne Early in the... Sign in to see full entry.
Another cool night, but I slept well. My brother is leaving to go back to Michigan either Friday or Saturday. He has to see his cardiac surgeon mid-week next week. In January of 2020, Jerry had a very rare lung transplant. He has A-negative blood, which made finding a donor a very rare thing. So... Sign in to see full entry.

First Peek
Whew! It got down to 50 here during the night! Even the UP was warmer than that last night! LOL As my wife alluded to last night, here is a photo I took yesterday of what will soon be my office. It is 12'x 13'... an odd dimension, but I didn't build it! We had just put down felt paper (the old... Sign in to see full entry.

Blame the wife. She's been in the shower too long, leaving me to my own devices. Did you hear about the actor who fell through the floorboards? He was just going through a stage. Sign in to see full entry.
It looks like a beautiful day ahead of us, with a high of 81. That's decidedly cooler than it has been in the past ten days. While we wait for a pair of new windows for 'the bedroom,' I think my office area is in line to be readied for its facelift. Not counting the bathroom, my office is the... Sign in to see full entry.

It's a nice day here, and we are enjoying it. We will be going out for lunch around two this afternoon for Mother's Day. I see my wife posted a little note about her mom. She was quite emotional yesterday as she remembered times she neglected her mom. It wasn't a happy time, but she finally settled... Sign in to see full entry.

We had a much cooler night than we have had in the last ten nights, and I slept like a rock. My wife went to bed far earlier than I did, and she also slept all night. I suspect we both needed that extra sleep. I don't remember a thing during the night - no gun fire (yes, that is a common thing in... Sign in to see full entry.

We have a tornado watch in our area, so I've been staying off the computer as much as possible. I doubt we will have any issues because of the topography of our area. We are the low spot of a lot of trees and one of the biggest 'mountains' there are in Florida. The church to the north of us is less... Sign in to see full entry.

Six Ways to Live a Happier Life
I'm not sure where this came from, but as I was running through some old files, I found it. I MIGHT have written this. The WORD file says it was created in 2013... either way, it's worth the read. V Six Ways to Live a Happier Life Most unhappiness comes from resisting life. Occasionally, we have... Sign in to see full entry.
