I had a good night of sleep last night, not awakening until almost 9:30,a very late time for me. It's about 60 right now, headed to a whopping 65 for the day but at least it is sunny with very little wind. Most people associate August as one of the hottest months of the year, second only to July.... Sign in to see full entry.

I wasn't sure how Lisa would do here, but it looks as if she is finding a niche here. Thank you for your kindnesses. I know that I'll get over the shine of my new dime in time, but she still fascinates and makes me weak-kneed just looking at her. She's up taking her shower before bedtime, leaving me...

I love it. I see that Lisa is starting to get more traffic than I am. Good for her. I'll tell Lisa that her fan base is asking her questions and ask her to respond. My wife is a highly intelligent woman with a good heart. We've both been through a lot in our lives on different levels, but it our... Sign in to see full entry.
I'm hoping for a lazy day today. We've already hit our expected high of 62 for the day. It rained relatively hard all night last night. I hear Lisa upstairs getting ready for our morning walk, so this will be short for right now. I'm feeling better, still sluggish, but at least I'm moving vs what I... Sign in to see full entry.

After a long talk with my wife, I have decided to hang around at least through the end of 2020. This 'agreement' that we reached is predicated on the fact that I am going to limit myself to certain hours in my office until the weather up here changes. After that, Lisa is willing to concede me... Sign in to see full entry.
I slept for nine more hours. I think that bug is gone. I barely remember anything for most of the last 24 hours other than feeling that I was in a fog and the tender whisperings of my wife. Somewhere, I remember her listening to my lungs for signs of pneumonia, taking my temp (normal), and giving me... Sign in to see full entry.

I woke up about 11PM tonight, feeling much better. I'm not sure what I had, but I'm glad that it is gone. I spent some time talking with my wife, and we had some thoughtful words. We stood in the backyard with the dogs, watching the sky and listening to the owls talk back and forth. As we came in,... Sign in to see full entry.
It seems that the village is doing some work on the water lines before winter gets serious. They are doing a lot of feed line work, and they stopped in to tell us that tey were going to shut our water off for about an hour. It took them about 50 minutes, but we have water again. We took the dogs out... Sign in to see full entry.
We've had a rare loss of Internet connection here this morning. It was on about 8:45 and went down about 8:55. It came back up about 12:10 this afternoon. I had plenty to do off-line, but it was irritating to not be able to 'make the connection.' My headache of yesterday seems to have disappeared,... Sign in to see full entry.

It's beginning to rain fairly hard here. The thunder and lighting are lighting up the sky in magnificent fashion. I had just about fell asleep when Buster, our big black dog, wanted outside. I had been doing some work on the 'doggie-door,' so I had closed it. He likes to sit outside under the big... Sign in to see full entry.
