It was Frankie Valli who sang the title song from the movie,'Grease' where he sang 'Grease is the word!' If he lived here, the song would be ' Cold is the word!' It was -7 last night, with a projected high of 18 today. I can't really complain, but what the heck? I'm gonna anyway! It's supposed to... Sign in to see full entry.

This is important stuff to know for survival in the forest. Sincerely. If you ever get lost in the woods, find an opossum and follow it. Sooner or later, an opossum always makes its way to the middle of a road. Sign in to see full entry.
It's 5 degrees right now. That's cold, but at least it is a +5 and not a -5 like we had so often last year. Buster, my big black dog, is out laying in the snow, listening for his coyote buddies to howl. I live about three blocks from one of the oldest cemeteries in the area with grave sites back...

Things to do, things to do. While I will end up making some pocket change out of this, I've managed to land several small jobs that I can do semi-quickly, but I'm starting to hit a speck of ability to write again. Yeah, I'm still belly-aching about that November incident. Never underestimate the... Sign in to see full entry.

I met with my doctor and he found nothing physical, but ordered a big batch of lab work. The important ones will post results by Friday. As I posted in a comment, I volunteered for this appointment based on a 'sense' that something was going on in me. My doctor has figured out that my 'sense' of... Sign in to see full entry.

For those who worried about my friend yesterday, I did reach out to a family member of theirs and notified someone else of my suspicions. I was told that the family was already worried about them, and thanked me for the call. I don't know where it went from there yet, but at least someone closer to... Sign in to see full entry.

All politics aside, this is a real story. On Feb 3rd, 2016, (four years ago on Monday) I underwent what was to have been a four hour surgery that ended up being a lot like the fabled 'three hour tour' of Gilligan and the Skipper. I was supposed to have had this surgery in 2014, but Obama yanked my... Sign in to see full entry.
The day is off to a weird start already. People in emotional trouble reaching out for support and an ear. I don't mind listening, but I got an uneasy feeling talking to one of these people this morning. I hope I don't get a follow-up call from a relative of her later on. I'm slowly working on small...

It's snowing today. Not horrifically hard, 'the world is gonna end' kind of snow, just the First of February snow. I just looked at the fifteen day forecast, and this relatively mild winter looks like it will continue here. No temps below 12-15 degrees at night and nothing much below 25 for the day...
