I'm listening to the #freshinkgroup podcast, and once again, the HARDCOVER edition of my tribute to my wife is #24 on their bestseller list. That is absolutely crazy. They put out a lot of books, and to be that high this quickly is mind-blowing.... Sign in to see full entry.

Finally, at about 4 a.m., I realized that an old cell phone I used in our bedroom to get email notifications was chiming. That noise meant the internet had been restored. I've been trying to catch up using my cell phone, but my eyesight is not good enough to do that. I'll be busy doing that for two... Sign in to see full entry.

My internet service is is still down following another direct hit by yesterday's severe tropical storm/ weak hurricane. Our power was restored about 10 pm, but as of 945 this morning, the 'net is a bridge too far. Last August 30th, 2023, we had the same problem. The power was off for 13 days and the...

It was a wild and crazy night last night with all the thunder and lightning and wind. It is still raining like crazy but the thunder and lightning has let up. Are power and our internet are down, so I'm being forced to do this the old fashioned way - on my cell. We are all okay. The pups were a... Sign in to see full entry.
It's 4:20 am. One of the pups had to go outside and it is raining something fierce. It went out, did it's thing and was back inside in less than a minute. We are getting heavy rain with lots of thunder in the sky. The power is out but my cell is still fully charged. The wind is loud and constantly... Sign in to see full entry.

We stayed together and uptight during the hurricane's first onslaught. The second and much bigger segment of the storm is about three hours away and coming fast. It doesn't look as if it will become a hurricane right now, but ya never know. While the rain has stopped (for now), we are going to take... Sign in to see full entry.

I fully intended to return here yesterday and complete my thoughts, so I will do that now. I am overwhelmed by the luck and the love in my life. I never thought I would be happy again after losing Judy. I was 'old' and I saw nothing but sadness in my future. It was a call from Lisa late one evening... Sign in to see full entry.

Have you ever tried to write something and then got overwhelmed by the thought of what you were going to write about? That's me today. I wanted to tell you how I am feeling about my life right now, but emotions overwhelm rational thought. I'm going to get myself a bit more 'under control' and get... Sign in to see full entry.

Four years ago, at noon today, my long-time minister and high school friend legally married Lisa and me. It was and remains one of the happiest days of my life. Second chances at love are rare. To have found Judy, lived with her for decades, and then found Lisa is beyond rare. It's divine... Sign in to see full entry.

Another day, another heat advisory. At roughly 9:35, it is already 85 degrees. Life goes on. I had some excitement in the middle of the night. It was lightly raining, and the pups needed to go out to go potty. I begrudgingly got up, put my house coat on, and let them out the back door. I never... Sign in to see full entry.
