Just A Rambling Man

Well, the funeral is over and people have all gone home. Everyone says, "If you need something, just let me know!" but they don't really mean it. They will avoid you like you have Herpes. Why? because people don't know what to say to the spouse of someone who died way too soon or via suicide, so... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank You

Thank you to those who have left comments about my friend. I'm on my way over there again this morning, but wanted to thank the people at Blog It that have become like an extended family. V Sign in to see full entry.

Rest In Peace - A Serious Post for Today

I grew up on a farm in rural west central Michigan and was driving tractors when I was six. My Father and Grandfather constantly harped on me about be extremely cautious of the PTO or power take off unit on the back of virtually every tractor we had. They all had a guard on them but my Dad would... Sign in to see full entry.

Excuses, Excuses! Part Two

You know, I have a dozen different excuses for being kind of sluggish here. First and foremost, my NaNo is now at just shy of 31,000 words. Nothing I am horribly proud of yet, but I'll use it later next year. I have been charged with 'babysitting' my two grandsons, Bruce and Johnny. Bruce is a... Sign in to see full entry.

"It's A Springtime Thing" Revisited

If you were reading back then, this short story was written here and then went to e-book and included in my three story book, "The Reality of Perception." Well then. If you have paid attention to things from my life, you'll recall that my brother-in-law died earlier this spring (2016) from... Sign in to see full entry.

To Sleep, Perchance to Dream...

Thanks to the drugs, I slept more than I was awake yesterday. During my medication addled mind, I came up with a new entry for my "Let's Write!" column. I feel better but not good. Still, we persevere. It got down to 22 degrees last night. Lovely weather. I'm going to shower to attempt to wash some... Sign in to see full entry.

The Nightime, Sniffling, Sneezing, Coughing, Aching, Stuffyhead, Fever, So-

I've 'officially' hit over 25,000 words in my NaNo and have it verified. I've managed that despite this horrible flu like cold I've been fighting off. I've spent the morning working on it and hit the spot I needed to stop and I did. I'm gonna grab a NyQuyl assisted nap and I'll be back! PS: The... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank You Dr. Greene

I was working on the epilogue of "The Totally Unnecessary Death" and as usual, I had a string of music playing real soft in the background. A song I had originally heard on the television show "ER" came on and something that apparently been suppressed all of my life came bubbling out. The clip (in... Sign in to see full entry.

Just A Note

Between my Nano, which is going better than I ever thought, and this horrendous cold I managed to get, my work here is a tad curtailed. It is finally letting up some but I could barely breath there for a day or so. I think I've hit over 12,000 in my NaNo and am rolling along. Talk soon! V Sign in to see full entry.

Paul Simon Had It Right

I was always a big fan of the "Funkel Brothers, " Paul and Gar. That's a play on their last names, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. I heard them in concert back in 1971 or 72 and the guy beside me kept calling the "Funkel Brothers" and the name stuck with me all this time. In this 1975 solo album, Paul...
