My Tribute To A Hero of Mine

I am approaching the age of 62 and in my life, I've had exactly three heroes; my Father, Al Kaline, Detroit Tiger Hall of Famer, and Dale Earnhardt. We are coming up on the 14th anniversary of the death of Earnhardt and I'd like to pay my tribute to the man. I had met him twice, both times were just... Sign in to see full entry.

Baby It's Cold Outside!

My wife has settled down a bit and I am grateful for that. I took her in for blood work and she has a decent pneumonia setting in. They gave her a shot of Rocephen which is a very fast acting broad spectrum antibiotic, meaning it covers both gram negative and gram positive bacterias. She is catching...

Reflections...

My wife Judy has been quite sick lately to the point I thought she might be admitted to the hospital but they saw her tonight in the walk in clinic and dosed her up with three or four different meds. She is breathing better with less tossing and turning and for that, I am very grateful. It bothers... Sign in to see full entry.

Make Mine With Double Bacon!

Having a degree in Applied Biological Science, a fancy term for "I took a lot of biology classes," I had to laugh when I read this article. (The U.S. Government is poised to withdraw longstanding warnings about cholesterol. The words in the headline should begin with caps... but then again, this is... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't Call Us, We'll Call You!

My cell phone has been acting up lately and while checking the website of my carrier, I saw one I wanted at a very nice price "for a limited time only!' type deal. Having done a lot of business with this company (my company owns 23 phones from them), I called and asked them to hold one for me and... Sign in to see full entry.

A Day of Family

It is amazing that even under the worst of stress, when a family that is scattered far away finally manages to gather, a day becomes a wonderful thing.Our daughter is also a nurse and just as she knew growing up, the families of nurses, medics, police, firemen, and the military know that Sunday is...

Home From The Road

Whew. It seems that no matter how you tell yourself that you aren't gonna stay all day at this guy's house, you end up staying there too long... and I did. My intention was to be home by 5PM latest and we all know where good intentions take us. I pulled into the drive of home about 12:25 AM. My eyes... Sign in to see full entry.

Off To See The Wizard...

Well maybe not quite that far but I am off to the Tulip City of Michigan, beautiful downtown Holland to visit a friend and do a little business. When the Tulip Fetival starts up this spring, I'll wander over to get all the photos I can of the flowers. Today, nothing quite that nice ahead but it will... Sign in to see full entry.

Weather Or Not

Hurray! It looks like the forecast was wrong... or for at least the part of the day I was planning to be out and about. The snow/sleet/rain they promised us must have just stalled or decided to bother someone else for a while. We have 10" of snow in our yard right now. Who ever is getting 'our' snow...

Much quieter day here today. Thank goodness for small favors! I have to journey over to Holland, Michigan tomorrow and of course, what are they saying about the weather? Yep. A rainy, snowy mix. Fortunately, my destination is just off a main highway and the City of Holland is good at clearing their... Sign in to see full entry.
