It's Always Something! (and a Joke)

Ever have one of those days where everything looks like it is going to be just perfect... and then it isn't? Oh yeah. No matter what we had planned for today, somebody or something got in the way. Three different people dropped in unexpectedly, and then the minister from across the street asked if I... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. We got down to about 68 last night, which made for some great sleeping weather. I'm beginning to feel better after my heart infection. My WBC has dropped to almost normal at ~ 8900. It had shot up to 20,000+. As soon as I am done here, we'll head outside to watch the dogs play and grab... Sign in to see full entry.

Rain, Editing, and Dealing With Safety... & A Joke

Good morning, sports fans! It rained on and off all night, and it looks like that pattern will continue throughout the day. I'm glad our property is on the south side of the last of the Appalachian Mountains; otherwise, we would have a massive pool of standing water like they do in the block to the...

The Untold Story and Perhaps A Giggle

This is a pull from my FB page... and yes, I aimlessly wander over there as well. To set the timeline, this happened about ten minutes after I signed off here. V I wasn't going to post this, but I was admitted to the CCU unit in Valdosta secondary to another heart infection 36 hours or so ago. I've... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. It's kind of a nice, lovely morning here so far. It's 81, with a chance of hitting 90 later this afternoon. We are hoping just to relax today, sitting outside with the dogs and letting the world go by. I think we have been 'hard at it' for the last three weeks, seven days a week....

Publishing and Such... plus a Joke

Good afternoon. This day got off to a running start way too early, and it is just looking to slow down. We decided to sit outside before the next thunderstorm rolls into town, and I lost track of time. I had my wife and my dogs there, sitting in a chair under the trees... what more do I need? I made...

No Rain, & Then... HANG ON! Plus a Joke

Good morning. Wouldn't you know, it had rained on and off all night, but when we first got up, everything was drying, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky... so we decided to eat outback. We just got settled in to eat... and here comes the big black clouds, pregnant with lots of rain, and it began to... Sign in to see full entry.

Whew. Despite a more than adequate amount of sleep, I'm still on the sleepy side. We had flood warnings for the night, but all we got was a steady, gentle rain. For the first time in almost two months, we were able to shut the AC off, open the bedroom window, and "Listen to the Rhythm of the Falling... Sign in to see full entry.

Short Excuser and to the Point w/ a Joke?

I had a minor outpatient surgery that I should have spent a night in the hospital. I didn't get to sleep until about 7 am, and I finally woke up around 3 pm. I think this problem is a by-product of this huge run of 98 + degree days. I think I may have been working things into fall to fall into... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. I had to spend the night at the hospital due to a possible issue with my heart valve, which I had replaced on February 3, 2016. After they did what I can only guess will cost about $125,000+ for tests, four different specialists, and them running a small scope up through the femoral... Sign in to see full entry.
