Good morning. Lisa and I got up a little earlier than normal today, grabbed a bit of breakfast, and have been sitting outside, discussing our fathers for the last two, almost three hours. I would never say my father was 'better' than hers, but sadly, it was true. Her mom was a much better mother... Sign in to see full entry.

I think the 95-102 degrees and the ultra-high humidity have finally gotten to me. It's been a long time since I've felt this weak and knocked-kneed. I typically walk the one-mile round trip to the corner "meat store" three blocks west and then two blocks north from our place. I am a big meat eater... Sign in to see full entry.

I've been lax in posting in this area for the last week or so, and for that, I apologize. I'm not sure whether I will be changing or increasing my word count today, but I am finally gathering up my strength after walking six miles, walking from the far east side of town to the far west side of town...

Alright... I knew I should have posted the photo of the ay last, but I didn't. I need to go outside and be with my wife until I can get myself under control. Right now, I just need to be with the only person I really and truly love. I'll be back... I promise. Sign in to see full entry.

I am going to be brief today—or at least right now, if you don't mind. We have an inspector coming to inspect our new shower unit. I'm not a professional, but for four years, I owned 36 apartments (for some stupid reason!), and I learned to do all kinds of things. He has an appointment to be here by... Sign in to see full entry.

Yeah, I'm up awful early. A friend of ours had car problems on US-10, the major east-west freeway that runs from Jacksonville, Florida, all the way to California (and I've driven every mile of it both coming and going, just like I've driven every mile of I-75 north from Miami to Sault Ste, Marie,...

Another typical Florida spring day is ahead, with temps hovering near 96 to 98. Yippie! LOL. They keep telling us we will have some rain soon, but so far, nothing. I see a lot of rain on and off further downstate, but nothing here in the last few days. I just looked around my office and saw all four... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning! We actually got the pups to allow us to sleep most of the night. Other than their getting to be routine wanting to go outside at 1 am, they didn't bother us until 9 this morning. They are almost ten months old now and beginning to mature. I will miss the puppy play that made us laugh... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. It's already 86, heading to an expected high of 99. Lisa is in the backyard, pulling up a few weeds that seem to have 'perpetual lives.' I want to do a little raking before the temps hit 95, so this will be short. Last night, at about one a.m., I took the pups out for the last time.... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm getting everything up early because the projected high temperature is 100 degrees today. While the actual heat won't bother me, it's just easier to do now. We typically sit outside with the dogs for 45 minutes or so and then grab breakfast. If it's my turn to cook, I post earlier. If it's Lisa's... Sign in to see full entry.
