Good morning! Today is my wife's birthday, and I told her that since she is getting old and decrepit, I would take her out for lunch. When I regained consciousness, I apologized and asked her if she wanted to go out for lunch. LOL (Just kidding, of course... it's how we play 'the game.') What she... Sign in to see full entry.

We finally got a call from the doctor's office about the testing Lisa had over a week ago. It appears the laser treatments have done the job, and her tumor has shrunk considerably. Since the last treatment, she hasn't passed out or had any whiteouts. He still doesn't want her to drive for another... Sign in to see full entry.

The drive home yesterday was definitely one I won't forget for a long time. About thirty minutes into my drive back, I began to develop a brake issue. By the time I hit I-75 North, I had less than 10% of my normal braking system, and traffic was abysmally busy. I grew up on a farm and learned to... Sign in to see full entry.

It's a long story, but I ended up making an unexpected trip to Avon Park late yesterday afternoon when I couldn't raise a friend of mine in the phone. When I arrived at her home, I discovered she had fell beside her bed and was trapped there. It was 85 degrees in her house and she had been there for... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Independence Day, everyone. We hope you can spend it with family. As we have no close family, we intend to go out to lunch and just enjoy a meal cooked by someone else. Be safe, be happy, and enjoy the day. Sign in to see full entry.

Update

It will be hot again today, but I knew what I was signing up for when we moved here. Thankfully, the humidity will be a little lower. We got a call from the doctor's office this morning with the results of Lisa's EEG. They told us there was a "minor abnormality" in the white matter of her brain (I... Sign in to see full entry.

The wife and I went to the local small-town carnival this weekend. I asked her if she wanted to go into the crazy house. She shrugged and said, "why don't you save the money? We can be home in less than five minutes." Sign in to see full entry.

A Taxi Kind of Day

Some days I have to convince myself that I put up with the 98-103 degree temps and the 95% humidity to not have to put up with temps of -25 in the winter. It was beastly hot yesterday, and today is already on its way to hitting the 100-degree mark again. The best thing we can do right now is limit... Sign in to see full entry.

It was a long day yesterday, but we got a number of things done. A typical four-hour drive home took six hours due to the extremely heavy number (and extremely stupid) of people on the road. I've driven in Cincinnati, NYC, Atlanta, Miami, San Fran, San Jose, LA, and a number of huge cities, but... Sign in to see full entry.

We made it to our destination. On the way down here on i-75, we were in the middle of a massive crash bang and boom, but we came out of it untouched by some miracle. There were a lot of cars banged up, but our car never got touched. I'm hoping to be on my way back by no later than 11:00 tomorrow... Sign in to see full entry.
