These are the first few words on my new keyboard. I had just bought a new one two weeks ago, but the backspace tab was the size of a regular key instead of an extra-long key. I was chronically missing it, and it was driving me crazy. I can already tell I will like this board, as it is quiet and... Sign in to see full entry.

Good 'Good Friday' morning. Two things. While I am not traveling this Easter weekend, I will be limiting my posts to spend more time with my wife. If there is one thing I have learned over the years it is that we are not guaranteed anything. Take full advantage of the moments you have together with... Sign in to see full entry.

After taking two or three days off, I do feel much better. I'm not sure if I was just exhausted or if I had a minor flu. Whatever it was, it is gone. Tomorrow, we will begin one of the projects that will quickly be visible. We are putting in new underlay flooring. The floor in this place was less... Sign in to see full entry.
Good afternoon. While I don't know exactly what I have, I am improving. There's been no fever or headache, I just feel blah. Other than finally finishing the story that was talking to me for ten days or more, I've done nothing for about 30 hours. I'm hoping to be back on track tomorrow. In case you...

This story is true. The names, location, and some insignificant details have been changed to protect everyone involved. It's been 48 years, but ya never know. This event changed my life forever. Some people can't talk to strangers, but this event made it so I can talk to anyone. The story still... Sign in to see full entry.
I had previously posted that I was going to take it easy today. After sitting here for a little bit, I've decided that I'm going to do nothing today. I don't feel bad, but I feel a long way from feeling good. I don't think it's anything serious, I think I have just overdone it last week or more. So,... Sign in to see full entry.
It looks like a beautiful day here in the armpit of Florida. Expected high of 84 with a nice breeze. I think we will take a day off or do a limited amount of work. It's only Wednesday, and I suspect we've already logged 30+ hours of work. There's a lot of stuff to do, but we still have time when the... Sign in to see full entry.

I've had a hard time getting back into the frame of mind to do any serious writing for multiple reasons. It's frustrating on several levels, but I will get back in 'the mode' soon. A week ago, I had a dream about a traumatic real-life incident in the fall of 1974. I started to write a short story... Sign in to see full entry.
I've done my 'thing' in the house for the morning. I did four more loads of back laundry, and I found a beautiful old mirror. I'm not sure when it was made, but the newspaper it was wrapped in was dated June 1961. It was stashed away in the 'little house out back, and I almost didn't see it. It is...
