The Only Time This Blogger is Satisfied Is When He's On a Drunk............

Tonight we went to the mall and looked for a souvenir for Martin (21) girlfriend back in Arizona. He leaves Saturday morning early. We went to the Karaoke bar they found, and sang. My brother did his usual routine of "House of the Rising Sun" and I was so reminded of the Michael Johnson material... Sign in to see full entry.

This Blogger is Selling Postcards of the Hanging, Painting the Passports...

It was too late last night to write anything, so in this blog you will find a summary of the last two days. Monday night we drove out to pick up my brother and visiting nephew for another trip to the mall. We couldn't agree on a movie so we drove around listening to Bob Dylan CD's. Much better than...

This BLOGGER Needs your Prayers It's True, Save a few for Lefty Too

Since my trip to Texas, where I reunited with a high school classmate, I have had the pleasure of coresponding with two other old old friends. Very nice vibes to be able to recount the better part of your life. I haven't seen any of those guys for thirty years minimum. Tonight my intellectual... Sign in to see full entry.

THIS BLOGGER'S BEEN HOSPITALIZED, BUT OK NOW....................

We had a close relative in the hospital the last ten days. We are the closest to the hospital of all the close relatives, so we kept the nightly vigil. But we weren't the only visitors. Everyone pitched in. It is astonishing at how fragile a person's health is. One minute you're fine, and the next... Sign in to see full entry.

Pink Floyd It's Not Easy Banging Your Heart Against Some Mad Bugger's Wall." Third Best-Selling Record in USA -- "The Wall". I liked the Pink Floyd record called "The Wall". The music is a pastiche of sounds from that era, kind of "Strawberry Fields-ish" and set with a background of television... Sign in to see full entry.

Out in blogit park today I saw a squirrel spraying sun block on his nuts...

Charles Krauthammer has written a useful description of how the Bush Doctrine is winning in the War on Terror. In it he cites immutable truths that just one year ago, during a bruising campaign for the hearts and minds of the American people, were not so certain. It is heartening to me to know that...

THESE BLOGGERS ARE HAPPY, BUT IS IT ARTIFICIAL HAPPINESS?

Just last week while we were in Texas visiting relatives, the topic of depression came up. Her mother, who is nearly ninety, has been mortally depressed since her husband died. So, this former classmate of ours knew all about anti-depressants. She was well-versed in the various brands and special... Sign in to see full entry.

THESE BLOGGERS ARE UP ON THEIR CURRENT EVENTS, ARE YOU?

My daughter invited two of her best friends home tonight to grill on the patio and watch TV after work. I got a braut and chips 'n' beans. Then the boyfriend wants to talk politics. I could scarcely believe it. We discussed the Middle East crisis, and to my surprise all the children were quite... Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday, my daughter informed me that we have only four weeks left of summer vacation. It is amazing how quicklyt my attitude can change.

Dixie Chicks Analyzed

Saturday night I sat in the Superstore parking lot waiting for my 16 year-old to get out of work. I wrote a few comments and one blog. However, the blog did not post. I finished it as she got in the car. I clicked post and save, then handed her the Blackberry. She kind of hit it on her knee, and I... Sign in to see full entry.
