Ol' Roosters Life and Times

Today is Friday. I know it will be fun because it is the last day of the work week. I will have fun in general. I don’t have any big fun plans, but knowing it’s the last day of the week will be nice. I guess my headline might be a bit misleading, but fun it will be. The temperature at 4:08 AM CDT is... Sign in to see full entry.

As usual, it’s very early. This is when I can do my best writing. Well, that is until this hungry herd of animals gets to dying of starvation and I have to quit my writing and feed and tend to them. It’s 79.3°. That’s summer in Texas. Today’s high will be right around 100°. It might make 101°. I... Sign in to see full entry.

She was a Japanese vision of loveliness; short, slim, coal-black hair, beautiful eyes that shimmered when you looked at them. She was also confused and lost. Very lost in more ways than one. She was crying her eyes out and it seemed her heart out also. Meeki was on the campus of a large, Southern... Sign in to see full entry.

My niece has an ear infection. She will live, but she’s feeling pretty bad. Her ear hurts and she has a bit of a queasy stomach. So we are here at home just taking it easy. The wife stayed home last time she was sick so it was my turn this time. The poor old girl is sleeping in her big chair right... Sign in to see full entry.

There are not many people I don’t like. There are some though. I met a new one yesterday. I did not think I liked this guy, but I had never had much cause to think otherwise. Now, I can write and confirm that I don’t like the guy. That makes about four people I know that I really don’t like. That’s... Sign in to see full entry.

It’s that time again! Monday morning. I just really don’t like Monday’s. Plus I had a headache last night. I took some ibuprofen and I am fine right now.

That’s what I am doing this morning. I am pondering. The first thing I am pondering is whether to go to work or not! I am going to go, but I would really love to stay home. My niece is sick and needs to go to the doctor. My wife will handle that this time. I did it last time. Pondering is a great... Sign in to see full entry.

The Moon was full around 6 a.m. this morning. This moon’s name was the Full Sturgeon Moon. We had a few clouds in the area, but it was easily seen. I love full moon nights. Tonight will be another great moon. I love to have the moonlight filter in into my bedroom late at night. A landscape lit up by... Sign in to see full entry.

It is a wonderful Monday night here in south central Texas. The temperature is 84°. That’s just about normal. We had some rain in the area today, but none at my house. There were more clouds than normal so the temperature only climbed to the low 90’s. That was not too bad. Monday at work was not too... Sign in to see full entry.
