Ol' Roosters Life and Times

I have been a big Jim Croce fan since his early days. Last night on PBS they had a special about Jim and his music. His widow and son were interviewed along with some other music greats from that time. His music is timeless. This guy was the real thing and sang great songs. As they played great song...

Yesterday we went to the Big Brothers\Big Sisters charity bowling event sponsored by my wife’s company. It was a big success with 66 teams just from the wife’s company alone taking part. The bowling alley was not big enough to hold all the teams. They had to bowl in two shifts. That is not what this... Sign in to see full entry.

The weekend is here. For me, it officially begins when I walk out of the building at work on Friday afternoon around 5 p.m. I tell everyone don’t slow down or my white truck will run over them. I love Friday’s and can’t wait for the day to be over. We had our usual Friday night outing. The niece was... Sign in to see full entry.

I knew it was going to come to this. I have one stone, about 1 cm big, in my right kidney. It will have to be zapped. That will happen either Monday or Tuesday. I will be ready for my trip to Disney on Friday though. The procedure is an outpatient deal. It does not take very long. You really don’t... Sign in to see full entry.

Our first morning walk this day took us outside to our wonderful backyard. The quiet stillness of the morning spoke volumes. In a city of over a million people hardly a sound could be heard.

I love my Wednesday night’s also. So this will be a good day beginning later on. We have 59° and cloudy skies today. We will... Sign in to see full entry.

It’s the beginning of a new month. Each new month is like a new little life. They are like new chances to make things better or try different things. I always try to incorporate something new into my life be it large or small. Last month I began to play my guitar again. I have done quite well in... Sign in to see full entry.

I made another great weekend and now it is a rotten old Monday. When I get up on Monday morning I just don’t like the feeling of having the entire work week ahead of me. I would prefer to stay home and do other things that are more constructive and fun. Of course, we like to eat around here and have... Sign in to see full entry.

Today is just gorgeous. It is sunny and warm. The temperature this afternoon will reach the mid 60’s. It is just a wonderful day. I wish each day could be like this. I will get outside a little later on just to soak up the nice weather. I have gone out a few times today, but not to do anything in... Sign in to see full entry.

I went back to the doctor yesterday morning. We had a talk about how to proceed with my kidney stones. I had not had any pain or taking any pain pills since the last visit. We will take one more look at the stones. Tuesday I will go in for a CT scan and then we will look at them. We will decide how... Sign in to see full entry.
