Ol' Roosters Life and Times

This is a rare, for me, Friday night writing. We normally go out and have dinner and stop by Barnes and Noble for some reading material. Tonight our schedule changed just a bit. The niece went to a haunted house at her daycare with the wife. I stayed home with our herd of animals and just took it... Sign in to see full entry.

I have made it to Friday again. This is some nice. I will have a great day and then it will be time for the weekend. That is what I seem to live for. I just don’t think it gets any better than finishing up the workweek and walking out of the building on Friday afternoon. That is just the best... Sign in to see full entry.

BE CAREFUL, JIM” One of the most enduring memories I have of my childhood and early teens is of a television show that brought me so much joy and taught me so much.

It was a dark and stormy afternoon! That is what we are having here in south central Texas on this Sunday afternoon. The rain has been pounding our area for several hours now with no signs of letting up. My rain gauge is almost full, the result of the incessant precipitation. Rain is a life-giver....

Ariala had an interesting post on Nikola Tesla. I have long been interested in Mr. Tesla and have read a few things about him and his life. He was a true genius. While I can’t say I have patterned my life after Nikola, I have been very fascinated by his writings on “astral” travel. Of course, I was... Sign in to see full entry.

That is how my day began yesterday. From around 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. the news was not very good. I guess we all have days such as this. I am happy to report things are looking up at this time. Well, on the other hand, I don’t know if they could have gotten any worse. A new day brings a new perspective... Sign in to see full entry.
