Scared? Not Me!

I've posted the next installment of "The Darkness." This is the last of the light heartedness of this story. I got into a zone last night... no Internet and such... and I wrote over 4500 words. Upon re-reading some of this stuff, I think I scared myself a little. Perhaps not to the extent it scared... Sign in to see full entry.

Same Song, Different Verse

Stupid Internet is down again. Repair guy is supposed to be here about 9AM. This is getting as old as I am! Sign in to see full entry.

Feel Me... Touch Me... Help Me

Some of you will find this crazy but if you believe, it was fascinating. I took a friend of mine to see a doctor yesterday to make sure she was treated as she should be. Sadly, many of the new docs have been given very little time to develop assessment skills and they struggle to treat patients. She... Sign in to see full entry.

Let's Make It Hot... That's the Spot!

It is difficult to imagine that 'only' 20-25 years, most of us didn't have Internet and most didn't think they would ever need it. Now that we have gotten used to having it and it has become a staple in our everyday lives, it is difficult to imagine life without it now... but I got the opportunity... Sign in to see full entry.

Walking, Mowing, and Writing

I'm settling into my new life, such as it is, and I'm finding solace in my writing. I went out in the woods today and besides the normal squirrels and such, I saw the big momma doe down by a small creek with her two twin fawns. She saw me like she frequently sees me in the morning but since I... Sign in to see full entry.

From One Old Gobbler to Another

I was setting on the porch swing which, quite ironically, isn't on our porch but rather under a great big pine tree in the far back yard earlier today. I was sitting there, swinging kind of slow like when something caught my eye at the tree line. Almost as if emerging from a mist, I began to see... Sign in to see full entry.

Thanks and Prepare For Liftoff!

First things first. Thank you to those who commented on my tribute to my wife. I appreciate it. I finally got back to working on "The Darkness" after a couple days of floundering. Truman Capote did a story that kind of summed my thoughts lately, "Other Voices, Other Rooms." Kind of like I was... Sign in to see full entry.

Thoughts and Memories

A beautiful day today. I sat out on our back yard swing under the trees and remembered old times. It is funny how if you close your eyes and begin to shut out all distractions, that the better times of your life will come back to you. I remembered the first time I met my wife way back in 1972. She... Sign in to see full entry.

Settling In and Moving

Although my heart still isn't in to it, I'm beginning to get back into the flow of things. We burned my old desk tonight as part of a Fourth of July bonfire. Too many memories, many good but one bad. I just couldn't use it any more. I've gone back to my routine from years ago when I would devote 45... Sign in to see full entry.

The Saddle Is Stiff But I'm Back In It.

The Three Stooges had this sketch bit about " Niagara Falls! Slowly I turn, step by step, inch by inch..." As a kid it cracked me up. I don't know why, but it did. As an adult, I realize that I have to begin to turn myself as well. The new desk is different and it will take some time getting... Sign in to see full entry.
