I’m gradually getting over a bout of bronchitis. I managed to skip over the typical cold and went right to a cough. Or something like that. I know exactly when and where I caught “it” too. March 7. I went over to my friend Charlie’s house to practice for our open mic outings. He said he felt like he was… Read more →

Pretty good Saturday
I had a pretty good weekend. I’ve mentioned to more than a few people that Saturday’s are tougher on me for some reason. It was always a day when Kathy and I would do a lot of chores and routine stuff. Going to the dump. Recycling. Sometimes shopping. Working in the yard. Laundry. They were not always pleasant either.

Camera ghosts on Valentine’s Day

Reno / part 1: Hip hooray
Caregiving: I just got back from Reno on Tuesday, so I am still catching up with stuff. I was there for a week or so to help my sister Barbara recover from hip replacement surgery. There were a few moments when I started to wonder what they replaced it with. (Used parts?) But she is progressing really well, now. I was… Read more →
Open Mic Therapy Tour: Part 2
Every silver lining has a cloud. That is my way to say that I didn’t win the jackpot Powerball. I was going to cure Huntington’s Disease with what was left after paying my bills. I guess it will have to wait a while. And although I will be in Reno for a week or so, casinos are not my thing.… Read more →
