    The Florida trip is going well so far. Actually, it’s kind of weird.     Weird in that it’s almost normal. Jason isn’t going to school and comes home in the evening.    He sits and plays games or we go walking somewhere.   I monitor my class and go to the gym, weather permitting. Read more

    I kind of have a love/hate relationship with Florida. It’s bright.   It’s beautiful.    It’s warm…. it’s way to warm.    It’s like heat index 99 degrees warm with little to no wind and clouds. Personally, I don’t really remember it being this how for this long.    It’s been going on for two weeks Read more

    I don’t believe in a lot, but I believe that we’re protagonists in our own story… sometimes.  I guess it depends on what day it is.   But, over that, I believe in patterns.    Patterns of behavior.   Patterns of history.  Patterns of society. So, while we’re protagonists, there’s a pattern that we follow.    Sometimes, Read more

    Okay. This week… Today, I took the truck to Seymour for an airbag repair recall.   The truck is some 8 years old and there’s still recalls on it?   Damn. Tomorrow, Tuesday – Day with the little brother.   That probably means the gym and seeing Detective Pickachu. Wednesday is all about the little sister. Hoping for Read more

    Today has been kind of odd. I skipped out on my Sunday morning workout and walked around in Mill Race for about three hours.  I got there around 7am.   It was a bright and beautiful day, but couldn’t get above 65 for some reason.    With the wind, it was kind of chilly, but in Read more

    Tomorrow is the Disney holiday – May fourth  –  as in, “May the fourth be with you.”   Cheezy as heck, but Disney made it huge when they started releasing the new Star Wars movies. I don’t think they really promote that anymore, but a scar has been left on that day.    Thanks, Disney! New Read more

    Tomorrow, I need to take my fakey Boniva.  It’s not the named branded stuff, but I guess it serves the same purpose.    Okay, it’s not tomorrow.   Rather May 1st. Tomorrow I see Endgame with little bro and sister after going to the gym with little bro. Experiment —- Actually going to try to free Read more

    I’ve been feeling pretty odd lately on several different fronts. It’s about time for me to return to Florida, as per Jason and my agreement from February.  I’m supposed to go down there for a couple of months and then both of us head back to Indiana in late July for Gencon and his vacation.

    Saving throw failed. I didn’t see Us today, but I kind of knew I wasn’t going to when I finished the blog yesterday.  But, you know, that’s okay. I’m kind of used to getting my hopes up and then letting myself down.   It’s a tedious process but makes it sweeter when I actually do follow Read more
