    Just some random thoughts. A lot of people are pushing for electric cars or, at least hybrid cars. Okay.   That’s fine.  Cool, but the main gist is to buy a new car and get into debt. I’m not sure how that helps the average person. The last I checked, cars are expensive.   And, while the Read more

    Hard start this morning. There’s stuff I want to do this morning, but I can’t seem to get the body to move.    Lack of self-discipline, I guess.  I need to get better. Yesterday evening, our time together was spoiled by the roof thing.  Or, my precisely, the money thing.   I can really understand how Read more

    Got the first quote for a new roof. I think it sounds great. They’re going to add ventilation to the roof so the heater (northern term) or air handler) to you southerners) will get some air so it won’t sweat so much. In this house, sweaty air handler = air conditioner doesn’t work. That could Read more

    About this time tomorrow morning…. tomorrow morning as in AM…  I will be on a flight headed to Tampa.  Or, at least, sitting on a plan that’s on its way to Tampa. In a way, this is a good thing. Although Sunday is supposed to be nice and in the 50s somewhere, it’s dropping into Read more

  • It’s been a while since I’ve written anything about movies and television, so here it goes. The Walking Dead is probably one of my all-time favorite soap-not-soap operas. Since it’s been around for nine seasons, I’m going to avoid the backstory as much as possible.  And, yes, I know it came out over a year Read more

  • Environmental hypocrites

    I’m just going to do some venting. I fully confess that I don’t know all of the facts and am just jumping to conclusions and connections without much research.   But, I think if someone really cares, it’s worth looking into. A lot of BS has been getting under my nails a little so, in no Read more

    The unexpected term from Hades ended yesterday. Thank goodness. I felt the students were trying to drain my very soul. There were just so many students at need.  By need, I mean “I’m special.”  “I can’t do this.” “I suck.” “Why can’t I do this my way.” Apparently, there was at least two pregnant, one Read more

  • quick update

    Life has been a bit more crazy than usual for the past couple of months. There’s been a time where I’ve just wanted to curl up and not move for days, but I press on. Kid sister has moved to Avon.    That’s about an hour plus away. Her new and first, as far as Read more

    …   I just want to say wow. My last post got hits from Australia, India, and the U.S. That is just awesome. You like me.   You really really like me. —  Cliche, yeah, but it helps bring some sort of validation to my life.   Thanks. Okay, moving on… I’ve had this mantra running through my Read more

  • 9/9

    It’s getting kinda late, but I wanted to put out something since I haven’t for a while. Life has been a bit busy — especially since little bro and sister have alternate days off.  Sunday for one..   Monday for the other… Tuesday….  I don’t have a day to myself until Thursday. Which is okay.  I’m Read more
