    This is day two of my Groupon extravaganza. My little Hoosier hometown and surrounding areas aren’t big on Groupon.    This place in Florida is.    My blessed sister has gotten into a habit of buying Groupons for me for various relaxation and well-being services. For example, yesterday I met Dustin and Jessie, his wife.  Read more

    I’m trying something different. I’m sitting g outside, in the dark.  There’s a firetruck wailing in the background.  Fish jumping in the bay.  Waiting for Jason to get out of class. Normally, I’d be walking around while waiting for him to get out of class.  But, I’ve pushed myself a bit today.  According to pokemon Read more

    I made yesterday more difficult than it needed to be. We started roaming — which is good.   We just drive around until we hit a place or something comes to mind.   It’s not planned, but kind of like going on a explore mission in some game.    We get bonus points by covering a lot Read more

    Happy New Year! I sincerely hope everyone and yours survived last night. The cat has come out of hiding, which is good.  Everything seems to be going forward, as it should. These are the days when we should reflect and think of how we can better ourselves and our community through resolutions – promises to Read more

    Well, I think this trip is going better than last time. It’s not just going to TSO, although that was great.   It’s the actions of the boy. He seems more self-assured and confident.  Visiting his brother’s half a million dollar house didn’t leave him jealous goblin green.  I mean, of course, we’re a bit envious, Read more

    Happy Christmas Eve. The holidays are a confusing time. A lot of people feel that their personal worth is judged by the presents that they give.  Commercials emphasize this by putting impossibly big bows on cars and tiny bows on exceedingly expensive jewelry. Slogans don’t help either. If every kiss begins with K and it’s Read more

    It’s been a few days since I wrote. Hi. Can’t believe Christmas is almost here. That’s crazy.   It really is. I’m pretty much stuck here for the next couple of days.   When the weatherman says it’s going to be rainy and “miserable,” that’s a good time to stay inside… although I’d still rather go to Read more

    There’s nothing wrong with having an off day, is there? Silly question, I know.  I know it’s okay, but I always wonder if it’s okay. Well, if it’s okay for – me – to have an off day. Lee’s visit has left fairly melancholy. While this is a somewhat familiar mindstate at home, this is Read more

    Here I sit, like a twit, looking at this piece of shi… Sadly, I can’t claim authorship of that little rhyme. That was masterfully penned by someone whose name I have totally forgotten. I remember that I worked with her for over ten years.   I actually helped get her hired on – not because I Read more

    Here I sit, like a twit – waiting on the air conditioner guy from the soon to be defunct Sears. I have no energy today. I did a lot yesterday.    There’s still a lot to do, just a slightly lesser amount.  I just don’t know what my deal is.    It’s practically noon and Read more
