Since coming to Florida, I’m guessing that I’ve walked between five and 13-ish miles a day, save the one day that it was raining and a couple of days I stayed in to catch up on work. – My mileage may vary, as I still can’t find the wire to charge the Fitbit, but today’s… Read more

Some three weeks ago, it finally happened. My beloved Mustang was sent to the scrap heap and we finally, sort of, acquired a new car. It’s a lease, actually, but a welcome one. My mustang’s convertible top didn’t move, the windows didn’t go down, and the air conditioner was shot. She shimmed when she went… Read more

Some observations and lessons learned. – Observation one – – All of the people who feel free to continually expose their poor toes to the year-round elements all own dogs. These are big dogs.

It’s that time of month again. – The once every eight-ish weeks when one college term ends, there’s a two second breath of air, and the next term begins. The past two weeks, I’ve type so much that the gel on my fingertips have chipped off. Last week, it was the rough draft. Last night,… Read more

Again, I was back at the gym. Instead of talking to a stranger, I was talking to an older woman. I think her name was Janet (Janice?) She’s short with white hair. Great personality and a booming voice that’s fit for a retired kindergarten teacher… which is what she is. I think she told me… Read more

Lately, there’s been a lot of hype over the new Black Panther movie. Schools are taking classes to see it. From what I’ve been told, pre-order tickets are as precious as adamantium. It’s already on track to blow the recent beat up the recent Thor movie at the box office. All that’s great. More power… Read more

Once, several years ago, mom had several birdfeeders, ranging from plastic, to wood, to metal, filled with sunflower seeds and thistle seeds. I would sit on the front porch, surrounded by birdsong. If I ever looked up from my laptop, blue jays, robins, assorted finches, and cardinals fought each other for position on the feeders. … Read more
