I have heard that when struggling for words, when laboring for a topic, it can be helpful to first put down one word on the page. After that initial beginning place a second word, then another, and again until your first sentence is complete. Follow the same pattern to compose your second sentence, then move …

I’ve made the call, the decreased dosage of my meds will begin. I will drop down to taking one 15 mg pill a day, against the better judgement of my wife. This is not a decision I’m making without any consideration of the potential outcome. I know full well the possible negative side effects, however …
It’s my birthday today, 56 years ago this morning I was being born. I don’t recall what the time was…..I was busy being overwhelmed by the birth experience and I hadn’t yet learned to tell the time. Nor did I have a watch.
My uncle posted a photo on Facebook the other day of my Dad and I. I was being given a haircut by my Dad when I was about 3 or 4 I’d guess. I certainly don’t remember the day. I will show my Dad the pic when I see him today. I’d be curious to …

I’m back to feeling like a traveling salesman, off to a new destination tomorrow, the end of the road a point on the distant horizon. It is really we, not I, but the result is the same. We will spend time away from home and away from my castle. I’m becoming more of a yard …
Happy Belated Fathers day to all the dads, or soon to be dads, or wanna be dads. Any dads are welcome, even pseudo dads. I’m not sure what made me think of writing about Dads day today and not on Fathers day itself. Maybe it was busyness, or lazyness, or carelessness, whatever ‘ness it was …
About a week or 10 days ago I went into the bank to sign some papers for a safety deposit box. I had a box prior to this in another financial institution but my long range plan is to move most of my financial stuff into one place. So I signed the papers, got the …
