Once again I’m forced into recognizing my foibles, and likely foible is to tame a word. It refers to the emotional baggage I carry and feel unable to divest myself of. The baggage, the stress, of group gatherings. The Why I’m commenting on my disinclination to want or need personal get-togethers, family gatherings in particular. …
I’m having flashbacks, and they aren’t the drug or alcohol induced kind. My flashbacks are the ones that occurs when you see, smell, or taste something familiar and it pulls you back to a prior life. They take you back to something, someplace, that holds a positive place in your soul. In my case it’s …
In my efforts to be security conscious when away from my home network I’m using a VPN as I write this. I’m in one of my favourite haunts, a local pub, and while I’m sure nothing will happen (read that I ‘hope’ I don’t get hacked) I felt it prudent to use some safety measures …
I came to the pub today, Brandt’s to be exact, and filled in my obligatory journal (paper). It’s not so obligatory really, it was just something I started some years ago and want to continue.

I’ve still in relatively good health and still working.My 3 – 6 month stint has turned into 7 months to date. Again I’ve …
I’m getting anxious again, it’s not overwhelming but uncomfortable nonetheless. It’s manageable. At worst it’s quite a disconcerting feeling, and for those that have real anxiety attacks I can imagine it must be a horrible experience. Mine is more a result, or contributed by, the big “C”. That would be Coffee with too much Caffeine. I’ve …
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 …
Although I’m looking forward to camping and seeing family this summer I hope the hubbub doesn’t get to me, and there’s a good chance that at some point it will. The activity and noise will wear on me and I’ll likely withdraw somewhat and retreat to my safe place. I’m a very private person, some …
