Dreads Revisited

Dreads Revisited

Not those kind of dreads! BTW, that’s my friend Liz Kidder. She’s a kick ass thru-hiker and an accomplished dreads artist. Sometimes I’ll bring up my blog and hit the widget on the side of the page that brings up a random blog post I wrote. How narcissistic is that? Today’s random post was one I wrote back in 2017 that was a prompt from the below book. I had to list things that I dread during the day. When…

The HYOB and Arnie Finally Get Some Screen Time

The HYOB and Arnie Finally Get Some Screen Time

Remember back when I had big plans for The Hundred Year Old Beer and Arnie the Armadillo? Well, I haven’t been very good at keeping to those plans. Poor old HYOB and Arnie have sat in the rig while Michelle and I have been out exploring. I recently remedied that situation when we visited Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado. Take a gander… Now we will return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

The Plan – Teaser

The Plan – Teaser

We have a plan! It’s a great plan! I can’t tell you about the plan. Hate me yet? I will tell you about the plan eventually. Just not today. There are some timing issues involved and we don’t want to put our plan details out on the interwebby before we are ready to pull the trigger. I’ve probably said too much already. What? You are NOT OK with that? Well, since you twisted my arm I will give you a…

The Cars

The Cars

This is not going to be much of a post. I’m trying to concentrate on finishing my novel. With a title like the one up there you would think I would be paying tribute to the great band of the same name. While they were one of my favorite bands in the 80’s and I was sad to hear about the passing of lead singer Rick Ocasek last fall, this is not a post about them. If you frequent Facebook…

Quarantine Quality Time

Quarantine Quality Time

I know I’ve told a few jokes about what’s going to kill me first in this time of COVID-19 quarantine, the virus, or my wife from us both working from home. Actually, we have been getting along splendidly. We’ve been hanging out watching movies, cooking meals, and playing a lot of board games. We even have been getting some good work done on the yard, not that anyone can get close enough to see it. Even though I already worked…

Where Have All The Chat Rooms Gone?

Where Have All The Chat Rooms Gone?

That’s a good question Paula. Back in the early 90’s I chatted on Bulletin Board Systems (BBS). You had to dial them up directly with a modem and usually only had a hand full of lines. They were also only local. It was still a blast and I met some really good friends that I still have today through them. I also met my second wife on a BBS, whom (did I use that right?) I don’t still have today,…

Sawyer Goes To The Lake

Sawyer Goes To The Lake

I got to spend the Valentine’s Day weekend up in my beloved Mountains with my wife and best friend, Michelle, and our two children, Sawyer, and Finn. They are furry four-legged children. The trip was awesome! I didn’t want to come home and thought very seriously about running away. But then I wouldn’t be able to afford internet service anymore and I didn’t want to deprive y’all of my presence. So I reluctantly returned home. We met a couple with…

Things Not Groin The Way I Hoped

Things Not Groin The Way I Hoped

That’s not a typo in the title. You’ll see in a minute. A couple of posts ago I wrote an update to my ongoing liver problems. I talked about how I had a new nurse practitioner that went to bat for me with my liver doctor to get the ball rolling on a living liver transplant. If you look in the comments below that post you’ll see that I got good news about how my doctor waived my MELD score…
