I used to smoke.
I don’t smoke no more.
It has to start sometime. And the time for this is about twenty hours ago.
I’m just quitin.’
I tried the patch. It only burnt my arm. And, although it helped reduce my craving for nicotine, it didn’t help reduce my craving for smoking. So, it’s going forward cold turkey [...]
It’s another Tuesday morning.
I have mixed feelings about getting out of bed and not having to start checking forums right off. It’s nice to have a day where you’re not expected to check in and do all them things that need doing. But, it’s good to be needed. So, thinking that you may not be, [...]
The main entrance (the one that’s used the most) to this house is covered. There’s a six inch gap above where the light is and the awning.
When I walked outside Friday morning, I was hit in the face by the strands that hung down from a newly built robin’s nest. Silly birds. I don’t mind [...]
When I was a teenager, the family decided to build a pool. We made a lot of decisions based on family participation. My parents, along with their seven children, often joined forces for a common cause.
The building of the pool can be content for a later post. It was quite the experience for the small [...]
I don’t always have enough going on in my life to blog about daily. Don’t get me wrong, I have lots going on. But some things are more private than others.
It’s not that I live a private life. But there are private things that can take priority over what I’ll make public.
So, with an implacable [...]
Bastion was (well, still is last I knew) a swallow. One of the many that live in the old barn down the road.
They’re a communal bird and sometimes reach great numbers in that regard. Although he was small, even for a swallow, he had energy and dreamed of things beyond the barn. There must be [...]
I’m going to post this. I might remove it in a few days. But, I wanted to post it and see what becomes. I just want to make the information easier to find. We’ll see . . .
I had a time finding text of Emerson’s Prudence, so I’m copying it here. It is one [...]
I’m just writing to move the last update down.
Not sure what it’ll be about yet. But, I rarely am.
I could write about the girl. She weighs heavy on my mind.
I’ve come to better terms with it.
“Getting to know someone” on-line has become more real to me. You have to actually talk. And you [...]
it’s four a.m. and I can’t sleep
I keep thinking about the company we keep
if they’ll be there tomorrow when the sun comes up
or if they’re more like that old well out back that dried up
the well, she gave plenty when she felt like giving
slowly she didn’t, like many things living
it got to a point I [...]
Jack didn’t come home last night.
There have been times when he’d sneak off for a couple hours. But, there’s never been a time he’s stayed out all night.
I’ve looked and looked and can’t find any obvious signs.
I’ll have to wait until tomorrow before being able to check the pound.
I can only hope that he is [...]
And it’s been distracting me from my blogging.
I met a girl.
Okay. I met a girl on the internet quite some time ago. We spoke on occasion and always had fun when we did.
One day, I came to the realization that I have feelings for her. This is a total new arena for me. How could [...]
