I see an old friend of mine on the internet. He is a geologist, a naturalist, and a writer. He made a good life for himself and his family doing what he loved.  He and I climbed together, hiked, went caving, roomed together for a time.  I wonder what my life would be if I had......Read More

Saturdaze reminiscence
 When my grandfather reached 97 years old, he was still driving. He had to take a drivers test, and passed it. So, his license was renewed. About that time he needed a new car. He called, and asked, "Do you think I should buy new or used"? New, of course! He lived to be......Read More

show me the money
It's been a while since I posted. I have had  lot on my plate. I had another bone marrow test, and with  a year of treatment,   the doctor said I have two out of the three 'markers' in remission, and have 99% knocked out on the third. Not total, but almost. I guess the......Read More

Disasters, home made
It gripes me to see people whine, and complain,criticize, and yep, gripe, all the time. Life is what YOU make of it, there is no greener grass, there is no miracle cure. How many in here cry for the exes? yes, a lot. One of my more genius Brothers -in -law, spent......Read More

Mr. Cool
Thank God for air conditioning.  It has been hot here. I walk inside, and it is heaven.  And for you greenies, I offset a lot with solar. I am putting misters in the patio, and a small lap pool  I know, the lake is right there, true. But I want to have ......Read More

I get around,
Drove all the way in to La Jolla for a fun evening/ meet and greet for the company. Forgot the U.S.Open was at Torrey Pines, so all the 'good' spots were crowded. Lots and lots of the players, fans and the media all wanting to party after the stress of the day. Sat at a little table at......Read More

cowboy up
I am not going to make a happy blog today. And this has nothing to do with my own problems. I have a few, terminal illness  is one of them. Even while sick, even being old, even having had my business, my home, my future all destroyed. I still live my life, I am not a whiner, I......Read More

And the winner is...
I am looking over the summer fun offered in our small town nearby. The usual music, 'taste of the town' and car shows, and more music, and a chili contest.   So I am thinking, my wife makes killer chili.  Seriously, maybe she was trying to... nawww.  She tells me to......Read More

Having fun is hard work
Back to the grind. Sounds like a good name for a coffeeshop doesn't it? I have been busy having fun. Or getting ready to have fun. Really busy, why does so much stuff accumulate so that I have to make a trip to the dump, and to the shed several times? Where does it come......Read More
