I don’t want to dwell on it – and I won’t – but I’m not feeling good. It’s no surprise, it’s not unexpected, it comes after almost three months of doing better than expected.
But because of the return of what can only be called warning signs, we talked last night about things that we […]

The ol’ kidneys ain’t working as good as they should. How do I know? Well, there are a number of ways…
I can actually taste the toxins – a foul taste in my mouth that nothing can wash away. And than there is the nausea – it has returned with a vengeance. My apatite has […]

And so, this silly “blog” has reached it’s first anniversary – a year of ups and downs unlike any other I have ever known. The temptation to review the events of the past twelve months is strong – but I won’t, it serves no purpose. Nor is there much value in attempting to forecast what […]

So I got this e-mail last night – an invitation to what amounts to an impromptu reunion of area radio people. It’s to take place in twig weeks, at a local watering hole.
With few exceptions, I’ve not seen any of the old crowd for over a half dozen years – longer in some cases. […]

I’ve always thought of myself as a recluse – and rightfully so. But I think that perhaps I’ve moved on, moved beyond being a common recluse to being a certified hermit.
Today marks the fiftieth day – yes, fifty, five zero – since I last set foot outside. I’ve not gone out to the front […]

You people have got to learn how to relax – take a lesson from me, and don’t jump to conclusions – you’ll live a lot longer.
As I predicted, my plumbing started to work again – it always does – so there was no need for you people to panic. I mean, you guys are […]

Short of measuring exactly how much goes in, against exactly how much comes out, the best one can do is to “eyeball” how much one actually tinkles.
As bad as the subject matter may be, I hasten to point out that most old people are obsessed with a different bodily function – so trust me, […]

It’s not that there aren’t all kinds of important things going on in the world – it’s not that I am unaware of them. In my own way, I still care – I’m still interested. But there are overriding issues things that take precedence now. Things that you may find mundane, but that are now […]
