A year ago, two of Granny’s girlfriends joined her for a little birthday brunch.
How things can change in 365 days. One friend is now on lock down in assisted living. The other has passed away. But the African Violet I gave Granny is thriving and now three times the size it was.
Today, [...]

This is my typical blogging attire.  That’s right.  I always wear socks when I’m blogging.
I never mention my lower limbs much. (Well, two of them, anyway).  Other than being long they are pretty average.  And they really aren’t all that long for somebody 6′-3″.  Most of my height is in my torso. The attorney is [...]

Sleepless In The Smokies

Fuzzy-wuzzy, not much hair. Fuzzy-wuzzy not a bear.
Nor even a cub, for that matter.
Even if I was more fuzzy, I still wouldn’t have the bulk. What do you call a furry stick?
Anyway, other than my head, my chin, and my package, this is the most dense area of hair on my body.
None [...]

Missing

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

The longer I’m with him, the less I can stand being without him.
I used to think of the distance (geographical) between me and the attorney as sort of a good thing. It gave each of us our own space and independence and kept us from rushing the relationship. (I honestly think that ts easier [...]
