I belong to the social networking site, Facebook. Some idiot devised a “quiz” in which people can answer inane questions about other Facebook members. A few people actually had nothing better to do than to respond to this quiz and answer questions...
Armageddon?
posted 10 months ago | 1 comment
I am not a religious person. But, I admit that I'm thinking about Armageddon. The disasters, both natural and man-made, over the past few years have me wondering; is Armageddon nigh? Was the end of the Mayan calendar a prediction of the end of tim...

How to begin. When I married at age 41, I just assumed that my wife would outlive me. That's just the way Nature intended it. Women usually live longer than men. My mother outlived my father and my wife's mother outlived her husband. I was a bit c...

I’ve mentioned here in the past that I work with a bunch of pretty nice people. I’m just not used to that. In my previous life in the wonderful world of commercial radio, I kind of got used to my employers and many of my fellow employees being ego...

My wife, Alma, finally got home from Seattle shortly after Labor Day after over three months of treatment for multiple myeloma at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. She is feeling a little better with each passing day but still tires very easily. I...
An Update -- Finally

I've been terribly remiss in keeping this journal updated. When you get to be my age and have to work eight hours a day, then come home and try to find something for dinner that sounds appetizing, and then try to get to bed by 9:00 so you can star...
