Best Dip You've Ever Tasted
I like to think that I am good at many things but a master at none. But that may be my own ego getting in the way of some heady thinking. Perhaps I’m not as good as I think at those many things. Nevertheless, one thing I do know is cooking, good food, and how … Continue reading
Riding the Rails
I’m often a pretty upbeat person. I have a great many friends as a result of that. But sometimes I find myself getting depressed lately without cause. And after much introspection, I believe it’s due to the unknown. By that I’m meaning my status as to the brain surgery. Tomorrow is the scheduled Petscan whereby … Continue reading
Give Wii A Try
We were invited to the home of Shawn and Jim, along with some other friends for a wonderful cookout and socializing Saturday. In fact we were taxied by Jay and Chris as we didn’t know the directions. The meal was glorious as Jim grilled the thickest pork chops I have ever laid my eyes upon. … Continue reading
Dog Days of August
Everyday my wife Robin and I take our dog Brutus go for a walk around the local lake. Its a two mile jaunt and the entire path is within the woods and through the trees, making this the most pleasant of trips. Each time he gets into a car, Brutus just loves to have the … Continue reading
One of those Days
Today was one of those days. I love the human element and the interaction thereof. But there are those times when your efforts prove futile and you just shake your head in amazement at the thought process of some people. Patience is a virtue, but I cannot tolerate stupid and whining. When decisions are made … Continue reading

What a day for a bike ride. The weather was absolutely beautiful and my cousins invited me along on a Sunday morning trek. We all met together at a mom and pop eatery for some of the best food around. Now get this. Two eggs over easy a heaping helping of home fries, enough for … Continue reading
They Say You Can't Go Home…..
….but that’s not necessarily the case. As I stated a week ago, we’ve returned to our stick house to take care of some business and to recoup a little cash to carry on our efforts of fulltiming. Our neighbors have to be the best in the world as they threw a surprise ‘Welcome Back’ party … Continue reading
Crossing a mental Bridge
I am at a quandry. Interaction with people is what makes me tick. I love the human dynamics. On the other hand, I scarcely know anyone well, nor they me. Gypsies make difficult friends for ordinary people, and as you know I’m somewhat of a gypsy. I come to this office to do my consulting … Continue reading
Impromptu Ghostbusting
On her last night of visiting, we took daughter Erin out for dinner. We were joined by my sister Lisa, her son, Eric, and my lovely wife Robin. Here’s the gang.As the conversation continued into the evening, Erin talk to us about ghosthunting. Apparently Raleigh, NC contains the largest ghosthunting contingent in the US. And living there, … Continue reading
Preparing for Brain Surgery
Yes, here I am in my ‘doo rag‘ in preparation. I know it doesn’t become me and I know that but here’s the reason for it’s adornment atop my head. Last fall, I beat throat cancer. Although my voice has been altered somewhat, after going under the knife five times between September and January, I’m … Continue reading
