So many emails wondering where I’ve been and a host of phone calls wondering about the outcome of surgeon visits. Here’s the official scoop. Apparently not all MRI machines are the same. What I mean is that the readings on one machine may be a bit different for a particular patient on a machine in [...]
[ad] The past few days have been busier than I would have imagined. Medical tests, blood tests, and a drudging visit to the dentist have taken up a large part of two days. However, I did get a chance to shop for a new pair of shoes. After all, going to a wedding rehearsal [...]
My wife has left me. Actually we have parted company in Dayton, Ohio. Quite whimsical, the name of the city to have a departure of two souls intertwined for thirty-three years. She’s pursuing matters of the heart as she journeys south toward Tobacco Road. She and Erin are in dire need of each other’s fix. [...]
I have had my eye on one of those omnidirectional TV antennas that continuously receive VHF/UHF and FM signals from all directions. They contain a built-in solid state amplifier that boosts signals for clear reception. They also have no moving parts. What we have now is one of those original batwing antennas that you crank up [...]
We stayed the night in a Walmart parking lot in Bismarck. As you can see the view out our living area window, this venue was quite the pleasant surprise not only for a Walmart but you just don’t see this kind of sight even in most campgrounds. Acres and acres of sunflowers seem to dot [...]
The weather in North Dakota is as in-decisive as a young girl approaching puberty. I came to work this morning with long sleeves, long pants, and a jacket. By nine o”clock I had to put on a winter parka atop those items. The wind whipped forcefully enough to almost take your breath away. You know [...]
[ad] Yesterday our neighbors gathered for a Last Supper of pot luck. The occasion was a farewell send-off as we’ll be leaving Medora tomorrow. That time has come again when MRI’s, brain scans, and neurosurgeon visits beckon us to Pittsburgh. It has been a sweet ride for the past several months and the friendships established [...]
[ad] Here I go again. Actively pursuing people I don’t know to pick their brain, find out more about them, hear their human interest stories and above all-teach me something. I needed a ride to clear my head yesterday so I hopped on the GoldWing and headed for the park. I have been toying with [...]
Mundane tasks have been par for the course the past two days for me but I always manage to put a spin on them that brings about a smile. A bicycle trip into town to retrieve the daily mail always finds me engaging in conversation with a plethora of people. Today it was John, the [...]
[ad] Back in May, Deanna and Bill Hedegaard saw the gypsylarry.com logo on our rig in the Medora campground while they had stopped for an overnighter. Emails began to take place and finally on June 6th, they stopped on their way through again to finally meet face to face. Since then we have continued missives [...]
