Tuesdays with Erin
For the past three Tuesdays, I have foresaken Ken as a golf partner. Yes, he has been replaced by a younger, prettier, and better golfer. Erin has taken up the sport. And much like he other athletic pursuits, she’s a natural. When she applies the mechanics of my instruction, she outdrives me as well as … Continue reading

Our Daily Bread
I could have inundated you with daily minutae but chose not to bore you. I’ve been receiving my daily bread and trying to forgive those that have been trespassing my mental tolerance. The week has been filled with time spent at the putting green, practicing, practicing. Laundry here and there, walks through the park but … Continue reading
Sittin’ On A Dock of a Bay
Today was errand day. Not really. There is no “day”. I wake up each morning and decide what I want to do. So every day is what I deem it for that particular time. But I did have to drop my bike off at the shop in Chiefland. It seems as if my back tire … Continue reading

Our setting is a beautiful pastoral setting, high on a hilltop, in a very rural setting. Henceforth, we need to inquire of the whereabouts of almost everything we … Continue reading
Feeling a Bit Rusty

Clean,then the Greens
This morning turned into a cleaning frenzy. It wasn’t planned that way. I just wanted to get outside and enjoy all the sunshine. Then I noticed all the bugs on the front of the truck. And the water spots on the Goldwing along with all the dust. Getting cleaning products out of the rear bay … Continue reading
Changes
[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 … Continue reading
