Ankle Rehab

Has it really been a month? My ankle is feeling much better, not as well as I’d like, but better still. A few days after the injury, I was walking all right. A week after the injury I was able...


I was thinking about my “romantic” history, and by that I mean all the women I was ever smitten with. I realized something interesting, but I’m not sure what it means. Every woman with whom I w...


I haven’t forgotten about my Prosebox, I just need to get a life so that I have more to update. Right now, my life has taken on a comfortable, if uneventful, routine. If anything disrupts that ...


I fancy myself to be in really good physical shape. I follow a reasonable diet and exercise religiously, but I have one aspect of my health I can’t get in order, my mouth. I have periodontal di...

The Art of Flirtation

I suck at it. I’ve long been an extra introverted type. On a scale of one to ten, with ten being full time shut in, I’m probably a nine. There are advantages to being an introvert. We think m...

Fur-Kid Photos

When my dad passed away, among the very few possessions of his I wanted was his cats. I lived with my dad for a couple of years when I was unemployed during the recession. During that time, we ...

Fraudulent

I’m familiar with the saying “Fake it until you make it.” I don’t know where that saying originated from or for what reason, but I understand that it’s contemporary application is that new emplo...

Work Grievances

Work last week was aggravating. Last year, the president of my business unit decided to have a beginning of the year meeting at a local resort. I say local, but the resort was about two hours n...


I used to think I was invincible. At least, I thought I could make myself stay fit and able bodied by sheer self discipline. I’d see older people who were once strong and active and were now de...


I decided not to apply to that job posting. More accurately, the job posting was removed before I made any decision one way or another. Even if another position appropriate for me becomes avail...

Job change (maybe?)

I’m thinking about a job change. I’ve written about in previous entries how I’d like to get out of Atlanta (generally) and move back to Athens (specifically). At the moment, I have a very entic...

The Childlessness Issue

Last week I was having lunch with some of my coworkers. For a couple of days every month end close, my department orders a lunch for the accountants. It’s a nice perk that kind of compensates h...

Thanksgiving

I suppose Thanksgiving 2015 was a success. It’s weird that last Thursday was the first Thanksgiving without my dad. I think about the times these past few years I had to drive down to Eastman a...


I tested for my blue belt yesterday. Nope, I didn’t make a 100. As a matter of fact, I barely passed. I was kind of shocked to say the least. When I had my review class a week ago, I thought...

Work/Thievery/JJ

My psuedo vacation is almost over. My office has almost finished with renovations, so I’ll be back in a cubicle on Tuesday. I’m going to miss not driving to work every morning. At least I’ve f...

Questionairre

How do you take your tea? I seldom drink tea, but I will admit that I enjoy a glass of sweet iced tea during the summer. I drink hot tea even more rarely, but when I do, I do so because I’m sick...

Practice Retirement

I’ve adored working from home these past two weeks. I love not having to commute. I love being able to wear jeans and t-shirts every day. I love being able to start a crock pot meal in the mor...


I’ve been thinking about the future of my love life or lack thereof as the case may be. I realize that many marriages end in bitter divorce, but many don’t. Plenty of couples remained happily m...


I need to write, but nothing of grand consequence has happened. Something fantastic on a personal level did happen last weekend. In one of my previous entries, I wrote about one of my Dad’s cat...

Beginning Dating?

I’m wondering if I need to start dating. It’s not so much that I think I should as I worry that not doing it means something worse. All I can think about is Mr. Heckel. Perhaps people today ar...


I had an eye opening experience in Jiu Jitsu last week. Every Friday, we have a Reflex Development class after which, we roll (Note: Jiu Jitsu practitioners refer to sparring as “rolling”). I d...

Calico

As I mentioned before, my dad bequeathed to me three cats. More accurately, I insisted upon taking them because I didn’t want to be one of those horrible persons who just leaves pets behind blit...


I asked my realty about the price disparity between my condo and all the other condos that were for sale. They sent me a list of what all the other condos were actually selling for in my area. ...

$20,000 Lesson Part 2

I spoke with my sister who’s a realtor, she said there were some circumstances about what happened that seemed kind of odd. I’m going to write down everythings, so I don’t forget. About mid June...

$20,000 Lesson

When I first spoke with my realtor about selling my condo, she understandably wanted to know how much I’d like to price my unit. She brought a list of a couple of condos in my subdivision comple...


Book Description

Hello, my name is Rob, or Robbo, if you will. It was a nickname given to me in college by some very close friends. Well, I jumping on the Prosebox bandwagon. For close to 13 years, I had a journal on Open Diary. Sadly, Open Diary is going offline, and I need to find a new diary site to call home, so here I am. I miss Open Diary already; it was such a community. I hope I can find that same kind of environment here. Cheers.
