Long hot summer....
Well, it’s blisteringly hot here. So much so that I haven’t been able to take the grandkids outside to play. It’s either rained every day, or been too hot and humid. Soon though, the fall will ...
Father's Day in the U.S. of A.
Good morning. I was supposed to be at work today, but it is Father’s Day here and I just wanted to spend it with Brandon and Brian. It was “thoughtless comments” day at work yesterday. A woman ...

Still Muddling...
Sorry it’s been a bit since I updated anyone. To say that things have been upside down is something of an understatement. Bradley and Shea were laid to rest on May 23. It was a beautiful cerem...

It’s been a bit of a downer week here, so to make myself feel better and put a positive spin on things, I’m declaring a new international holiday. Yesterday was the fifteenth anniversary of the d...
My week...
Well, after my last posting, I think everyone here read my Prosebox somehow. Which is funny since no one knows I have it, and because things improved the next day. First, the kids have made a u...
Frustration!!
Well, Brian told me he wanted to go to work at the prison. Not the ideal job, but I printed out the application and got him an appointment, and now he says he’s not going. Because he doesn’t li...

Tough Week, New Housing.....
Well, this work week wasn’t the best on earth but I got through it without strangling anyone, so I count it a victory. It was a near thing at times. A co-worker failed to complete forms that are...

Book Description
Just the day to day ramblings of an old man. Some of it will be some family history and stories, most will be about my family life. I’m the widowed father of three sons, two of which are still at home at this time. I was one of the many on OpenDiary that was orphaned, in my case unknowingly. I hadn’t posted in some weeks and missed the notification, so all my OD entries are gone, floating somewhere inaccessible to me, in cypberspace. Oh well, such is life. I’m hoping I can locate some of my old OD friends here, so if you see me, and remember me, please bookmark me and drop by.
