NOTHING NEW. ..

Well here I am for my 17th day in a row at work. I'm a little tired but nothing major, I think it's probably more mental than physical. I'm starting to feel the need for a day off though. I'm re...

It's not been a good week over here for me. Not sure if I'm just having a down week or if people are really being this insensitive in my household. First, the GF, Gail pulled a little boner that...

New Day, New Diary

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.
