It's approximately 1:15 AM Saturday Morning. Just sitting here smoking a Marlboro Menthol and drinking a Moosehead Beer. Some old memories were stirred up, some good, some bad but that's life. It takes the bad times to really appreciate all the good that happens in your life. Sometimes I wonder where the last 40 years have gotten to. Life just seems to pass you by so fast once you hit a certain age. Would I change anything about the past if I could? No, because then I wouldn't be the person I am today. Took a lot of bad experiences to learn the lessons that I needed to learn. Some of those lessons were rather harsh, others took a long time to set in but...... that;s just the way life goes I guess. Do I have any regrets? Once again, no..... Because a wise man once said, Never regret anything, because at the time that's exactly what you wanted. Once again, without those experience, I would not be who I am today. Took a lot of learning and a lot of years for me to realize just how valuable and precious the little things in life are. Never take anything for granted because you never know when that loved one, or certain thing will be forever gone in your life. Sometimes I just relive my past a little through music. Certain songs mean certain things to me, a person, a place, or what ever. Reliving your past a little has it's advantages as long as you learn from it. I never want to go back to those times, I just want to move some what forward in the time I have left on this plane of existence. I'm 60 years old now so I'm not sure just how long I have left but, one thing I can guarantee is, I'm going to live life to the fullest that I'm capable of doing. Walking with a cane, and being in pain 24/7 takes a lot out of me at times but.... I will get through it. And when I finally pass from this plane of existence, don't cry for me, don't be sorry it's over, Just be glad it happened and we had the chance to walk through, however short, periods of our lives together.

Instead of a sign that says "Do Not Disturb" I need one that says "Already Disturbed Proceed With Caution."

I had to reverse my ambulance over 1/4 mile up a narrow windy driveway with overhanging trees and shrubbery the other day.. quite impressed that I managed to do so without damaging the vehicle!

1. I just love how you guys say and use the word “shrubbery”.  

2. Don’t pretend you didn’t have fun in the process! Any moment like that that warrants a pause and a photo, is a pretty fun moment.  Even if the fun doesn’t kick in until after danger has passed.

I feel ya. Truly. Time has a way of making you see things in ways you never thought you would and it's something you don't realize until you have some time behind you. 

9/11 hit me harder this year than any previous except for the day of the event. Twenty years is a lot of life and a lot of change in life, especially mine. Things to remember and forget, people to mourn, friendships and a marriage lost, a whole generation of kids who never knew their parent/aunt/uncle/sister/etc., lost on that day or because of that day. My life now is a complete 180 from what it was then. A lot to think about.

Americus.... I just get philosophical and deep in thought late at night at times. What triggered this was, a good friend of mine was just diagnosed with prostate cancer. He didn't tell me what stage it is and I'm not sure that either he, or his Oncologist knows just yet. Right now, he and his Doctor are exploring all the options and treatments available to him. My Father fought it for 20+ years before it finally got him so I know what to expect when it comes to my friend. I just hope he has the same fight in him that my Father had. I've seen my Grandmother, My Father, and my Mother waste away because of cancer, it is not pretty to say the least. I've lost too many friends and family members over the years, some as young as 19. I hate to say this but, maybe I'm just dead inside emotionally because I find each time someone passes, it's a little easier to take. in the last 40 years, I've been exposed to death a little too much I think, maybe that's why I'm desensitized to it.... I don't want to think of myself as a hard [BLEEP] because I still feel a lot of things to the very depth of my soul. It's just that death is a natural part of life, I know that but..... Still, accepting it, and dealing with it, well, each person has their own way to do it. Yeah, I'll admit, I went to my Grandfathers grave on the 20th anniversary of his passing, I Immediately broke down it tears. I wasn't at his funeral because I was constantly at the hospital for weeks and saw how he was suffering, and I on the run from the law at the time (Back Child Support) and skipped town. Between those two things, I feel that I never had the chance to really let my emotions show and it all just came out at once so..... I guess I still have a great deal  of left over emotions to deal with..... Just hope I don't go crazy dealing with them.....

Praying for you. We all have our thing that makes life hard in that one specific area.

New Tom Brady Subway commercial. I like it when these guys can have a good time and not be so serious. Lol

As much as I don't like Mayfield, I like his commercials.

Nobody better than Peyton Manning as far as bring a natural for the hammy commercials though.

Captain Kirk is going to space - for real.  

Very cool.

The commercialization of space is occurring at a quicker pace. 

The Russians just launched an actress and producer to film parts of a movie onboard the International Space Station.

You Forgot about the 7 phone chargers that don't go to your phone anymore and a few triple a batteries from 2004.

And a couple of keys that you don't have a clue to what they go to.

A take-out menu from that place that closed 5 years ago..........

The items in a kitchen junk drawer alone could support a 20 page thread.

As we are preparing to move into our new home we have found out that we have too many kitchen "junk drawers" along with bedroom, office, garage "junk drawers, closets, cabinets, etc.".  My wife and I have been going through stuff and if we haven't needed or used it in the last year it's either going into the trash or getting donated.  Keep in mind we have lived in our current home for over 25 years.  We have a lot of "stuff".

There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.

I initially dismissed this post because I’m not a Star Wars guy or is it a trekki?   Whatevs. Then I saw on the news this morning it was William Shatner.  That’s pretty cool!   I am a fan of his.  Even at his age, he’s quite adventurous.  Even did Shark Week and he’s afraid of them.  I say good for him!   I’m excited for the guy…and perhaps a bit jealous

This is a great strategy for junk drawers, specialized doodads and the like.

Also works well to keep one's closet uncluttered and not outdated.

my biggest kitchen gripe is all the single-use tools wifey tends to collect. We've bought and broken at least three apple corers, while a sharp knife has never failed me. Why buy an egg separator, just use the shells! A separate cooker to make bagel and egg sammiches? just fry the egg in a pan and toast the bagel in the toaster.

Ah, well. I still have computer parts from the 90's, so I guess we all have our weaknesses.

Well the weather forecast looks like it sucks while I'm visiting this weekend.  Golf looks in doubt on Friday and Saturday and I'm hoping that I don't get rained on at the game.

I'm bringing my golf umbrella and rain gear.  That usually keeps it from raining.     Hopefully it work this time.

Sorry to pile on bad news I just need to put it down on black and white it helps me some how, but we’re up to 6 funerals now my father in law finally passed this week from long suffering complications. Hardest let is telling my kids their grandfather has died.

This year sucks
