Welcome to
Just two more articles and then I am going to chill for a while before I attack the other chores of the day and be on my way to bigger and better things. I want to meet some friends on the beach but I think it is going to take a couple more hours till
This summer I am going to master the Spanish language once and for all, even if I have to pay this pretty Spanish lady to help me. I figure if I have the motivation of a pretty Spanish lady to teach me the language I’ll be more apt to go to the practice classes and
I will talk to this woman later, if I see her, and ask her if she can help teach me the language so that I can better talk with people in my town. Time flows by unnoticed most of the time and when I think about it I realize that 55 years have snuck by
My poor uncle just told us that he has seven to ten days left to live after getting a diagnosis of pancreas cancer a few weeks ago. He is 73 years old and was a smoker up until about twelve years ago when he quit, so I guess maybe this disease could have come from
I just had my breakfast but I am still kind of hungry, which is probably because I did a lot of exercising yesterday between sports on the beach and playing drums in the night time. I will most likely have an easy day today and not play any ball because I am pretty tired and
I will run the a/c unit every day and night because the humidity is really high and we like to keep the climate control system on and windows closed for the summer to keep the air dry in the flat Today is the first of April and the weather is pretty darn cold out. I
When I was a child I became absolutely obsessed with reading. There is nothing that I enjoy more on this planet than settling down with a good book and zoning out from real life. In fact, when I was five years old I declared that I would be a librarian so that I could be
I hear a lot of folks complain about being introverted these days. It seems like many people are afflicted by having an independent and internally focused view on life. However, I happen to be rather jealous of these introverted human beings. It’s a lot of work being an extrovert, if nobody had told you before.
I’m not the type of person who strays from a good thing once I find it. If I find a diner I like, I’m going to eat there daily. If I find a clothing store that matches my taste, it’s the only place I”m going to shop. If I find a church where the message
I can admit, I am an extremely absent minded person. When it comes to my approach to life, I am not extremely “grounded,” as they say. I often forget major important events and have to scramble to make up for my lapses in memory and judgment. That’s why I was extremely excited when I had
When the professional HVAC repair technician arrived, though, he promptly discovered that my thermostat needed a new AA battery Sometimes I amaze myself with how stupid I am. I am supposed to be an intelligent person on paper. I am a peer reviewed scientist and I currently instruct college courses. However… The reality is that
It’s wild to see all the changes that have taken place around us in the past 50 years. I’m dating myself, but bear with this old person’s perspective on innovation. It’s everywhere! From our phones to our cars to our careers. Even our indoor air handling options have completely changed since I was growing up
I really hate to sound like a high maintenance person… but maybe I am, actually. I’ve never thought of myself as being difficult to please, but at the end of the day, I do require a bit more care and concern than other people around me. Part of this is due to my super strange
I really thought that I was doing something nice for myself when I booked a tropical getaway a few months ago. I really never get the opportunity to travel or see new scenery, so it seemed like a delightful idea to go lounge on a beach by myself. The problem was, nothing went according to
I never wanted to live out here, let me tell you that right off the bat. When my husband suggested moving to the country to raise our family I thought he was joking. The next thing I new, he was looking at homes in the rural area and I was baffled. I agreed to go
