What’s going on in my life
Bloggers always say they’re too busy to post during the holidays. I wanted to use that excuse, but it wouldn’t have been exactly true. It’s more that I wanted to be social and spend time with my family than isolate myself in the office to write. Things are getting back to normal now and here […]
We’re getting a new DSLR camera for Xmas, an expensive gift that’s really for me. I have several small gifts for Donna but nothing approaching the camera in value, and even though I tell myself it’s the thought that matters, not the cost of the gift, the lack of balance has been bothering me.

Sunday, and another mixed bag of topics I want to say something about before I forget, topics which taken one by one wouldn’t rate posts of their own. ——————– Switching from snail mail to email for the annual holiday letter to friends and relatives seems like such a bright idea.

Our son Gregory, daughter-in-law Beth, and grandson Quentin drove down from Las Vegas; our daughter Polly and her boyfriend David drove in from Ajo. Donna and Beth prepared the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, cranberry dressing, and […]
I’ve had a sore back for a month and it’s showing no signs of getting better. The pain is in the saddle of the lower back. I think it’s the bed. But it could be back cancer for all I know. The doctor says it’s because I’m fat. I bit my tongue and accepted my […]
