Who you gonna call?
Last year we bought a washer-dryer unit. One of those skinny, dryer-stacked-on-top, units to replace one we’d been using since Atlantis was a super power. Funds were short but laundry will not be ignored. A Craigslist search and several phone calls brought us the new (to us) unit in [...]
The latest story from Diane:
“So I go to play a local course late one afternoon. I’d be lucky if I could finish nine. This kind faced older gentleman comes over to me with this great big smile, puts his hand on my shoulder and says to whoever is in ear shot. ” This [...]
Hands full in South Beach
I’m spending this week in Miami – lucky me. The photo was taken in South Beach – just as glamorous as it is on TV. The drinks are three times as big as they appear in the photo. Enough to fill large to go containers [...]
Nashville to Sheboygan Falls
I arrived in Nashville Fri before last. Spent the night and drove to Atlanta to see my friend Gwen’s granddaughter who’s attending medical school there.
My traveling buddies flew home on Monday and I had Tuesday to prepare to fly to Wisconsin.

She’s calling me each evening so I can update all [...]
I know it's here somewhere!
Have you ever found yourself trying to track down an odor? That was me starting about a week ago. As I walked from the living room toward to bathroom I detected . . . something. Something not pleasant.
Sniff . . . sniff, did something die in here? [...]
A few of mine
Is doodling a dying art?
With the proliferation of iPads, smart phones and other personal electronic devices, we spend less and less time with a pen or pencil (or in my case, a crayon) in hand. Sit in on any business meeting and at least one person will be [...]
Come on, throw me the ball!
Just recently I changed my answer to that ubiquitous networking question, “What do you do?” My new answer, “Play”. I haven’t had many chances to use it yet. So far the reaction has been a slightly startled pause, a smile and an invitation to tell the questioner [...]
