1 Comment59/365: Caged
Tonight I am sitting here feeling so many things all at once. Lately I have been in turmoil inside, emotionally and mentally. Mostly it has to do with the external world around me. I am stressed to the max at work and now one of the organizations I volunteer time for is stressing me to...

Comments Off58/365: Skipped 57, moving forward
Not going to write a long post tonight. Had a busy day out with the family. Took the kids to get library cards in Johnston, with a really nice library there, did the grocery shopping thing… got Wii Active, to kill ourselves with… and treats for tonight. Tonight we watched Public Enemies with Johnny Depp...

2 Comments56/365: BBQ- Southern style
When I first heard of it, I scoffed. I saw photos. I heard stories– raves about it. I had never had it before, but I couldn’t fathom BBQ the way they were describing it… pulled pork, vinegar, peppers etc… but no BBQ sauce? Who ever heard of BBQ without BBQ sauce? Well my wife’s family...

Comments OffDetour: A Short Short Story.
I have been reading some on Flash Fiction. I don’t know if this qualifies, but it’s a short story I wrote a long time ago and tonight decided to cut the clutter and trim up to 1000 words exactly. It’s called Detour. Enjoy. *** He looked around the noisy, dark room. Wafts of cigarette smoke...

Comments Off55/365: Path
Today I have been rather quiet. At work, despite recent dramas and struggles, I tend to be talkative, conversational, and I do genuinely like and get along with my non-management coworkers. I am known at work for my attention to detail and also my sense of humor. I have had a number of customers tell...

1 CommentSex sells, even if it’s not real.
I just had to post one more thing tonight. I have been observing an interesting behavior on my website. I have been pinged numerous times by Ukrainian singles sites and other foreign sex selling sites or singles sites, on one post primarily. If you scroll down the page and read the post views you’ll quickly...

Comments Off54/365: KC
Ok now I’m caught up once again, with that long drivel of a post whining about yesterday done and over with. Today wasn’t really eventful other than being unable to speak properly for the first half of the day as my Uvula (the little hanging ball in the back of your throat) was swollen so...

Comments Off53/365: Procedure and Frustration
Another day of quiet, but this time due to health reasons. For a very long time (years) I have battled Reflux, acid indigestion, sour stomach, bloating, etc. I have always just dealt with it, not considering it worthy of mentioning to a doctor as I don’t like going to doctors, and they surely have much...

1 CommentFinding Balance.
I feel like I’ve been away too long. Two days away from my keyboard, from writing is too much. Since trying to focus and discipline myself to write daily, it seems like Life has its own agenda to throw me off course. I can’t keep letting it happen. Work stress, health issues, busy schedules all...

Comments Off52/365:To Go Down a Hill Quickly
Today I volunteered to chaperone my eight year old’s girl scout troup field trip. We took the girls to Seven Oaks Recreation Center in Boone, Iowa for some snow tubing. The last time I went tubing was in college, on a mountain, in Winter Park, Colorado while hungover. I was much younger then. Despite my...
