  • just popping in for a sec . . .

    To say hi and that I hope you're all doing well.

    I'm beat. Work hasn't let up and is, in fact, getting worse. We're going to be working crazy OT through the end of the year. Joy!

    I pop in every now and again when I get a couple of free minutes . . . but I'm falling behind in all your posts. But I miss y'all and I am thinking of you.

    Take care . . . I'll be back when I'm able . . . .

  • Absent

    i see you looking at me
    giving me that attitude
    with that expression like
    i'm dog shit stuck to
    the bottom of your Chuck
    but don't blame me
    for not saving you
    i didn't sign up for that job
    it was already taken
    you're the one who kept
    calling in sick

  • Ya gotta see this!

    I know a lot of you are Stickfans and won't miss a chance to go hang at his site http://jstickmann.xanga.com/ but for those of you who haven't had the pleasure, go, go, go!

    The Stick has once again outdone himself with a kaleidoscope slide show that I promise is going to curl your toes. All the art used is orginal, and magnificient on its own. Together - Whoa! So sweet it's likely to give your eyeballs diabetes.

    Do yourself a favor and go say "Hey" to the Stick - browse around the site . . . there is nothing this guy can't do . . . oh, and did I mention he's a helluva great guy too? He puts tons of time into his posts, offering a wondrous combination of art, music, and Stick-wisdom - all good for the heart and good for the soul.

    I have to go to work now, but make sure this is at the top of your TO DO list!

  • Sneak peek

    Wally pulled down the blinds, poured himself two fingers, and plopped down in his leather recliner. It was only after he had taken a long sip that he allowed himself to glance at the wall clock. He winced, realizing that it was only twenty after ten on a Friday morning, and he was already having a drink. Telling himself that it was after noon somewhere in the world did little to alleviate his guilt. He didn’t drink often, but he found that when he did, it always seemed to be at an inappropriate time or occasion. And the worst of it, the reason he didn’t drink much in the first place, was that as the warmth flowed down into his belly and infused his veins with liquid light, his thoughts turned immediately to Bethany.

    Beth had been a good wife – actually, she had been a great wife. In their thirty-seven years together, a day hadn’t gone by that he hadn’t felt like the luckiest man in the world. They had been meant for each other, always of the same mind, always of the same heart. The only thing that Beth had ever done to hurt him in all that time was to pass away and leave him to live on without her.

    He pushed the thought away. It wasn’t a good idea to dwell on his loss. The emotion became too strong, too big for him to bear, and he would end up morose and useless. Not that he had anything pressing to do. Retirement did that – robbed a man of his sense of purpose and feeling of urgency to accomplish anything. As a young man, there were never enough hours in a day. Opportunities and experiences slipped away because his hand were already too full to grab at them. These days it seems, he kept his hands in his pockets, no longer sure what else to do with them.

  • ZombieLand was most awesome! No, it's not for everyone, but if you love zombies and love to laugh, it's probably for you - Promise!

    @speraquodvereor - Yup, so do the people at the airport . . . I have a spare leg that's carved in the likeness of Amelia Earhardt for all my adventures in aviation . . .
  • speraquodvereor
    you do realize that the big lug under the barrel of your leg/rifle is an M-203 grenade launcher, don't you? they're pretty fun to shoot.
