It wasn’t a busy day with tons of things to do, but it was a productive day. I’ve never cared much about having a busy day, however, having a productive day os very important to me. I don’t need to … Continue reading →

It’s a beautiful overcast Sunday morning with still a bit of dampness in the air from yesterday’s heavy rain. A gentle breeze frequently passes over the deck, gently nudging the wind-chimes into a spontaneous chorus. Although I feel a smidgen … Continue reading →

Happy Independence Day! This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite holidays. Memorial Day and Veterans Day, along with President Lincoln’s birthday and Presidents’ Day are the others. To me, Inauguration Day should be a federal holiday. But that … Continue reading →

The mid-80s is the temperature’s goal for today. It is still drearily overcast from the Canadian forest fires. Everything seems to be coated with this smokey effect. Last evening, Mama Kay and I went to see ASTEROID CITY. What a … Continue reading →

It’s dreary, and raining, and I am preparing to head downtown to house-manage an event at Dayton Live’s PNC Annex. This is a morning I would prefer to snuggle with the pooches and watch documentaries. Last evening, I spent time … Continue reading →

Monday was muggy primarily and sometimes dreary; however, it turned around with sunshine, less humidity, and a great breeze. By early evening, a rain shower arrived, and folks were posting lots of photos of rainbows. It’s Tuesday and I am … Continue reading →

We’re moving into mid-June. The weather has been moderate, for the most part, but has had a string of days in the eighties. Yesterday, we did hit 80 degrees, and today we are expected to see 83 degrees. Tomorrow, Sunday, … Continue reading →

This Sunday morning is dreary and muggy with dark grey skies as we await potential rainstorms. Saturday felt like a wasted day as I read, listened to audiobooks, watched documentaries, and napped. The FabFive seemed to relish in me being … Continue reading →

The rain held off yesterday and from 6 PM to 7:10 PM I was able to mow on both sides of the house. The backyard, not touched in over three weeks, was a challenge but doable. It is done and … Continue reading →

It’s officially summer. Today will be more like a nice Spring day with the low at 61 degrees and the high only climbing to 71 degrees. In about 45 minutes I will head down to The Schuster to house manage … Continue reading →

Yesterday’s weather was gloomy, and the threat of rain was with us all day. We didn’t receive any rain in Kettering, but the temperature did cool down to something comfortable. Today, we are already feeling humidity and we’re expected to … Continue reading →

Sunday could not have been a more beautiful day. I called Mama Kay to see if she had lunch plans and she turned it into a Father’s Day meal at La Pinata. I spent the remainder of the day lounging … Continue reading →

Thursday was a bust as far as accomplishing anything worthwhile. By 9 AM, I had returned to bed with leg cramps and full body aches that mimicked an impending weather front. However, according to my weather app earlier in the … Continue reading →

The weather has been damp and cloudy since Sunday and today will provide more rain by the early afternoon. 3:50 AM begged me for a bathroom break. 4:00 AM begged me to return to sleep. 4:30 AM begged me to … Continue reading →

I loathe shopping. It does not increase any anxiety, but it does set my guard up for impending frustrations and dealing with occasional utter stupidity. I needed a few things from the grocery store and got my determination set to … Continue reading →

Sunday was hot and dry, but sticky. At 6:30 PM, a thunderstorm moved through the Miami Valley and the cool air it left was generously welcomed. Today, we are expecting humidity and rain but milder temperatures in the mid-70s. Today, … Continue reading →

It is difficult to determine today’s forecast as so little is set in stone except for the fact that there will be scattered showers and our high will be 84 degrees. My hands and legs are in agreement that a … Continue reading →

Friday morning began with waking long before the birds began sounding. Rita and Mike Bomholt picked me up at 4 AM with three of their four sons following in a second vehicle. We headed toward the Cincinnati airport to retrieve … Continue reading →

When I was younger, and not all that many years ago, I never saw anyone drinking coffee or water in church, not even bringing a cup of coffee into the sanctuary before or after the service. Movie theaters, of course, … Continue reading →

The only true highlight of my day was eating lunch at a Noon cookout because the hamburger was delicious. I spent most of the afternoon watching documentaries and napping, trying to wrestle the tiredness of not sleeping well the previous … Continue reading →
