We have been living in hotels now for 37 days. We are so ready to close our house and move in on September 1st, just in time for college football season. What, besides price differentiates the choices you have on the Great American Road Trip? Amenities. Now, after the usual filters (dogs allowed), hopefully aContinue reading “Amenities”

Nice People
I am starting to sound like a broken record. I can count on two fingers the people who I cannot consider nice or otherwise on our road trip out here, as they were more disengaged than anything. But all the way out here and since arriving in Ohio, it is almost The Stepford State. SmilesContinue reading “Nice People”
Ouch
Or like my Uncle Mike used to say, “two big ouches!” No, not the pain of umpteen unnecessary needles for yet another useless lab, not the pain-in-the-ass newbie who won’t let me even try to get a few hours of sleep, and certainly not the minimal inconvenience of having six stents placed in my heart.Continue reading “Ouch”
Never Saw it Coming
By the time I was diagnosed with diabetes, I was full-blown with both feet suffering extreme neuropathy. But since I worked sometimes 16 hours a day as a chef, I just called them sore feet. I ignored an obvious sign. So I totally saw diabetes coming, I was just an alcoholic doing drugs, eating allContinue reading “Never Saw it Coming”
Back 4 More
My Friends: I am back in the hotel and very drugged up from my 3 day hospital stay after I suffered a HEART ATTACK on Sunday morning at 2:30. Please check out tomorrow’s blog and I will have quite a story to tell. Stay well.
Scared To Death
At 3:30 this morning I bolted upright in the hotel bed. I was soaked with sweat and it reminded me of way back when I was neglecting my diabetes. But what drove me to being scared to death was I was unable to catch my breath and that was sending me to coughing fits. “BetterContinue reading “Scared To Death”
At Long Last
Wow, it has been what, an entire week I have been without my “medicine”? I did not want to resort to interstate drug trafficking by bringing out some medical marijuana from Arizona. In order to make my purchase, I had to drive out to BFE. I know I’ve alluded to many out-of-the-way places as beingContinue reading “At Long Last”
Wouldn’t Be Prudent
We have offered on our second house, and we are still going back and forth with the seller about some things that we want taken care of before we close and move in. But it’s looking good. One thing I learned from my big brother (among a plethora of things) was this: The word unspokenContinue reading “Wouldn’t Be Prudent”
The PROS & CONS of having only one leg
I have been an amputee now for twenty months. It sucks. But being the critical thinker I am (mama didn’t raise no cornpone), I have to look at both sides of any equation. I have to consider not only the obvious but the subtle nuances if you will, to provide the full picture. You mayContinue reading “The PROS & CONS of having only one leg”
Two Words
It seems like today’s world revolves around two words everywhere you look. My right. No way. Me too. Get out. Listening to EX-governor Mario Cuomo change his tune was funnier than firing up a blunt and watching an episode of Family Matters. What a load of horseshit. And he is a Democrat. Certainly no RepublicanContinue reading “Two Words”
