Closing in on 100

The experts in blogging know that I have done nothing right in constructing and marketing my blog. I suppose the main reason is I did not start out screaming for attention to have my words read by other people and I certainly had no concept of actually making money doing it. My personal blog planContinue reading “Closing in on 100”

Social Media

I admit, I suck at it. If you have followed any of my blogging adventures, you know I still don’t have a handle on it. The fact that this blog is being posted about 8 hours later than I normally post is further evidence of it. I still don’t get the whole social media thing.Continue reading “Social Media”

Jewelry

Other than the baubles and valuables I have bought Karen over the years, I haven’t accumulated any jewelry myself. I never wore a ring, choosing instead to give it to my chosen girlfriend to wear around her neck. I had one of those male symbols I wore around my neck until I got stoned andContinue reading “Jewelry”

Suicide is NOT Painless

Keeping with my tradition of posting a song on Mondays, here is my rendition of Jim Croce’s I Have to Say I Love You in a Song. O.K. Suicide. Crazy subject right? If you have read at least one of my previous 170 published posts, you know that there are things that go through myContinue reading “Suicide is NOT Painless”

Happy Holidays

Today marks two special holidays: Karen’s birthday and 4/20. 4/20 you ask? The “official” day of celebration of the counter-culture. Oooooh. Sounds spooky. Counter culture. Since I am able to smoke pot all day and night if I so desire, it is no big whup for me to have a smoke session on a Tuesday.Continue reading “Happy Holidays”

MAN Among men

There are many men in the history of music. But there are only a few MEN. Ladies, tomorrow’s yours. One of the MEN is Robert Allen Zimmerman, aka Bob Dylan. He has written a crazy number of songs. His songs have made him wealthy beyond anyone’s wildest dreams, but his songs not only are well-written,Continue reading “MAN Among men”

Tattoos

I don’t have any, but I think they are cool. I think tattoos look much more impressive on a pair of big 20” guns than when a skinny little junkie has them. The Rock was made for tattoos and I am sure there are many who would love to take some serious time reading thatContinue reading “Tattoos”

Closing the Deal

I am winding down our search for a new SUV and it looks like the three finalists are the Toyota Highlander, the Ford Edge, and the Kia Telluride. Tomorrow we will test drive them and make a decision soon. The sooner we buy, the sooner I can get behind the wheel and drive for theContinue reading “Closing the Deal”

Road Trip

After much chagrin and frustration, I have finally convinced Domestic Despot Osama bin KAREN to let me put together a mid-week trip up in the High Sierras of California and then over to the coast for a stop at my big brother Ed’s in Ventura for a few days. I have fond memories of Ventura,Continue reading “Road Trip”

Selling the House Day 1

We interviewed two realtors today. The first young woman we spoke with is going to be tough to beat. She was smart, efficient and ready for any questions of which I had several. Now I knew the housing market was strong, but to say the current climate is beneficial for sellers is the understatement ofContinue reading “Selling the House Day 1”
