This spring when we planted the tomatoes, we added a bunch of compost to the soil. This compost had been percolating in our compost bins for over a year. Anyway, this season we have huge plants and tomatoes everywhere. Everyday, it is a battle to keep the plants staked and tied up since they have [...]

We Missed the Snow Storm–Yea/Darn

We just got back from the Rite of Election conducted by Bishop Boland in Savannah, Georgia. We left early this morning form Mass and rode a chartered bus down to the Cathedral of Saint John The Baptist. I remarked to Kathy as we rode through the streets to the church that I had been stationed [...]

I can’t remember where I lifted this photograph, but I love the imposed graph of the rising oil prices. I also remember the oil shortages of the 70′s when we had to sit in line to buy gas. I listened on the radio in my 1966 Volkswagen to a bunch of naysayers who told the [...]

I spent most of the day editing old poems and writing a new poem. We had to take the dog and two of the three cats to the vet this morning. It wasn’t half the hassle that I thought it would be. We put the two cats in their boxes in Kathy’s car, and I [...]
The First Post in a Long Time

I really can’t believe that my last post was over a month ago. I have no excuse other than the fact that I have been too tired to write much of anything this last month or so. After painting the bedroom, I became the victim of the “cascading paint effect.” The bedroom looked so good [...]
Fantasy Football, Season Three
Posted in Just Stuff on September 2, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
It is a lazy Sunday afternoon-at least everyone around here is being lazy. The cats and dog are lying around sleeping, Kathy is reading a book on the porch, and I am messing around with my fantasy football teams. This year I have three teams: one in a private league, The League of Exceptional gentlemen, [...]
A Busy Week

This has been a busy week. I have done no writing and very little reading. I did, however, remember why I didn’t like math in my younger days. That dislike is one thing I discovered that age doesn’t change. So, I will leave the college work to others and return to my glorious days [...]
No Rest for the Weary

After Kathy and I talked on Sunday and Monday, I decided that I would continue my education at Augusta State. I have always been interested in math and computers, and so I decided to give that a whirl at ASU. That meant that today I had to jump through all kind of administrative hoops in [...]
