To whom it may concern
My journal is nearly 100% Friends Only, so I can talk freely behind other peoples backs. But seriously, if you've clicked me for some reason, I do exist outside other peoples' comment sections. I can't say it is an exciting existence, but there is one ( Read more... ) -
Grass needed trimming
And I trimmed my FL a little bit. No offense intended, just dropped a few who either didn't make many entries, or those whose entries tended to swing toward subject matter that wasn't a great match for me and my brain. No hard feelings, 'kay? -
Kinda sad, but kinda not
When I lived in Maine, I worked with Betsy, a very nice woman a few years younger than me, and we became friends. She often spoke of her sister, Darcy, but I never met her. Darcy was an English teacher/professor and wrote a lot. We (me and Betsy) kept in touch after I left Maine, I sponsored her three-day bike rides across the state to raise ( Read more... ) -

One fateful Saturday evening in August of 2001, a woman in a short black miniskirt and a loose white blouse walked into a Chicago bar. She was a hottie, for sure. We chatted, she sat on my lap, and we went our separate ways. But not for long. Events conspired to have us meet up again three months later, this time on purpose, at Miami ( Read more... ) -

For those of you who have driven the highways and byways of the Southeastern United States, there are a few "quiet" stretches of interstate, with only a pine tree every so often to break up the monotony of pine trees. Not even the odd billboard can be seen for dozens of miles in some areas. You are often the only vehicle in sight. Among my ( Read more... ) -
You may all now exhale
We have triumphantly returned from my 20th HS Reunion. Of the 35 surviving graduates, 28 were there. And the mother and grandmother of the one who was killed were in attendence today, so Curt was there, kinda. I'll say 29 out of 36. One of the missing seven is living in Hong Kong, so we give her a pass, but the guy in Stuttgart made it. Two ( Read more... ) -

As I was reurning from a customer visit yesterday, I saw a Rooms-To-Go OUTLET STORE!!!
Next up? Entertainment Center!
I swung in, most thing were scratch-and-dent-ish, but with some looking around I'm sure we can find what we want, and save 30% or so. -

Since I mentioned that "adventures of the armed, locked and loaded redneck at that truck stop in Georgia (.357 AND 12 guage!)" in an earlier entry, and we are headed down that same road tonight, I'll recap the fun, in case we disappear ( Read more... ) -
High Scholl
Unlike a lot of folks out there, I am looking forward to my high school reunion this weekend. My two old best buds are staying with us at my parents' house, like we did hundreds of times 20 years ago. Just an informal get-together tonight, music, dinner, dancing tomorrow night, then a picnic out on one guy's family plantation (the brother of the ( Read more... ) -
First I would like to thank
...that nice SC Highway Patrol Officer who verified my speedometer and cruise control accuracy this afternoon, yes it WAS set on 74mph, how nice of you to check that for me. He went above and beyond the call of duty when he then subtracted 10 from that number to put me only 9mph above the posted speed limit of 55. Scooter was SO hung over from ( Read more... )
