Life is good. Tom has gone sailing today.* Okay, you say, so what’s the big deal about that? Well, due to circumstances way beyond our/his control, this is the very first time he’s had the chance.  If you are regular readers, and I’m sure you all are, then you’ve read my posts all spring and [...]

Photo Contest Judging Nearly FInished – Hang Tight – Another Day or So

August 30th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Finding Direction Contests, Health, Photos, Videos, Tom & Me

Judging and the writing up of the blog on the winners has been going strong.  WAS going strong, until Tom got sick about six days ago.  It kept on, so I finally had to take him to the doctor today.  The diagnosis:  “Acute sinusitis/Pharyngitis/Bronchitis.”  I suppose it could have been worse.  He’s never had his [...]

I’ve “Cured” My Slump! ha!

August 5th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Humor, Reflections, Tom & Me

Well, I figured out how to “cure” my slump. I made my coffee a whole lot stronger this morning and drank more of it.  I’m wired! To keep up the caffeine high I’m on, I’ve decided to go grocery shopping after lunch (which is always a downer in Picayune) in Slidell, next big town down [...]

July 26th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Humor, Perspective, Reflections, Tom & Me

Tom is currently contemplating whether to take up a friend’s offer to let him come put “THE BOAT” in the water behind his house, which is located on a small lake with access to Lake Pontchartrain near Slidell.  He was thinking that he would do that as he took the boat out of the water [...]

“Das Boot” a/k/a “THE BOAT” – Conclusion

July 20th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Humor, Philosophical, Reflections, Tom & Me

Time had streamed rapidly by, gliding from a cold winter, into wet spring and now into the morass of hot, humid heat called summer on the Mississippi gulf coast.  Tom remained land locked.  He fretted and frittered his time away, necessitating me taking a longer time away from home than usual.  It was too sad [...]

“Das Boot” a/k/a “THE BOAT”

July 19th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Humor, Perspective, Stories, Tom & Me

I haven’t written about “THE BOAT” lately.  Oversight on my part.  Although, you have to admit there’s been a whole lot of other activity going on in our lives.  Like Tom’s 5 heart-bypasses March 31 and recovery.  My 1,750 mile trip to Texas and back.  Etc, etc. But, believe me, boat happenings have been ongoing [...]
