… him who writes this stuff …

Writing forces me to examine my views as cold words on a page.My views are borne out of my experiences on this world.
My experiences are slowly adding to the short story that is my life.
While I still can, I choose to share some for anyone who might find them useful, or perhaps just entertaining.

Mega-Update
I considered splitting this up into smaller posts, but wanted to see if I could break my own record for the longest, most diverse, and difficult-to-read post. This will surely tax the determination and fortitude of most readers. Here goes … Continue reading

My apologies
OK, I was selfish and inconsiderate. I isolated myself from people who read my blog by turning comments off. I did it for what I thought were good reasons (to my thinking), but . . . . . . … Continue reading

Back Home
So, surgery went OK, and currently home. I’m writing this on my Droid using Swype. Fairly impressed I can write using just my left thumb while propping the phone up on my chest. They repaired a quarter size tear, anchoring … Continue reading
On my Bucket List – El Caminito del Rey (a.k.a. El Camino del Rey)

Racquetball . . . it was a good run
Fair warning; this goes counter to all advice about blog posts . . . it’s long, it’s of limited interest, and it’s about me. I don’t expect many will read it all, especially since it’s aimed at people who inquired … Continue reading

I was working on a different post, but a comment on an old post of mine gave me pause. The post is “I Want To Kill Myself“, and the comment related to something I said. In that post I made … Continue reading

Not Enough Free Time
You hear that a lot. “If I had more free time”, “I have no free time”, and sometime “I don’t have time”. The last is patently false. We all have plenty of time; we always have all the time there … Continue reading

My First Troll
A few days ago I wrote a post about censorship. As an aside, I made a comment about my opinion of Holocaust Deniers. It was not flattering, and in fact stated they are no more than a waste of flesh. … Continue reading

Opinion: Holocaust Deniers, Petitions, and Censorship
I’ve been avoiding writing opinion pieces, commentaries, and putting down on virtual paper my observations of the world around me. It taxes me, and as Jayne would say, damages my calm. Yesterday something happened that spurred me to expend some energy … Continue reading
