Hi followers. I want to apologize for my absence of late. Since I began this blog several months ago, I have just been fluttering like a butterfly–writing about this and that and that and this. No real structure. I have poker posts, trip posts, political posts, raves, rants, product reviews and so on. My followers […]
I love Christmas. The songs, the decorations, the candies, the happy–all of it. I have always liked the Nutcracker decorations the best. I am not sure why–they are just very–something. But I like them! I collect them, well, I started last year anyway. My wife has been away for 10 days, she comes back today, […]
Yes, that’s me, with my back turned in the grey suit, leaning in to kiss the lovely lady in a white dress! Finally. I had given up; was fully prepared to wander through life with short-term flings sprinkled between a few never-lasting long relationships. And then it all changed. In a second. Like White Rabbit […]
A weird combo is scallops, sliders, and duck. I mean, who eats duck, really? My wife-to-be, that’s who! And of course, duck made the menu for our first meal as newlyweds. I have to say, i was a bit hesitant. No no, we aren’t married yet, but soon! However, we did venture to our wedding […]

It’s 1,170 miles from our house to Susan’s parents’ house in Virginia. That is far…believe me, I know. I have driven it–in a bouncing Uhaul of some twenty feet long. Bumpity bump, bumpity bump! Last weekend, it didn’t take quite as long. Using miles from my United account, I scored a flight to visit my […]
I began drinking coffee at a super early age, with my Memmie (my dad’s mom) at about 8 years old. Oh, I couldn’t take it black. “More cream, Memmie; and more sugar!” The years went by. Gradually I would take less and less sugar. It was in my late teens where I settled on two […]
