  Wow! I made the top twenty blogs.....that success will be fleeting. That's a negative thought - I'm trying to be positive in all my thinking.  That's tough. It's so easy to pick up on the negative. I read somewhere that the "flip-flop" of thinking negative in part of my AngloSaxon heritige...

  Ok, Ok being over the hill can be a downer. I do my best to be upbeat. I learned to psych myself many years ago - I think I was in the 9th grade at the time. Had a good teacher, luckily.....made a great impression on me.I had a very nice reception for my paintings. We had a reasonable good turnout -...

• Over the hill

  I hate that saying "over the hill" - but I guess I'm there. I keep thinking that I might want to teach full time again. What a laugh. I accepted a two day substitute assignment. Today was day one. I got so bored. I baby sat all day. The "students"- we'll call them that - weren't ...

• I'm here

  I'm here and I'm confused - what else is new? My bride was talking about acting a part....she's a good actor, director and teacher. She said that acting a part can sometimes cause trouble. A person can get lost in the part they are playing and forget their identity. She gave examples - Jonathan Wint...

  Almost St Patty's day. My wife told me two days ago she wanted to find a white bra and panty set with shamrocks on them for me. If she couldn't find them in white then she'd look for them in green with white shamrocks. That sent a thrill though me because I been having the feeling that she didn't wa...

  Another thought about losing weight - what you or I consume at  meals shouldn't be larger than your fist. That's just a "rule of thumb" so to speak but it seems to be working for me.  I'm working on my waste line - tough area, but my waste cincher is easier to get into.I just finshed readi...

• Getting skinny

  by Mary Grace March 3, 2008
  That's a laugh. My body build is shoulder heavy which is not unusual for a male frame. Two years ago I weighed 210 lbs. I weighed this morning and I'm down to 186 lbs. I hope to get down to about 170- 175 lbs.....we'll see.My wife says don't worry about it but I would like to fit into a size 16 dres...

  For some reason (I'll work on it) I'm bothered by something in my horoscope this morning. It said I had to be "comfortable in my skin." That can be "heavey" - am I comfortable in my skin? Am I happy with what I'm doing - not really. I feel as if I'm treading water or waiting for ...

  I don't know whether Monday's should be cancelled but tTuesday(today) has been sort of a disaster. Everyone wants money....we don't have any to spare. Tried to get my sedan inspected this morning....can't pass inspection. I think I'm being ripped off...I think I'll get rid of that auto and get anoth...

• scary

  Had a scary experience last evening. My bride and I were (temporarily) locked out of our own house. Somehow the lock on the doorknob was turned and when the door was closed it locked. We were sitting on the patio enjoying an alcoholic beverage and sharing a fine cigar. My wife got up from her chair ...
