Over the weekend, I went to Carole’s house in Lula to spend the Fourth of July with my sons and their families. On Saturday they worked pretty hard in trying to get things cleaned out at Carole’s house and then late in the afternoon Mike and Connor went for a ride on Jeff’s Artic Cat. [...]
After a long struggle with cancer, Carole left this life last night at 9:45 p.m. EDT.
Though I miss her already, I’m glad she has gone through that necessary door and is now past the pain. For those of you who didn’t have the privilege and joy of knowing her personally or of seeing her very [...]
Yes, it’s me and I’m back in town … for the moment anyway.
The contract I was managing in New Mexico ended on May first and I got back in town on the 15th. I’ve been shuffling the junk around my condo into meaningful groupings in what passes for my idea of a “decorating scheme.” [...]
Leaving Las Vegas is going to be a whole lot harder than I thought it would be!
And I’m not referring to closing the business or even to packing up the clothing and personal goods for the trip home. I’m talking about leaving the life I have here, the friends I have here, [...]
If you’ve been a reader of this blog for any time at all, you’ll have seen me mention my friend Paul Moor, whom I have known now since the early 1990s, almost 15 years.

That’s why there were no blog posts last week. I thought about announcing this [...]

Sharon Norris, who with her husband Jonnie and her mother Earline, accompanied Carole and me on our Alaska cruise in May of this year, took this picture of me while the ship was visiting Glacier Bay, Alaska, on May 24, 2006. I have cropped the original picture she took because it [...]
After three days of near continuous effort, I’ve uploaded 198 pictures of the Alaska trip to my Flickr site, beginning with this one. If you’ll click on the next picture (for instance the one of Carole that is over at the right) that will reveal the next photo and its associated narrative. You [...]
I’ve spent most of today uploading some of the photos to my Flickr site from my Alaska cruise. At this point, I have uploaded 78 photos of the first 307 I’ve reviewed, out of a total of 954 pictures that I took. I’ve reached the point of satiation, so I’ll return to this [...]
