Yesterday was kinda tough for this potato. The damage I did to my foot while on vacation took an emotional toll. While still in Vegas it kept me from doing a bunch of stuff I had wanted to do. I didn’t let it completely sideline me, but I really did miss out on things I [...]

Phew….what a vacation!
Happy belated Thanksgiving to anyone I missed before I left. I hope y’all had an awesome time. Mine was great!!!
I’ll be writing/blogging/whatever about some of the vacation high points. It turns out I’ll have a lot of time to work on it. Since I tore some ligaments/tendons/something in my foot Wednesday (while on [...]

Here’s a song to get everyone in the mood for Thanksgiving.
“Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that’s ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
There’s a thousand pretty women waitin’ out there
And they’re all livin’ devil may care
And I’m just the devil with love [...]

Here’s a quick update on yesterday’s post.
I survived the evening.
Okay…..I did slightly better than just surviving. (Grin!) It was good. I managed to be much more open than I would have been six months ago. So I’m really happy about that!! Being open (at least IRL) isn’t easy for me. It’s truly [...]
Wish me luck….

Just a “quick” note tonight—I could use some good luck, positive vibes, kind thoughts….you get the idea. J
I’m going into a setting tonight that is causing me a fair amount of anxiety. Well…perhaps that’s overstating it a little. Let’s just say I’m a little nervous.
I’m meeting a new study group (from the church Mr. Spuds [...]

So I was talking with Coach Jim this morning (more on that later) and he observed, “You haven’t written much on your blog this week.” Or something like that.
“Yeah Jim, I was sick half of last week and didn’t really have the energy to write much.”
That’s what I said out loud. What I thought was……well…..let’s [...]
Go Endeavour, go! (AKA Thank you Mr. Wilber)

I was watching (okay…..technically I was listening) to “Hardball” on MSNBC when I glanced at the TV. I saw that MSNBC had “broken in” with footage of the launch of the Endeavour shuttle. Cool! I muted the volume and watched the launch. It was great!
Launches of the Space Shuttle mean a little more to me [...]
Night of Broken Glass

Kristallnacht
I cannot let this day pass without making mention of it. I have no words of my own to describe what I think of this. My heart aches.
For anyone who may be unfamiliar with Kristallnacht here’s a brief explanation from Wikipedia.com.
“Kristallnacht (IPA: [kr,ɪst.aɫ.n'ɒxt]; literally “Crystal night”) or the Night of Broken Glass, was a pogrom in [...]
