So many aspects of our lives require a little patience. Problem is we live in a society hellbent on self-gratification every three minutes and when having to take a little time to deal with something, feel they don’t have time or the patience to deal with it. Even when it is explained what it is…
Writers are a strange breed. Successful ones seem to have found the secret sauce. For many years of practice and dedication to writing seem to improve their style and ability to elicit a response with their words. I love to read and I love to write, but I don’t profess to be good, interesting, and…
In these days of more and more uncertainty, I find myself reminiscing of times with happiness and a blissful unawareness to politics, health insurance, and all the adult things we have to think about these days. The insanity in our federal government and chiefly our illustrious buffoon of a president and all his minions is…
Recently, I’ve been coming to some realizations about being retired. This epiphany isn’t seen more than when it comes to retirement income and trying to get a home loan.

These decisions are based on one single factor although we make lists of pros and cons, it really comes down to risk tolerance. We decide whether the risk factor fits into our current assessment of life. Most of…
A few weeks ago, from out of the blue, I contracted double pneumonia. No lead in symptoms other than maybe a little drainage, but I went from feeling pretty good to cold chills in an hours’ time. The next day, I had a teledoc appointment and was prescribed an antibiotic for a possible sinus infection….
Doesn’t really matter, they both suck. I know I can blame most of my occasional wobbliness and balance issues on my back surgeries. It doesn’t rear its ugly head often, but when it does, it comes in a way that I am either embarrassed or irritated at myself. I haven’t fallen in a long time,…
I, like so many others, are stumped by the election of Trump. I’ve had a steady diet of talk shows utterly repulsed by his actions, speech, and overall lack of class. You would think this country would have avoided him like the plague and in some respects they did. If you look at the overall…
