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…
Throughout life, I have had a love/hate relationship with inspirational and motivational posters, statements, and guides.

I was just listening to the news this morning and am struck by the where this country has gotten. A country where elected congressional people have to have some charter of agreement that they are signing to say they will accept the results of the 2024 election. What? But guess what, after a week there…
As you get older, you begin missing things you either once could do because of physical capability or miss it due to innocence you had as a kid. Might even be from naivety, I know there were plenty of things I didn’t understand when younger that I do now. Probably what I hate most is…
For the last couple of years, I have noticed that my driving skills have degraded somewhat. Heck, everything about me has degraded to some degree. As we all say as we are getting older, “It sucks getting old”. It does really suck because my mind is as clear as ever except that I can’t remember…
The world has changed and I’m not sure I like everything about it. There are certainly material things that have made life better and simpler. Conveniences that we all wonder how we did without, but I often try to decide whether I’m better off or not. I remember we used to set up times to…
