Devious Thinking

Whew, the wife is in the bedroom balancing her checkbook! The checkbook doesn’t bother me because I can’t write that well anymore, cannot balance the D-N thing, and more than anything I do not write checks.

My concern is if she gets a look at my credit card I use exclusively for my books at Amazon.com and Abebooks.com there could be trouble. Although she pays the balance off faithfully each month, this month MAY BE just a tad bit high.

Hey, if she does see it, she just may kill or maim me now and I won’t be able to make it to the hospital tomorrow. That’s the answer, I’m going to go in there and slide that bill where she will find it – clever!

May or may not see you soon…

The Forbidden...


Although I am forbidden to eat candy, my grandson and I are sitting here watching Batman, drinking hot chocolate, and snaking on a candy bar. Oh, there is nothing like being bad and defying your doctors orders!

The wife and grandson went into town after Church and lunch and bought a new spiffy pair of Nike shoes for my grandson. Why was I not in Church? The organ gives me the pleasure of having seizures. It’s the high notes according to my docs. What was I doing while they were in town, in bed asleep of course?

I have to build up my courage to enter that medieval torture chamber tomorrow morning. Man how I hate hospitals and the torture they put on a human body. Being in a hospital takes weeks off your life span and this ‘ol boy doesn’t have that much further to go!

Having my grandson living with us now does give an incentive to stay around a little bit longer. At ten years old, he is a ball of energy that demands attention – something he has not had in many, many years. The fault is mine; I should have acted much, much sooner than I did.

See you soon…

Teenager!

Sitting in my little corner of the world, surrounded by books and my computer, remembrances of past times flowed like a crooked river through this old man’s brain. Then something hit me of a revelation my grandson made on his tenth birthday several weeks ago.

He was at the kitchen table eating his birthday cake and ice cream when he looked directly at me and said, “BoBo, I will be thirteen in three years.” All thoughts of my teenage years past before my eyes and all I could think of was, “God have Mercy, God have Mercy!”

All of us good Lutherans are well versed in saying, “God have Mercy, God have Mercy.” But coming from my thoughts and remembering my past teenage years it just does not have the same meaning or interpretation as it does in the Liturgy.

See you soon…

What to Post?

Decisions, decisions! Ah, my strength is returning albeit slowly and my grandson turned in his Science Fair project today.

There are plenty of thoughts jumbled up in this old man’s mind but as hard as I try to ignore them, they remain political concerns. Yep, I did manage to make all my phone calls to my Senators and my Representative to debate my case today. Not that it does that much good but they all call me by my first name now. I wonder if that is good or bad.

Not much else to say until my strength is back to normal but I’ll do my best in the future to make my posts a tad more interesting.

See you soon…

A Small Setback

Hopefully by next week I can be running at a much more efficient and with adequate mental power to continue blogging more consistently.

I love blogging and reading my favorites on a daily basis but now it is on purely a hit and miss basis not one I enjoy.

I have one important task to do today, one I promised my grandson last night, and that is to edit a story he is writing. As much as I may not feel quite up to it, a promise is a promise.

An Inconsequential Post

No classical music tonight and no heavy reading – The album, “A Day Without Rain,” by Enya flows out of my computer speakers. These speakers came from an old Dell of mine and have always had the best music quality especially for classical music. Two years ago I upgraded the sound card in this Dell [cannot find the box! Frustrating] but as far as I can remember it is a Sound Blaster with Dolby sound…

My book is Michael Crichton’s State of Fear – Adventure and Suspense a book for the pure act of relaxation.

Although my reading is slow and I must take a break every so often, I am enjoying myself. Oh yes, a mug of superbly brewed Columbian coffee sits close by on the desk.

See you soon…

Back

Back but not quite in the groove yet… Beginning some computer time albeit when my two caretakers are out of the house but that will soon change as my physical and mental strength returns.

Some very special blog friends have already been in touch and it is hard to say how much these friends mean to me.

The wife and daughter are home and it is time I must leave my small corner of the world.

See you soon.
