A day of the week that repeats itself:  in this frenzied world we all live in, it's hard to find repetition from day to day, and perhaps even harder to remember a seasonal or annual event that remains the same. But it does recall for me a special childhood 'always on this day' event: journey to the...

Writing blogs is fun. Especially when you have something to write on but you really are unaware of any concrete material to base your thoughts upon. Like mine are. Tracing a subject is interesting because that lengthens your blog! Ok, jokes apart, this is my first entry and since I have already...

The other day my husband, Warren, caught a virus. Not the sniffles type, but one that somehow found its way past his anti-virus software and firewall. It masqueraded as another anti-virus program, reported numerous infections in his laptop and urged him to click on the link provided and buy the...

My friend Agnes just dropped by for a coffee. I was in the middle of a scene, but there is never a problem with intrustion when she drops in, as she serves as the example of the person I most admire and would like to emulate. Agnes is a nurse, but while doing that full time, she is studying for her...

I'm sitting here at my laptop, wondering what topic would be interesting for a second blog entry, and guess what? My mind is blank, which, eureka, instantly becomes a topic. Writer's block has probably been talked and written to death, but on the other hand, it doesn't make it go away. Not much of...

Sorry I haven't been in here much lately. I've been working on a new blog. Wanna see it? http://year55.pdguy.com/ Mind you, the concept is pretty morbid.  I'm blogging my 55th year in the hopes that I somehow get through it alive. Other than Parkinson's, I am not sick.  But if I make it to my 55th...
