Good morning OBOB. I met with Peter today. My lawn and landscape division is taking a huge tree down in his front yard, so I visited the job. He is almost recovered from his surgery and looks good. I had to settle the ridiculous idea that he was planning to pay for this. After all he has...

It was a year ago when I last posted here. I hope I find all of you safe and well. There have been many changes over the last twelve months. How are things with y'all?

I just got a phone call from the guy from the oldies band I played with a few years ago. The piano player has an out of town funeral to attend and can't make the show tomorrow. This is a monthly gig on a small club with an older crowd that loves to dance. I can't wait to play! I am off to...

It has snowed about five inches since this morning. I do not have much day to day interaction with the maintenance company since I went to work with my Uncle, but I always turn out for a snow day. We have always done snow removal for many of the properties that contract our service. is...

Good morning my friends! Here it is, another Thanksgiving and I have been taking stock. I hit a very low point in my life in August of 2010. I was working in a dead end office job for not much above minimum wage. I had been living with a room mate and was forced by circumstances to leave...

Jesse Norman has passed away. The world is a bleaker place (Note: We are used to hearing this in Latin. Franz Schubert was Austrian and Ms. Norman is singing this in the original German.)

Hello all. It has been a couple of years since I left. Some of you may remember me. I was pretty active here for quite some time until my stalker tracked me down. I have missed all of you. On one of my drop in visits, I found Michie's fellowship thread and decided to speak up. It is good...

It seems like it took forever to recuperate, but I am walking unassisted again. I plan to go back to the office Monday. It will be very different though. I moved Gonzo into the General Manager job, with Polly as the Office Manager. Carlito and Jill are now running the crews. They have all...

Good afternoon all. Tomorrow, I will meet with my new tenants. The first floor of my building has been empty since I moved my offices to the company headquarters a few blocks away. I have leased the main floor to a law firm. They will start remodeling after the breakfast/signing meeting...

It has been a long hard road. I haven put any weight on my left foot since November 15th, when I made a bad step while carrying a basket of laundry down a flight of stairs. I have had several surgeries, and have been off my feet trying to heal. Tomorrow, I go in to get a walking cast and then...

I am back home. It hurts, but I have learned to bear with it. In a few weeks, I may actually put some weight on my left foot after being totally off my feet since mid November. I am blessed that I have the resources to weather a forced short term disability. Not all of us can either stay off...

I go in tomorrow to get miscellaneous metal plates and screws inserted in and around my left ankle. I am pretty frightened about this and I would appreciate your prayers.

I have continued to read here, but I have avoided posting. I not been good company lately. I finally succumbed to taking the prescribed pain meds and they have been making me loopy. So, I have been either grouchy because it hurt or stoned out for the past couple of weeks. I am trying to wean...

Non posso condurre la mia automobile. Sonno bloccato qui in mi apppartamente. Il mia commercio sta facendo bene senza de mia. Sta spendendo tutto il mia tempo che gioca mia piano e che perfeziona il mia Italiano. Ho avuto bisogno di parlare migliore Italiano per un istante e sto ottenendo...

We will be developing a treatment plan. Hopefully, it will be short

It was a lovely day. Bennie came and picked me up, and I spent the day with his family. Dinner was very nice, and the company was great. He brought me home a little bit ago, and I am now in soft pajamas, in a comfortable chair with my bad ankle resting on a fluffy pillow. I am thankful for...
