The Lonely Elderly

I’ve been thinking recently how lonely it must be for the elderly. I’m not speaking about how often family comes to visit or how much time they spend in a rest home. I’m speaking about their generation passing away and the life experience they shared passing away with them. I remember my Grandfather watching the…… Continue reading The Lonely Elderly

Thanksgiving 2015

It is 9:22 AM on Thanksgiving morning. I got a run in so I’m feeling very good, energized and ready to start the cooking. I thought I’d write just a brief entry to mark the holiday. We’re having three families over so things will be pretty lively. There is a faint thought in the back…… Continue reading Thanksgiving 2015

Journal Entry – 11.24.2015

Today I popped into a bar called the Four Deuces. I’m no longer a bar patron but I had 45 minutes to spare so thought I’d have a drink or two.

The sun wouldn’t rise until 6:55 AM so I played a little Warcraft, did the dishes and then…… Continue reading Sunrise over the Bay

I have a few minutes to spare so thought I’d get a quick post in on random thoughts. I recently took a break from Facetime to do some Internet learning and have to say I’m enjoying myself. It has been a while since I’ve done a bit of learning and this week I set up…… Continue reading Journal Entry 11.20.2015

Monday, November 9 Journal Entry

We had our first real rainstorm today for what promises to be a wet winter which we desperately need. It hasn’t rained much since last winter and so unlike Ohio where rain is a normal occurrence it is a pretty big event here in the Bay Area. There was even thunder and lightning which my…… Continue reading Monday, November 9 Journal Entry
