The Possum at the end of the Universe.

Lucky, my Catahoula Leopard dog was acting strange a few minutes ago and I figured he had to go out to potty.  I opened the door and there sat a Possum just two feet away.  Lucky, who is a breed of hunting dog went crazy lunging and howling an eerie, unearthly howl.  I let him drag me to his chain, got him hooked up and left him barking his head off.  Now 20 minutes later he, and perhaps the Possum, are snoozing peacefully.

Through a Glass Darkly

Today my oldest grandson and I built a bicycle for my youngest Grandson.  We took a bike I found in the trash, took it completely apart, cleaned it, spray painted ALL the parts Flat Black, lubricated all the parts that needed it and reassembled the bike back.  Voila! We converted an OLD  girl’s bike into a COMPLETELY refurbished boy’s bike for less than $10.00.   And it works GREAT, too!

Youth is wasted

My oldest Grandson came by tonight. He will be 13 next month. He and I had a delightful evening of verbally abusing each other. He is SOOOO funny. I’m starting to really enjoy being with him. He is a Sk8ter punk who listens to Heavy Metal. I am a music connoiseur who LOVES rock. We have this in common

In the Beginning……

My first ACTUAL post.  My wife and I spent the weekend in the Emergency Room of Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where she was to be admitted for celulitis.  After 38 hours on the ER stretcher she was finally able to get a bed.  I tried to sleep sitting in a hard, metal and plastic chair without much success.  On the plus side, the food was pretty good and VERY plentiful, and in the end my wife’s treatments were higfhly successful.  Then home on the city bus after feeding the squirrels by hand and some REAL sleep in our REAL bed.  Am feeling quite a bit better today but I think that now I am coming down with Strep Throat.  Oh well.  C’est la Vie.
