Hurricane Blues

As a lifelong Floridian, I’m aware that the last day of Hurricane Season is November 30th. Most Floridians don’t think much about hurricanes after mid-September and certainly not in October/November. As I anticipate a crowd of family this afternoon, I’m thankful for them and many other things. I use a simple app called “Thankful” onContinue reading “Hurricane Blues”

November 16-30, 2010

Here’s the rest of November 2010… T11-16 worked 4:43-16:19, ran 5.15 miles W11-17 up at 5:20, ran 6.41 miles. Ran it with Rick about 7:15 am. Great run. I ran each mile under 10 min. I was able to beat Rick by about 3 or 4 min. It was good to have a run likeContinue reading “November 16-30, 2010”

No Time for Rhymes

A few years ago, my local newspaper had an article about haiku poetry. It stirred a memory in me and I researched exactly what the rules were. They invited readers to send in some haikus and they might get published. I wrote 3 of them. The article mentioned something about the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday andContinue reading “No Time for Rhymes”

Dad

“It was the 3rd of September That day I’ll always remember, yes I will Cause that was the day that my daddy died…” The opening lines of a a Grammy-award winning song ring true in my life… in 2014, on September 3rd my father passed away. I always loved the song, starting with an incredibleContinue reading “Dad”

November 1-15, 2010

This will be the first journal that I’ll be sharing. I plan to share perhaps two a month. I’ve got almost 12 yrs worth in digital files that I can access on my phone. It’s fairly easy to copy and paste them into a blog. Back in the day I lost a few different filesContinue reading “November 1-15, 2010”

50 (40?) Days of Publix Part 2

Here’s the rest of that novel about Publix… written 6 yrs ago in my final two months of a 35 yr career. Apparently by day 25, I decided to quit moaning and groaning. Anytime I see these old journals and see the time I punched in and the time I punched out… I notice thatContinue reading “50 (40?) Days of Publix Part 2”

50 (40?) Days of Publix

I got my first iPhone on Thursday September 6, 2007. Having a smartphone was life changing in many ways as I assume it was for most people. Of all the amazing things it allowed me to do, keeping a daily journal ranks near the top. Writing in general is therapeutic for me. My journals overContinue reading “50 (40?) Days of Publix”

Explanation

I feel the desire to explain what my plans are as I hesitantly enter the world of blogging. A few weeks ago I stumbled across a post I made in 2011 on blogspot. At that time I had commented on someone’s post and signed up for an account. In the next week or two IContinue reading “Explanation”

10 Minutes of Music #2/11-13-13

10 Minutes of Music – 2/11-13-2013 Today’s 10 minutes of music are three fantastic songs by Bill Withers. Bill is an amazing artist. All three of today’s songs reached the top three on the charts, so they’re probably songs you’re well aware of. I certainly was aware of them, but had not truly realized theirContinue reading “10 Minutes of Music #2/11-13-13”

10 Minutes of Music #1/6-30-11

I’ve had this idea for a while now to write short articles on music that comprises roughly ten minutes of time. I am in no way an authority on music, but I know what I like and I like to write about it. I guess I’m somewhat of a fanatic about music, but I’m notContinue reading “10 Minutes of Music #1/6-30-11”
