I can remember when stores were not open on Sunday. We really spent the day as a day of rest, forced or not, as we could not go shopping or other things. Yesterday, I did not feel well. I was not running a fever or coughing. I did not have a sore throat. I just… Continue reading A Day of Rest
I have written a lot about going back to my hometown the past five or six months. You see, I was brought up in my grandmother’s home. When she died 15 years ago Thursday, I went back to my hometown for the last times. I spent 15 years only going in and out to sporting… Continue reading You CAN Go Back
I had to go to the bathroom. I was on my way home from Oneonta and picking up #5. I had not gone to the bathroom in the dorm. I actually trust the rest area more than the dorm. So I ran, quickly as it is very cold out, into the bathroom at the rest… Continue reading Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Today is the day. Back in the summer of 2007, when I started walking every day, I swore I would never be a runner. About two months through summer and Labor Day rolled around and I started running. I laugh because at first it was running to the next mailbox then walking a bit. Then,… Continue reading My First Race
This entry is where my entry this morning/afternoon was suppose to go. Unfortunately, I was not lubricated enough to discuss pleasure this morning. I am now downing my third beer and am getting much happier and a bit more risqué in my thinking/writing. After reading “Men’s Junk” at Momalom.com, I got to thinking about pleasure,… Continue reading Pleasure
It was years ago – many but not so many she does not recall the feelings of shame and embarrassment. This time of year she usually can push these memories out of her mind but for some reason, this year she cannot. She had still not found a full time job other than working at… Continue reading Christmas Years Ago
