Up And Running Again

By |

And the internet is back. It has been a long week without internet, and I’m glad it is over. Now we can check email regularly, the kids can do their homework, Netflix is back, all the things we take for granted. Knowing we would be without internet we tried to make arrangements, but they just…

An Uneasy Veteran

An Uneasy Veteran

Technically, yes, I am a veteran. I served in the United States Army from July of 1985 to July of 1989. But I always feel weird counting myself as a veteran. While so many others have seen combat, I wound up having an easy stint. There were no conflicts while I served. For me, the…

Ulcer Update

By |

You may remember last September when I was admitted to the hospital. (Ha, that auto-corrected to “admired” – bloggers, remember to read and edit your posts before publishing). I was sort of waiting on some event of formal diagnosis to post another follow-up. But there hasn’t been one. Just before Christmas of last year I had…

Posting Without Internet

By |

The biggest challenge I think for me during this year’s NaBloPoMo will be the week I have no internet service.

And Now I Hate Voting

I used to love voting. Being part of the democratic process is something I get excited about. Not any more. All of the ballots in Washington state now are by mail. No more polling booth. I hate this. The process of voting now is…. unenjoyable. I feel removed from the process. With our busy life,…

And So It Begins – Crock Pot Season

There it sat, unused for these past few months. With warm weather and vacations there was no need for it. As the school year begins the weather turns and activities ramp up. This means less time to prepare warm dinners that are ready to eat when the family needs to be. And so the Crock…

Apartments I Have Known

By |

This post is directly inspired by Dawn’s post on her blog. I graduated high school in 1985 and went into the Army which housed me during my four year stint. Only once did I flirt with the idea of getting an apartment with a couple of friends to live off base, but it never got…

Three Random Things I Am Looking Forward To

1. I am looking forward to Mad Max: Fury Road. I mean, really looking forward to it. Don’t get me wrong, I want to see Avengers: Age Of Ultron, but this Mad Max film has me excited. Like, edge of my seat excited. I know too much about the plot as it is, which is slightly disappointing…

Star Wars Fool

Star Wars Fool

I was 9 years old when Star Wars was released in theaters. I saw the film just before I turned 10. To say the film captured my imagination would be an understatement. There are many memories I have associated with Star Wars, such as purchasing the collector’s cards. Where I lived the summer of 1978…
