Well readers, say what you will about Florida……and many have…..but a notable contingent of northerners, currently wrapped in layers of wool and down, will tell you that this is the place people come to die. Au contraire my friends – this is where you come to vote! Susan and I fulfilled our civic duty on … [Read more…]
Much happens, much goes unrecorded and life goes on about its business with or without us so let’s catch up a bit. I will try to leave out the important stuff and delve deeply into the trivial. When last I communicated I was on the brink of inspiring a brilliant new technology. Some of you, … [Read more…]
For many of you within a certain range of birth years, the word “Limbo” stirs up long ago archived memories of waking up with bruised elbows and preferably undocumented remembrances of the prior evening attempts at trying to bounce, leaning backwards under a broomstick held by well intoxicated friends to the accompaniment of a loud … [Read more…]
Just another Tuesday. Which is a lot like Wednesday. Which precedes Thursday – traditionally my day off. Friday is reserved for all those creative, productive, constructive activities that can be a real torment if not managed properly. Pacing is important also because we are coming into the weekend and want to be well rested. There … [Read more…]
Much to my dismay, we do not lead a sedentary life. I house a vision of such an existence but it appears to be some ephemeral, synaptic event just beyond the peripheral outreaches of reality….at least for now.

Unchained or perhaps unhinged. Just six weeks ago we arrived here after a 16 hour trip in a race against those delivering our furniture. We won and so the next chapter begins. We have many new friends, if that is the word . They are friends but not in the sense of those we have … [Read more…]
Dear Jane M, I’m sorry I missed your comment on my last blog and wish now to respond to your query as to the exact location of Florence Point. It may be difficult to locate on a map but once one ventures beyond the nether-reaches of southern Georgia and enters the land of the geriatric, … [Read more…]
Florence Point. Has a touch of the archaic in it. Sounds like a place where old people may assemble when the world has long forgotten them. “Florence”, not a name you hear much anymore. If we check birth registries I bet no child has been burdened with that moniker in the last 100 years. If … [Read more…]
Well…………..after all these weeks we’re still on the road, still dependent on the kindness and generosity of strangers and in some cases the not so strange. But there is progress. We have not yet eliminated world hunger as we’d hoped but have traveled far and wide, and near and long, thus eliminating many of those … [Read more…]
Three months in each of our lives have elapsed since last I shared tales from the far side. Much has happened not only in our household but in each of yours as well. Ponder your past. Embellish it, expand upon it, cherish it, create great memories of deeds done, victories gained and unparalleled acts of … [Read more…]
