Life is a State of Mind
I guess you could say a fair bit has been going on in my life this year. After a decade working with the same company, I’ve decided to cut ties and try something new. When I figure out what that is, I’ll let you … Read More

Yesterday morning we had an early start to get on a local bus to Liberia. Four hours of fast but largely not so scary driving. I think some others thought it was a bit hair raising, but maybe it was good I zoned out … Read More
I lazed about a bit this morning. Because my two nights here were unintentional and there was, in fact, only one spare bed tonight, I have to change rooms the first two mornings. If I hung out until 10am I could go ahead and … Read More
Okay, I can only guess at how long they’ve been awaited, but I have been very MIA of late. Nothing super exciting, but I suppose I should do a bit of updating here. The biggest thing of late has been re-doing my kitchen. I … Read More
The last few days in Egypt, I had a cough, which was particularly rough when we got back to the smog of Cairo. I thought the smog was what started things, but as I looked back, it started before we returned to Cairo. Still, … Read More
Not so bright but early start to the morning. Went with Sam and a few others for late dinner last night. Neat place, not so touristy. Had Koshary again. So, got in aroun 11pm which wasn’t so bright for an early start. Had to … Read More
Surgery yesterday was both earlier than expected and longer than expected. I had gone home to pick up my Mom the day before and the phone rang at their house and I saw it was the hospital. I answered expecting they wanted to speak … Read More
Today was back to find out the results of the MRI. Has anyone ever gotten a concrete answer from these things or is just me? Well, I’ve got good news anyway. I have not torn or broken anything. Tendons all intact. Bones mostly intact. … Read More
It’s me here, still with the hobbling. On flat terrain I’m fine. Going up the stairs I’m fine. Going down the stairs, I may as well be 80 years old. I sort of started analyzing what is giving me problems this morning and determined … Read More
I’m not sure what brought this old parody song to my mind today, but I’m glad I live in a world where I can find anything on the internet. I remember listening to this in high school on the Doctor Demento radio show.
Not sure where the “no news is good news” thing comes from. I guess it has it’s good points, but as the continuing knee saga unfolds… I’m not sure I agree… After weeks of physical therapy, I went back to the orthopedist last week. … Read More
I had planned to go down and see some art at the Dogwood Festival this weekend as I have the past couple of years. However, the weather was just plain unappealing and I had no real desire to get out. Last week I started … Read More
So, I saw the doctor today. Not my regular doctor who is sick but another in his practice. I was telling my Mom last night (appointment was yesterday but rescheduled because doctor was out) that I was kind of glad that I was seeing … Read More
First for just an FYI, in case you haven’t noticed, I’m selling prints of some of my shots at Imagekind, a print on demand service. These are nice prints and you can get them professionally matted and framed by the same service. Feel free … Read More
Saw the doctor today for my follow-up on the knee problem. And… Arthritis… or rather the beginnings of arthritis… possibly caused by some sort of injury to my knee earlier in life. I think I may remember it. I’m not the most graceful person … Read More
So, I saw the doctor today about the pain in my left knee. Nothing readily wrong with it. So, he prescribed an anti-inflammatory and sent me for x-rays. I go back a week from Thursday to review the x-rays and see how things are. … Read More
Last day in Edinburgh. Tomorrow morning, I fly out at 9am… per Edinburgh Airport, that means I should be there at 6am… ouch… So, today needs to have an early conclusion so I can be done packing and all that fun stuff. I left … Read More
So, it’s Sunday, and I finally have the energy to relate the journey back to metro ATL. I was good for my word and got an early start. Unfortunately, I had piddled about the night going through the photos from the day and such, … Read More
Sunday evening has rolled around and the weekend was incredibly short. Had dinner with April after work Friday and then ran and grabbed some stuff I needed from Wal-Mart before coming home to continue my work on the painting. Did only a bit before … Read More
I think I fall into the trap of not blogging everytime I come back from a trip. Everyday observations may not be as fun, but every so often, just writing down your thoughts can be cathartic and a little gem of words might crop … Read More
I started feeling kinda poorly the end of last week, scratchy throat, sniffles – the usual. Was hoping allergies. Went home for an early rendition of Dad’s birthday (which is actually this coming Friday). With luck the folks won’t look back on the visit … Read More
