Lord of the Castle

There were several delays before he got his day in court. He had to be rejected by the people of California. Then he had to suffer the same hardship in Kansas and Missouri. But finally, by a four to three decision, Wild Bill was released from his California prison. There was a judge representing each [...]

I am in a little predicament. I had surgery on my gums today. Anytime that I go to the dentist, it is serious. An hour in the ‘chair’ is not my idea of a fun afternoon. However, I realized that the dentist also thought it was serious this time. Several times during the surgery, he stopped [...]

Does everything have to turn into an event? I left the apartment at 5:20 this morning to take my oldest daughter to the airport. No, I am not publishing the same post twice. This is a different day and a different daughter. Things were looking so much better than two mornings ago. The roads were [...]

I had my alarm set for 4:45. However, I woke up at 4:40.  In the midst of a 66° evening, the wind suddenly started howling like it did during tornado season, like God just reached over and turned on a switch. This lasted for about 10 minutes. It worked out fine since I had to [...]

My second daughter gave me the best Christmas present that I have received in years! Back in June, I told you about her dramatic encounter with God. I then told you of her decision to move in with some dear our friends in Nashville to rebuild her life. Most recently, I told you of her visit over [...]

After taking a shower and regaining my equilibrium from my son’s desperate attempt to avoid losing so badly (LOL), I took my broken glasses to Costco to order a new frame. My eyes are such that I cannot wear contacts all of the time and I can’t see without my glasses! When I handed the girl [...]

This post might make you wonder if I am just making all of these events up. I am beginning to wonder myself. I have two weeks left before I start my new job. Since it is 30 miles away, we will need a second car. While our F150 Super Crew pickup is a great family [...]

This morning, I remembered why I don’t like working out on machines. If you read my recent posts (click the ‘exercise’ tag button), you are familiar with my challenges in continuing my quest to fight off old age, keep my life insurance costs low and continue to deceive myself that I am not THAT far [...]

I spent Friday afternoon and nearly all day Saturday attending my son’s wrestling tournament. All of the schools in Johnson County meet to determine the county champion. There were more wrestlers (although not the same in quality) in this tournament than will be in the State tournament next February. My son was seeded 2nd in his [...]

I am determined to continue exercising. However, these past few weeks have presented my biggest external challenge so far. (For the internal challenges, read “It’s Just Jogging”) First, it is cold here. You say, “Duh! It’s winter!” I realize that YOU might be confused since it has already snowed in Los Angeles, but technically, it is still fall. [...]
