alchohol is not necessarily bad (in Heated Debate) Furthermore, alchohol is NOT necessarily bad for you if one uses it judicially .

A glass of wine or Johnnny Walker black now and then can be cleansing to the mind .

Like a Catholic priest I heard about once said, 'I may drink but i don't f#c... read more

I'd say you're flying froward - but you'll have to leave that branch for me to be able to make an assessment

My Blog

Read a good story out loud to Grandpa . Lately, Grandpa has been wanting to have short stories read to him aloud to him . Another relative who was headed to the local library , picked up a copy of some short stories by the author Truman Capote . So over this past week and into the present week , I've been reading him stories out of the book . The other day I found a truly good story titled the 'Diamond Guitar' by Truman Capote .

It was a far better story than most of the ones I 've read... read more

Just this past weekend-- sometime around Saturday, or Sunday: March 29, or March 30, 2008 at night, I was walking by the medium sized pond or "lake" here in Bartow , Florida tired after a long and somewhat complicated day of laboring ...either at the small dreary house where I presently reside or over at my neighbor-friend's house and yard ...when I saw the tree : the sycamore tree over on the perimeter of drab St.Augustine grass and dull soil that surrounds the pond across the short street ... read more

' The squirrels in the bell tower have had more squirrels. '

So reads a line in a story by Jean Kerr titled , ' How I Got to Be Perfect .'

Why does that line seem so cosmic in a minor key ?

It seems epigram-like , or like a field report of some sort .

And it seems a pithy disclosing of some wry secret from some book of days .

Annie Dillard found perhaps a similar quiet miracle when she read from some manual on tents and camping , how some people feel it is difficult to slee... read more

Yesterday , late in the afternoon towards even , I saw a beautiful solitary seabird soaring-- at a somewhat high altitude--- in the sky above the nearby pond here in benighted drab Bartow , Florida .

It was seagull like , but I don't think it was the species of seagull that one usually sees frequenting the Florida coastline . I wonder if it may have been someother seabird ---such as tern or a shearwater or soem other gull like bird . It had the thin , splayed , streamlined wings like a se... read more

Last week, I finally took the opportunity to take my half-basset hound / half-German Shepherd dog : Willow , out while the hour was still 2 sometime p.m.

It is around 2 o'clock p.m. when the sunlight here in Polk County, central Florida is usually best . The afternoon is in it's prime --it does NOT have the often cloying sense of early evening .

So we finally did it : Willow and I . We walked while the clock ---whatever minute hand it was on ---had the hour of 2 p.m. She and I walked ... read more
