thunder and lightning

I tell you it's frightening!

And did you hear, the NBA is pulling its all star game out of Charlotte, NC in response to its anti gay and trans law. Whoo! Even the macho pro sports are getting the balls to do what is right!

I read of Nice

I can't help but cry. The Promenade des Anglais is a beautiful drive along the Mediterranean Sea. Karla and I were there, it the exact spot where the massacre happened, just over a year ago.

Is nothing sacred?

I haven’t posted in awhile

Max was sitting on my lap. He asked me point blank why I hadn’t written anything recently. I just kind of laughed it off and said it was because he wasn’t a cute kitten any more.

Tom started to laugh. He fell to the floor holding his little belly and rolled around in uncontrollable laughter. Max got mad.

Ummm… don’t worry, I’m okay. And so is Tom.

It's been eighteen years

I still miss you, Richard!

Happy Fathers Day

Such a dapper man!

I hope everyone has a great Fathers Day!

One year after the massacre in Charleston

Am I the only one who finds it odd that when a person of the Moslem faith kills, it is called terrorism; but when a person of the Christian faith kills, it is called murder (or mass murder when appropriate)?

Home for over a week

And finally getting off my fat derrière to write a post.

I have this amazing new scar. True, it does pale compared to my titanic scar from lung surgery, but surely it is large enough to be noted.

I have a great picture of it on my cell phone. And from all appearances, it is going to stay on my cell phone for eternity. All my attempts to put it on the net have failed. It is not possible that it is user error. Damn these old smart phones.

I feel good. In fact, I can honestly say that it is hard to remember there are things I shouldn’t do, when I feel the best I have in a year. It is amazing.

They told me to watch the BLT’s. I’ve had a craving for a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich ever since they disclosed that life-saving secret. What they really meant “bending, lifting and twisting”. Hmm, new set of rules to break!

Anyway, I am home and I am better than I expected!
