My brother-in-law, Roy, wrote the obituary for his mother and my mother-in-law, Anita. I’m putting it here because I know it won’t get lost. Anita M. Frye, 90, died in Asheville NC on April 13, 2021. She had been a resident of Midland for more than 60 years before leaving in 2015 to be cared […]
My boys just got back from Scout Summer Camp at Medicine Mountain in South Dakota. I always look forward to the “dispatches” that come from the Assistant Scout Master, Jeff Bradley. His writing transports me there and his droll humor brings me joy. Enjoy … Dispatch One The following dispatch is from a sleep-deprived Assistant […]
Lately I’ve been pondering how to proceed with my blog. I’m still into it it although less interested in it being public. I’m sure with a little research I could find a way to make the whole shebang private – past posts and future – and blast my followers with a password and proceed in […]

Time flies when it’s standing still. My life isn’t actually boring, I’ve been busier than ever. I picked up a couple more […]
This is going to be one of the hardest posts I’ve ever written because I’m going to write it entirely with my thumbs. I left my laptop charger at my sweetheart’s house this morning and my computer only lasts about 10 minutes on a full charge, so there it is. There’s this thing that happens […]
I dreamt I was in my house with my contractor, Jason. He wanted to give a presentation about popping the top and adding a second floor, something I’ve been looking at IRL but gave up on because of the cost … almost 300K to add 600 square feet. He and I invited about twenty people […]
