Its been hot here in Dutchess County, and Tuesday was no exception. The temperature reached ninety two degrees in the afternoon before a cold front moved in and caused a drop of nearly 30 degrees in just a couple of hours. The resulting lightning and high wind knocked out my phone and internet. I didnt miss it all that much - I was outside enjoying...

Enough with the sickness already.
I'm sure you're being off the site and people having good things happen to them is purely coincidental.
Yes, the weekend was special. I still have trouble with isolation on weekends, although it's not nearly as bad as before. That wasan't an issue this time. My daughters are proof that women not being able to keep a secret is a myth.

The video link was wonderful! The puppy bug is quite infectious, isn't it? You wouldn't believe those tiny bundles grow 27" high at the shoulder, and can have a fair stab at jumping a 7' fence.
I have to go out later. Ive been whining about being ill for the past few days I seem to have caught some sort of flu-like virus. Im unable stay awake for long stretches of time, cant move around very much and am capable of reading little more than a magazine. I forget sentences and thoughts just as soon as Ive moved on to the...

Wow! You must really be out of it.
The person I proposed to send my story to has accepted. I'll be sending it via a pm in two instatallments. It's not really meant for publication. Although it has components that explore the human condition, it's much too graphic for publication in any mainstream venue. The irony is that what I'll be describing is not some product of a vivid imagination. Everything I'll be writing about is absolutely true. Besides, while I'm not one bit embarassed about anything I'd be revealing, I'm not ready to put it out there for just anyone to see.
More about this and other things at a later time.
Get better already.

Damn. I think Im getting sick.
I had a wonderful evening out last night a delicious and enjoyable dinner with friends. I brought them a bottle of wine and a 2009 SG Pinups for Soldiers Calendar. Both were appreciated and we all had a great time.
Today I have chills, the shakes and a roaring headache. I wanted to go hiking but thats not going...

I just found out that before Einsteins Death he spoke to the nurse his last words in German and she didn't understand him because she didn't speak German, so his last words are lost forever.

This is a great blog. Whether people consider it self-serving or not, It's an honest assessment of your life. It incorporates the good, the bad, and the might have beens. I think that when you still are looking for things to accomplish, it gives life meaning and allows you to look to the future.
I had that sushi with my daughter Heather yesterday that I mentioned I planned to do the other day. We came back to her apartment, I logged onto SG because I wanted her to post a photo of my wedding picture. I'd wanted to do that for a while, since I'm always mentioning Annette in my blogs.
I clicked on my friends list and told Heather a little about some of my closer friends. I'm very happy that I can talk about SG, with the proper amount of discretion of course, with Heather. She doesn't want to know the intimate details of SG in general, but is happy that I'm feeling so good about the site and the friends I've made here.
So, feel free to check out my wedding pic and let me know what you think.

Well now that I'm use to reading stuff on this screen,
maybe the 'kindle' won't seem so strange. I'll keep it
in mind for when I'm more flush.
Hearing lots of wood ducks in the swamp. A few weeks
back I saw a fox walking along the tree line. The bird-feeders
are seeing lots of visitors.
Finally!
Going down to Hampton NH to rescue my Bike
from storage, in the morning.

Tofu by itself, really? Do you marinate it first? This vaguely brings to mind my first encounter with tofu ever, in my dad's kitchen, age 10... "What does it taste like?" "Well, try!" "EW NOTHING."

Your welcome the stories are so wonderful, I love to read and I love history as well.
it's raining here today, and it's a little gloomy but it can't always be sunshine and butterflies

Minghella, when making a film adaptation, would read the book a few times. Then put it away and not refer to it again. His creativity could then take over, as it did in Truly, Madly, Deeply, The Talented Mr Ripley and Cold Mountain as well. He was a great director, and it is a tragedy that he died so young. Everyone who worked with him said what a kind and fundamentally decent man he was, and I think that shines through in the sensitivity of his work.
