Relaxing in the Serengeti

I have renamed my backyard pool the Serengeti... ever since my granddaughter asked why I don't swim---I just stand there.

How I spent my afternoon...

waiting waiting waiting Moffitt time.

IVIG day. I am on day 20 instead of 28- so the powers to be had to determine whether or not to give me my go juice. I said- what the heck, I am here anyway. Let's break out that puppy and go for it.

But I am waiting for the final decision...

When I am 64

I received my new drivers license today... the state of Florida renews every eight years. My next renewal will be in 2018...

I will be 64!!!! What the heck happened? I was just 25?????

Retirement agrees with me

Back on Cal 101... the energy has returned- I can swing the hammock again- with gusto.

It has been some time since I last posted. I was recounting my "oops" incident while on holiday... I wound up in the hospital at the "St James Resort..." otherwise known as the James Cancer Center at Ohio State University. Prior to that I was feeling great. As I am again feeling good, thankfully.

I visit them (the fine staff at Ohio State- Dr. Byrd, Mona, Margaret and Wayung Hu) again in early October...Depending upon how I feel- it might be a great time to put the top down on the mustang and spend several days driving up via highways- not interstate. My own version of the Hot Rod Power Tour

I am also easing back into my duties at the mancave... I cleaned the shed- arranged the tools, car ramps, etc... and will start and hopefully finish the floor project within the next two weeks. Denise's car needs an oil change- so sometime this week.

I also- being retired and with time to spare- decided against laying sod and installing an irrigation system at the Plant City hovel- I have broadcasted seeds and 'feed' and bought an excellent sprinkler. When we do not have the torrential downpours Florida is famous for in the summer...I place the sprinkler in the yard and watch if "sprinkle"...and look for green to appear from under the hay. I am also considered a "cheap bastard" -the savings have been outstanding...

I have once again resumed my twice daily long walks with Quincy the Wonder Dog- carefully training him to make his doggie deposits in what I call the "Poop Free Zone"- an area that does not require I "pick up..." Most times he holds his urges until the proper location is reached- and is rewarded with a doggie treat. For those times when nature must be answered... I carry a plastic bag. Always a responsible citizen.


For those few of you that may have wondered where I have been- from the subject matter, well I guess the wait was hardly worth it... Not much else happening... just living life-despite what the doctors may say...

For my conservative friends...



God Bless,
