So, back in Fort Myers, I was falling asleep on the couch after another Saturday night dinner as oldold man Finn watched The Lawrence Welk Show. An uncommon occurrence indeed. Somewhere ’round the end of “Huckabee” I woke up with a tune in my head. I thought the tune was played on The Lawrence Welk […]

Enjoy Today at the Cost of Tomorrow?
I woke up today still jazzed that oldold man Finn and I actually decided to roadtrip from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean and back. How many times does that get to happen? I woke up today ready to write about the mushroom clouds of smoke and the apocalyptic haze we drove through […]
Oldold Man Finn and the unexpected trip to the ocean and back
And once in awhile, the unexpected happens… Oldold Man Finn and I took off for Clewiston, Florida at about 10:30 am this morning. He wanted to show me a little bit of Florida history during this “bad” weather – bad as in “it hasn’t broken 60 in a few a days.” Clewiston sits on the […]
Still not ready to make nice. Debtees are always pawns
On my last year’s journey to Ft. Myers, Margaritaville, I stayed 17 days. This year, I get to stay a little longer. At first I was concerned because I had loose ends to tie up, but everything is now under control. On my last post I talked about how my sister identifies with the Dixie […]
“Six strong hands on the steering wheel”
On my last year’s pilgrimage to Ft. Myers, Margaritaville, I blogged every day about the adventure. This year I decided to keep the memories to myself. On my last year’s pilgrimage to Ft. Myers, Margaritaville, I walked everyday listening to concerts I downloaded from Archive.org. This year, I listen to two songs over and over […]

My 2010 New Years Resolution: To go through as many pair of running shoes as possible To wear out as many pairs of tires as possible Run with me.
Sometimes You Have to Work on The Dream, Too
It’s Sunday night in Ft. Myers, Margaritaville. The heater is on and I’ve closed the doors to the porches. I can’t complain because it’s still 45 degrees warmer than The Region. Stay warm, y’all! I’ll be back in the mess soon enough. Today is an anniversary of sorts, and for it, I going to work […]
The Disconnect Between Indiana Career Connect & Indiana Workforce Development Unemployment Claimant Self Service Site
2018 Update: I haven’t lived in Indiana in nearly 5 years. I’m not sure how their site works anymore, but if this post is still relevant and helps, I’m glad it helped. I leave it up for archival and self-reminders. According to the Indiana State Workforce Development Self Service Claimant Unemployment Website, all you have […]
Learning From the Greatest “Doctor” Ever – David Tennant
I watched the finale of one of the greatest character performances ever seen on the small screen. I’m not whistling Dixie, either. Some could argue that portraying a character that was created almost 50 years ago, has had 9 actors play the part previously, countless episodes, scripts, and books written bout the character, and a […]
The advantage of the designated driver when everybody wants the waitress
Some parts of my Book of Blues come from experience. And some parts of the blues book come from research. And there’s a little “other roads traveled” fantasies and truths cut-in for flavor. And sometimes, my blues book ideas come from mischievous curiosity. Take last weekend in Indy. I went down to watch a reunion […]
