it's a convoluted mess
It’s after midnight so Christmas is over. And thank God for that. Joe spent over a week in the hospital with pneumonia and ended up having surgery to clean out infection around his lung. A seven-inch incision and a deliberately broken rib, plus tubes to drain things, and 24/7 oxygen support, he was an ornery bastard who just wanted to go home and have a cigarette. If I were Gayle, I’d put my foot in… Keep reading…It’s nothing new…
Saturday afternoon Bob and I hauled it down to Small Town, Minnesota for my cousin Jamie’s graduation party. Little Jamie, the first of many babies my mom took care of from my mid-teens and on.

But if I’m in the right (or perhaps wrong?) mindset when I listen to this song, it has the power to turn me into a sniveling, blubbering, snotty MESS. My… Keep reading…30 Days of Blogging…Day 16…
30 Days of Blogging… Day 8: A Photo that Makes You Angry/Sad… I wasn’t sure what to do for this one. Why would I want to look at pictures that make me angry or sad? When it comes to the picture posts of this particular meme I want to stick to my own pictures if I can, so I was trying to figure out what I could use for this day. And then I remembered… Keep reading…30 Days of Blogging…Day 8…
