First Weekend of December 2006
This was not the most fun weekend. I got really sick with a cold Thursday night, and it’s stuck with me the whole weekend. I did get a few chores taken care of.

I’m blessed with lots of good friends scattered around from North Carolina to D.C. to Dayton, OH, and especially here in Tampa. If I write about them and their (or our) adventures, that will be found here.
Wrapping up Thanksgiving 2006
We had a pretty typical Thanksgiving. As I’ve already reported, I drove to North Carolina last Monday, and then met friends up in Boone/Blowing Rock on Tuesday. Wednesday I stuck close to home and spent the day with Mom, and had dinner with her and some of her friends. It was overcast and rainy most of the day Wednesday.

I drove up to North Carolina Monday to spend time with the folks over Thanksgiving. Lay is flying in Thursday morning, and we’ll drive back together either Friday or Saturday (definitely not Sunday).
Read moreEvening With an Old Friend in Dallas
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m in Dallas this weekend and most of the coming week. The only good thing was I got to see an old friend. Robert and his lover had been previously invited to dinner at the home of some friends. I went along, and it was a very nice eveniing. They were a very nice couple, and one was an excellent cook. It was a much more relaxed and comfortable way to spend an evening than sitting in a restaurant.

While sitting around in same room isn’t so practical in this forum, at least this opens the discussion to a lot of people.

Read moreWeekend Update-July 23, 2006
This weekend was fairly slow and quiet. Friday evening I did a major cleaning on the pool pump. The pool’s been cloudy a lot lately, so finally I just broke it completely down. Saturday morning I did some cleanup around the yard and the house.

It wound up being a far more active weekend that I had hoped for. I took Friday off and got
Read moreCheeseburger in Paradise
I haven’t had a cheeseburger yet, but it is feeling like paradise today. I took Thursday and (most of) Friday off, and got most all my chores done around the house.
Read moreLife in Abundance
It is when we have loved greatly that our life is abundant. What does that mean. To me it implies passion. Not just passion for another person, that special someone, although that may be part of it. But it also means a great love for life and all the people that are part of our life…a passion for life if you will.
