I'm Back

I realize it has been awhile since I've been keeping up with this blog, but I think you'll be seeing more here from now on. You see, I did something either very good or very bad.

A Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Here it is a Sunday afternoon, the sun is shining, the grass is brown, which is way better than white, and the ice that never came is almost gone. All and all it is been a nice quiet, mild winter. Life is good, mostly.

I Write Therefore I Think

Recently  I was asked why I like to write. Okay, I really wasn't asked that but I am going to tell you anyway. While I would love to say it is because of all the money I am making but then that isn't true. Maybe some day I will, I am trying like heck. But I enjoy it for three reasons...

Need some Jell-o?

Ice Out

So here I sit at the little house on the lake and I have made it through another winter. No the mergansers haven't yet returned, but the ice is melting which means the mergansers can't be far behind. I don't like winter and it really has nothing to do with the weather, although the cold and snow certainly doesn't help. No, winter is the time when it always seems the tunnel, which in summer seems so short and the light at the end of it isn't a train, gets longer again and you think the light really is a train.

Sitting by the lake on a snowy afternoon

Here I sit at the little house on the lake, looking out at the cloudy sky, guessing it is going to snow, There is ice on the lake, although I am not certain it is safe yet. Buttons and Maggie the cat are sleeping in front of the stove, Maggie finally has begun to tolerate Buttons and has decided to end her self imposed exile to the bedroom and rejoin the family. Lately I have been thinking quite a bit about history, more precisely my history. I know what a surprise.

Maybe the light isn't a train after all

I know, I know, it's been awhile since I've written in this blog, but it isn't because I am not writing. In fact I am writing more than ever. The problem has been I don't have as much time to write, because it seems my boss has decided I should no longer have access to the internet at work so instead of spending time doing useful things he would rather have me be like the other drivers and hang around and bitch about things. Not that bitching isn't good, but I would rather be educating myself.

Writing, Life and Buttons the Wonder dog

I suppose I've been slacking with this blog lately, but mostly it is just a matter of time. Just don't seem to have as much of it anymore. For awhile I was able to do lots of writing at work, but it seems the powers that be have decided they don't want me to be online. So instead, now I spend my time between calls sitting around with the other drivers bitching about things.

I'm still here

I hate it when work interferes with my personal life. It seems someone ratted me out and I no longer have access to the internet where I work. So now instead of blessing you all with my insightful prose and pontifications I get to sit around and do nothing.
