OK, I’m real tired of being under the weather. Three full days is my limit. I have no appetite. I’ve lost seven pounds. I have a cold. I’m sleepy. All I have energy for is reading…and not much of that! I don’t think I even turned on my computer all weekend (a record, I’m sure).[…]

I was a guest at a function this afternoon and had the pleasure of watching and hearing Danny Vernon (DannyVernon.com) perform LIVE as Elvis Presley in all of the four decades that he was a foremost recording artist and entertainer. Vernon’s “Illusion of Elvis” was next to perfect. The Elvis aficionados in the[…]
My sister Jackie is with Altrusa International, a benevolent organization that serves under-served populations in various ways. Yesterday she and I went to Costco and Cash and Carry to pick up a van load of food and condiments for the booth that she, some Altrusa ladies, and other volunteers are running today at the C[…]
Who would ever have believed that up here in the Pacific Northwest we’d be DELIGHTED at the prospect of getting some rain.
