I’ve been blogging for a long time. Longer than most people on the planet have, as a matter of fact. I first began writing things down on the internet back in 2005 when Laura and I bought our first house. Those were fun days and I was doing tons of improvements, many of which I […]
Writing & Blogging
My first love and favorite thing to do in this world is to write. I adore blogging and sharing stories about how I perceive the goings-on of the earth and how I live my life. I've often said that one of the most worthwhile things I've ever done is to start this blog. I've been able to transition my travels and experiences into stories and photography for others to enjoy. I've also tried my hand at writing short stories and learning more about the English language than most will ever have a chance to. In the writing and blogging category, you can expect to find my commentary on how to own and operate a successful blogging website, some of my short stories, as well as a few posts of technical nature that deal with Wordpress and its ancillary technology. Enjoy!
Beautiful Quotes
The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land; Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky; A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers; But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking. If I could somehow sit in my chair and read for the rest of […]
My Live-In Servant and His Little Peculiarities
I recently finished reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and found the book just as good, if not better, than the previous four in the series. I’m enjoying the pace at which the story is darkening. If you’ve ever found yourself in an argument with me about Star Wars, you’ll know that […]
Learning English Grammar – Finally
Have you ever wanted to know something well? By “well,” I mean know something to such a degree that you can teach others about it. Think about what you do on a daily basis and think if you know anything to such a degree. Chances are, you do. Not everyone knows what you do for […]
How to Turn Off WordPress Expanding Editor
I recently upgraded my WordPress install to the latest and greatest version 4.0, or otherwise known as “Benny.” While I’m sure there are many interesting new features and gadgets to play with, I’m also sure the creators of this version weren’t aware of how extremely annoying the new “expandable editor” option can be. Basically, the […]
The Old Man – Full Story
Through part of my childhood when I was a kid, I slept on a mattress that was made of 100% foam. It wasn’t like the mattresses we see today. The ones that have seven layers of heaven – springs, padding, memory material, air pockets, water and gel. The ones that are now over a foot […]
The End
There were two occasions when I found myself living back in my home town because of the old man and his wife. I cared for them and I cared about learning more of what the old man had to teach me. After his wife passed away, he was only too happy to see me again. […]
Calls Not Answered
Over the years, and after I left the town I grew up in, I would call the old lady on the telephone. She was much better at talking on the phone than the old man ever was. My visits with the old lady had become visits through the telephone and my visits with the old […]
Spinning Wheel
I remember sitting in the old lady’s room in that rocking chair. Sitting there with my hands tightly clutched to the rocking chair arms. My legs crossed with my right foot resting on the left. I would rock in that chair as I watched the old lady rest on her bed. As she told me […]
The Woman With Iron Gray Hair
I never knew there was a woman inside that big white house. I never knew there was a woman lying in a bed near a window on the top floor. A woman with iron-gray hair. The old man and I talked a lot through the years after our conversation at the pond. We spent most […]
