I'm Back!

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 15:43:09 GMT

Now that I have finished my yearly duty according to Matthew 22:21, I will try to post a bit more regularly.

I am fine, just been a bit swamped. Now, I need a nice long nap.

Take care, everyone and stay safe!

RIP to Jessi Pierce and her three children, who died in a house fire on Saturday. She was an amazing hockey journalist who was greatly loved and will be greatly missed.

Here is a gofundme set up for her:

And So It Goes II

Sat, 24 Jan 2026 22:50:22 GMT

So, it's been weird. Mostly due to weather. *sigh* I finally got fiber optic installed for my internet, and that is a big plus. However, I failed to inform my cats of this ahead of time and they are finally coming out of "the trauma" that happened on Wednesday, lol. Poor little furballs.

The weather has gotten very cold but the worst of it seems to have avoided it. I am in hibernation mode until maybe Tuesday.

Not much else to say. Just letting people know I am still around even if I'm not posting often. Take care everyone, and stay safe!

((hugs))

Checking In

Sat, 03 May 2025 03:28:35 GMT

So, last month was... weird. And that's enough said about that.

This month, I hope, will be better. I'm visiting family in Chicago (May 5 - 12), so if you don't hear/see me around, don't worry. I might post on Fb though.

No other news for now.

Take care and stay safe!

Well, That Was Fun

Fri, 21 Mar 2025 01:55:22 GMT

So, Tuesday night, we were hit by a major blizzard. For the last few years, in addition to the 24-25 winter, most of the bad weather has seemed to go around us. While other towns and counties in NE were hit fairly bad, we mostly just got brushed with it or minor snow.

Super Bowl LIX Sunday

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 02:26:30 GMT

Yes, I am still here. I have been busy with serious house cleaning and I have been dumping a lot of stuff in the dumpster. I have donating a lot of clothing that doesn't fit (or fits poorly) to various local charities as well.

I am not watching SB. I have minimal interest in the NFL; I once asked who Patrick Mahomes was and I got Looked At, as if people couldn't believe anyone could be so dumb and still be allowed to walk around unsupervised, lol. (Mr. Mahomes is a Very Famous NFL quarterback btw.) If I do watch football, it is only the local high school team. It means something to them, for people to watch them play. The NFL? Not nearly as much.

The weather has been weird. Cold temps with very little snow. Ugh. It is very dry here; we need moisture. But the severe weather seems to be mostly south and east of us.

Health wise, I am ok. Dr. is very happy with results, so there is that.

Of special note: While going through a bunch of "stuff", I found some old unused greeting cards. But best of all, I found some old photo negatives of my oldest cousins (who have since passed on.) Now I just have to find some place that still develops photos from actual film negatives... hmmm...

That's all for now. Take care, everyone, and stay safe!
