I have these coughing fits lately that rasp of deep seeded conjestion; been getting over being sick for eight days now. Sever left ear infection; that's thrown off my equalibrium, and had nearly lost my voice from bouts of coughing. Phlym, yuk, and blahs - all of which I am more than tired and ehausted from. NighQuill, pills, bottles, remidies; this thing's just having to run it's course - and it anit over yet.
I feel... well, just - bad.
Don't fell like doing much. Nothing seems to be interesting; other than getting rid of the head conjestion so I can breath. Yeah, nothing seems to matter when ya can't breath. Tried all last Saturday, during my 16 hours at work, to get off and be sent home; only to be given one frustrating excuse after another about the "coverage" shortage. So I called in on Sunday. Went to work on Tuesday afternoon; got sent home for being sick. Yesterday (still sick mind you) I got "writen up" at work for not having a Dr.'s excuse for last weekend! Great! Not only do I feel like the bottom of a tired shose but get reemed out for missing time at work; I have 237 hours of sick leave but can't take it - go figure? F- State!
grrrr sigh.... I feel - bad.
maybe i'll erase this crappy post later...
Thank you for taking the time to visit; enjoy the posts...
STAR TREK Revived!
Star Trek: NEW VOYAGES! Soars high in cyberspace. A fastly growing new subculture. I for one am excited to see The Enterprise complete her voyage; though new faces, they're still old friends.
Retro TRIP
This past week I went to visit my Dad. Even though I've lived in various places I still refer to Brownwood as my childhood stompping grounds. The 'ol homestead's been sold, reworked and ready for another resale; time marches on.
An old 1950s railroad car has been redone into a resturant - that actually serves rather good sandwiches. Across town a new Train Museum is underconstruction, that will be neat to revisit.
Though many things seem the same there are changes over taking the forest of Deadwood. Goggin Park, where we were married, is now undergoing a face lift; with all its playground equiptment removed. Several new Howard Payne University buildings have gone up. An underpass' overpass has been deconstructed. Various neighborhoods across town have fallen to neglect and disrepair, which is sad to see. 
Seeing my Dad again was nice. Because I work the weekends everyone else was at work, which freed up a lot of time to revisit the past. It was great visiting Tehuti, and Victoria Rose; who are both some of the neatest folks you could ever meet. Then, of course there was HOWARD.
Exploring the Adventurious Side, again
I've not played Dungeons & Dragons since the summer of 1981. A thousand years ago and someone elses memories it seems. I've always retained good memories of D&D, because it symbolized so much of my personal awaking. Many friends made then, have stayed with me through the years. Least of which continues my wife - of twenty-four years.
My brother-in-law happened to be my first Role Playing Guide; he and another Dungeon Master made our imagination of fantasy worlds come alive. Now, once again I find myself edging back into that world. Not returning to a stagnate memory, striving to relive the past that will never be, but sparking the interest of a new group of friends and creating new meories, and new personal bench marks for new players.
Let the Dice roll, and the Orc's blood pour!
Happy New Year
A lot like the old one; just differnt. . .
Aaggar! Pirate Songs are cool...
HINT: We all want to be remembered; even those under the ground, behind the chain-linked fences.
MUSIC: Soothing the Background Noise
I've finally stumbled, via NEXT BLOG; onto a site where I can now get some excelent background music for my Blogs.
If you are seeking some tunes, Bill Cushman's GHOST NOTES site is well worth the stop over!
SHARE the ExPerIeNcE
I believe we should share our experiences and talents when and where ever possible. For example, there is a co-worker, who is a devout Christian, who's trying to put her ministery oppertunities on the web. Not that I know a great deal about web designing; she flipped when she saw my site, and wanted some advice. So, now I'm assisting in designing a Christian web site; me a Pagan - isn't that a hoot!
My Resolution for the New Year...
I don't usually go in for the New Year's Resolution bit, though this year I have set a few that I wish to follow through on.
One is to stop making excuses and follow through on things; and guard what "power words" I put out there. Another is to develop my writing skills. Foremost, is to follow through on writing to my brother in Indiana. Though we have never been close, and are in fact more oppisite than one could imagine I do want to develop a relationship that has been needing some attention for quiet some time. Excues for not doing so have come too easily in the past. The past is in fact, in the past. . .
Oggie. . . I miss you
A few days just before Christmas I let our Pomerian out, and haven't seen her since. Oggie has been in our family for about 12 years. She was the cutest little dog we had ever owned, yet as she grew older Oggie developed cateracts and the lst few years was totally blind. But for a blind dog she really got around in the house well. Whenever we went to the park or for a car ride she always went along; ever a member of our family.
When she was taken outside, to do her business, she and our other dogs were always accompanied. While everyone had gone outside to smoke and chat I stayed inside to watch the grandbaby. Slipping out briefly I placed Oggie on the ground and told everyone to watch her, as I returned inside to care for the baby. Thinking everything was aright the evening progressed till bedtime, and the party activities died down.
Not until several hours later, and a detail search of the apartment did we all realize Oggie had not in fact been recovered. Then with flashlights in hand we searched not only the aparment complex but surrounding grounds and streets as well. Still not finding our pomerian the next morning we posted signs everywhere and knocked on doors and placed flyers on cars. . .
Still - no Oggie. Hopefully - (wishingly) she's been picked up by a neighbor and being taken care of; I would rather not think the worst, [a first for me]. Alice and I both cried for near two days straight. I feel horrablly illresponcible for having failed in the care of our precious senior dog. Yet after having tried all attempts to recover her we are left with an experience better not experienced. Panic strickened, and shakened by the fear of neglected loss; I feel burtally aware (in an extremely small sence) what it must be like to have a missing child.
Lessons learned: always follow through on your personal actions; not reling on others too.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
2006
I worked New Year's even, came home and went to bed then rose up late but made it work, and worked New Year's Day. At work watched the Eagles lose, so Dallas Cowboys are out of the running for the playoffs - so, we at least know who isn't going to the super Bowl - again.
Not that I'm a football fan or anything, but seeing that just about everyone is watching it all ya can't help but to pick up some of the atmosphere.
Spent a nice time with the family; party, food, and games. Elizabeth just resently learned that she'll make us grandparents a second time around; so congradulations to them, again!
