I must comment on the events leading up to yesterday (Wednesday) while they are still fresh in my memory. First let me set the stage: I am taking radiation five days a week. It is focused on the tumor between the pleura and my left lung and is causing no apparent short term discomfort. But it...

For years, I have been aware on some level that there is a distinct difference between pain and discomfort. Being in pain is uncomfortable, but being uncomfortable (physically) is not necessarily painful. In the past few months, I have had ample time to examine this hypothosis and make...

I cannot tell you, my friends how much your support and prayers mean to Sandra and I. They help me immensely towards keeping a positive attitude. Please keep it going. Thanking you through my tears of joy,

Spike, Money is no object (within reason, I know general web host costs). Time is. I do have a complete mirror on my current machine as well as a backup on a data DVD. so that is no problem. Th current size is ~75MB.

And so beginneth my first major update. You are probably wondering why I am using this vehicle rather than the journal, so I will explain that first. The journal host has been down since sometime in December. I feel that it has been abandoned. I have not been able to contact anyone in...

It is a well known fact that each of us will someday take off on our last flight. Some of us know beforehand that this is it, but most of us don't. It is now apparent that my last flight was September 11, 2012. That morning, we took off from Port Aransas for home after my annual birthday weekend...

I always get a thrill when I turn crosswind and see my shadow going across the ground. Never gets old.

"Whenever" in places where "when" is correct. As in, "Whenever I went there, ..." "Orientate". No such word! "He goes", "She goes", "He went", "She went" in place of "He said", "She said".

That was a scream. Even the accents were spot on!

Not a problem after digesting the article and photos. The truck was stopped with the starter adapter 6-8 inches from the prop receptacle. The truck was firmly chocked against further forward motion. After starting, the truck was backed away from the airplane before the chocks were picked up...

Challenged, You fly a Sierra? as in Beech C24? If so, are you a member of Beech Aero Club? If not, why not?

I said they had no quit in them. They just made up a 10 run defecit in the bottom of the 6th. WOW!!!!!!

I'ver watched them 2 or three games now. They are good ball players and there ain't no quit in them.

And one other important thing....... That human pilot in a shack somewhere "flying" the thing has (literally) no skin in the game when the fit hits the shan.

Re: Womens Softball. Sure, USA dominated it, but that was changing. They only managed Silver in 2008. And World Cup play has been very competitive this year. But, what's not to like? The players are athletes, with largely the athletic body type, in loose fitting uniforms. So the ogle factor is...

Yes, the Redhead is looking better than she has for a number of years. (Smile) As for me, Not changing much I take as a left handed compliment. Othir than my beard turning white and my hair getting lighter (still not really gray), I haven't changed much. I still weigh +/-3lbs of what I weighed...

Dave, Epps treated us very well. Including that sampler from a Greek bakery they gave us as we were leaving Saturday morning. Four generous slices of the best Baclava I ever hung a lip over. Sandra said the rest of it was good also.

Rich, I would love to see a *Peachtree* search of the Atlanta street directory. Bet it would comprise 40% of the total streets. That was the first time I can recall when neither of us retained any idea of where north was. Which would you like to have seen, me bashing my face or the cannon...

Just uploaded the next chapter of the journal. Along with the recovered pictures from the disk crash last December. Enjoy!

First, there is not one for that change. It has been done at least once that I know of and when the owner tried to sell it, it created a sh*t storm of additional paperwork. Re-creating that paperwork may be easier now that the initial hoops have been jumped through, but the cost would still be...
