It all started with the hair. Since retiring, I have been roaming my environs with a brush cut haircut that requires absolutely no maintenance or thought towards fashion sense. From the shower, just towel off and away we go. But between the classic H.R. Haldeman look and the daily coordinates of cargo shorts and jersey shirts, I have … Continue reading Finding My Edge

Vitamin Vagaries
Lately I've been poring over all kinds of reading material about vitamins and supplements. Lots of web sites, doctor office pamphlets, and one book in particular on health and medicine. After a two-year avoidance, I am making a shift back to vitamin usage. Just like the occasional news stories about whether coffee or a glass of alcohol is actually good for … Continue reading Vitamin Vagaries

I am, however, taking time to observe that unfortunately I still act and move about my world as a man who has very little time or patience for life's daily interactions. Intellectually I … Continue reading Taming the Impatient ‘Tude
Awe and Admiration
Our moving last year to a community that has a sizable senior population has been a surprisingly easy adjustment for us. With the exception of some of the visiting snowbirds during the Season, we find nearly everyone with whom we come into contact to be welcoming, friendly, and interesting. Since we are still quite young, I had been … Continue reading Awe and Admiration
