You know what I’d like to see?

You know what I’d like to see?
We were just sitting here listening to some older recordings by Bill Cosby and others by Ray Stevens. I was thinking about how it’d be nice if one or both of these performers would do a few shows in Branson,Missouri.
Either of those would be well worth the gas money […]

I told you so…

I found out not too long ago that the factory where I used to work before going on disability has closed its doors permanently.
This doesn’t surprise me terribly, to tell the truth. I worked there for six years and the first time I was told they were going to close the plant I hadn’t yet […]

Don’t YALE at me!

Daughter Number Two had an interview yesterday with a representative from Yale University. She won’t here any “official” results until the middle if December, but she (and, therefor, we) thinks she stands a pretty good shot at getting accepted.
This means that she’s probably going to be moving half way across the country and will be […]

Separated at Birth #2: My Father and Topol

This is a picture of my father, taken around 1994 or so.

Is that not strange?

I’m doing the same thing I did a couple of weeks ago - blogging while listening to the high school football game. The difference here is that this time I have my 14-year old Daughter Number Three sitting behind me chirping in my ear about the word “toilets“.
I think I’m going to take a break […]

The rheumatologist did tell me the other day that he’s going to start me on a medication called Methotrexate. I seem to remember that about 4 and a half years ago, the other doctor had me on that same drug and, when I quit taking it, there was no noticeable difference at all.
Ya know […]

So, what’d he say?

It dawns on me that I rambled on in my last post about why about why I hadn’t seen a rheumatologist in so long because I didn’t have insurance and I never got around to telling you what he said. I’m sure you’re on the edge of your seat with anticipation, so here goes: […]

Rheumatology update

The other day I actually saw a rheumatologist for the first time in about three years. I pretty much quit going to the rheumatologist back in December of 2004 when I got laid off from my job and lost my family life insurance. I was given the option of continuing the insurance through a plan […]

Karate Promotions

Daughter Number Four is in a Karate class and was promoted last night. This was reason enough to take my camera to class and snap a few pictures. They can be found here.
