Lunch Time!

Lunch Bunch update!

Of course, while back in the Fatherland, I had lunch with a wonderful group of people I have come to know while on-line. If you would have asked me, or just about any of them, while I was in high school that I would be able to make friends without meeting them and know them as if I had the pleasure of sitting in the same room, I would not have believed you. But there I was. Sitting with 36 other people, some of whom I met before and others I was meeting for the first time.

Who cares about the food? It was palatable, but not as palatable as the company. What I find most interesting about this group of individuals is how we can all hold such different points of view on the same subject and yet enjoy the company of each other, knowing the individual with whom you are speaking may make you nuts in another situation.

I admire them all.

The Bermuda Triangle

So, here I sit, at Mom's house writing a blog entry while on vacation from all my responsibilities. I really enjoy coming back to Massillon to see friends and family, I just can't live here anymore. The sun is shining brightly and the weather is very comfortable. In fact there are song birds outside just a-waitin' to annoy me with their happy tunes!

I labeled this particular entry such because, until this year, I was unable to get a connection to the net at Mom's. Her neighborhood is just a little too provincial for my tastes. But, at last, someone has stepped into the modern era and got a wireless router. Thankfully they did not encrypt it

Vacation. That period of time all can't wait to start and when finished, we need to rest afterward. Doesn't make a lot of sense. But here I am, enjoying it and looking forward to meeting a lot of my friends after a year, hopefully make some connections with people I haven't seen in years and having lunch with the "lunch bunch" buddies.

Since I am on vacation I will come back later. I was just trying out my new "windfall". (The internet connection!)

A Friends Obituary

Today was the day. I hated to see it come but I knew it would and I dreaded it. I got home from work a little early today and didn't see him at all. He had been lethargic for a couple of weeks but began to bounce back. Today was the final straw. Harley (Harley Dog to most of us) was a good friend and one of the biggest hair makers to ever set foot on the planet. I am going to miss him.
