Quiet Flitterings

July 23rd, 2008 · 5 Comments

Things have been real quiet lately. It doesn’t seem like anyone’s around anymore. I hope the various boards I am a member of don’t close up for lack of use.
Right now, I feel like I really want to talk with someone, either through a chat program or on the phone. I want to COMMUNICATE […]

I will not, however, have Internet access for sometime. Therefore, those who read this blog will have to content themselves with my archives until […]

Today is the Day

February 7th, 2008 · 6 Comments

One year a go today was the worst day for me in a long time. My Wife and I lost our Min Pin, Lexi, to diabeties. I held her and my Wife was with her in her last moments as she left this world. It was the sadest thing I’ve ever done.
