The country. I’m driving past fields. Fields and fields of fields. I’m coming up on two homes—one on each side of the road. At precisely the same time, I see people open the front doors of their homes.And at that time, one little dog comes out onto the porch of one home, and two small…

I woke up at 3 in the AM this morning. I inspected my wafers for Lenny and Squiggy and decided I needed to go ahead and change the wafers before going back to sleep. Every three days, I apply a new wafer, but sometimes they don’t even last 24 hours. “I just changed these things…

“I watch Andy Griffith too!” One man says to me. “Are you a moon man?” Another man asks me. “I’m Elvis Presley; Meet my son Michael Jackson.” Huh? I open my eyes.“Well, that was a messed up dream,” I say out loud. “Oh well. At least I’m still in my bed.” Tommy raises up and…

A Ride with Tommy

I walked outside to see if it was a good day to take “Tommy” the Dawg out for a drive. It’s been rainy the past month, and I don’t like going for drives in the rain.So, Tommy hasn’t gone for a ride with me in a while now. Outside, it was sunny with clear blue…

It’s Sunday.I’ve showered and changed my Wafers and Bandages.I then placed a Medical Order for the out-of-pocket items that I purchase on a monthly basis. Sometimes only after two weeks. The dogs are fed, and the truck is warm. —I almost broke off into a poem there.It’s sprinkling outside. A bit gloomy looking. Still, though,…

It’s morning: 6:01 AM. “Alexa, turn on ‘Barney,’” I say aloud, and my lamp beside my recliner turns on. “Alexa, turn on ‘Andy,’” and my desk lamp comes on. “Tommy the Dawg” opens one eye and uses it to see what I’m doing. He closes it back.“Just keep sleeping, buddy.” I sit at my laptop…

Deer, Deer everywhere! I went for an early morning drive.I had “Dragnet” playing on the Old Timey Radio Station on XM. The heat was on. My truck was nice and warm. I had my lights on because daylight was not for another hour. I took my time driving around the mountain. I eased around the…

Hearing about “Tom Sawyer” and the H-E-Double Hockey Stick he put his Aunt through brings to mind us three boys and our Mom. At any given time, I…
