A Bird In This World

By pwsadmin / April 24, 2023 / Comments Off

I’m an odd duck.“A bird in this world,” Andy Taylor might say to Ol’ Barney.And I know it. My doctor might even say it’s my body’s chemistry.I mean, I have to take a lot of pills for things my body is “low” on, such as Testosterone Injections.So, I blame that for many of the things…

I spent the day out in the country, sitting on the porch with my Aunt and Uncles.I love it out there.The woods have grown up over the years. Their place is shaded.The Great Turkey Creek flows nearby. While sittin’ on their porch, memories of good food from my childhood come flooding back: Turnip Greens, Fried…

Sunday School Fish Fry

By pwsadmin / April 16, 2023 / Comments Off

I got invited to a Sunday School Class Fish Fry. I’m friends with several people in that Sunday School Class, and they know about my Spina Bifida, so I knew I would feel comfortable being with them. And I love fried fish.Not Baked. Not Broiled. Deep Fried. With Hushpuppies and French Fries that got Deep…

Yesterday, Easter 2023, was a pretty great day. It started with me going to the gas station.I noticed a Red Dodge Charger parked. The driver gets out, and I do a double-take.He looked just like my late brother.I stopped, looked, and even tilted my head a bit.He faced the other way as he got gas,…

Spring Break is over at our house.We had two weeks of it.One Niece was out the week before last, and the other was out last week.So, I got a break from driving one Niece to and from school.

Tommy The Dawg

By pwsadmin / March 29, 2023 / Comments Off

“Tommy the Dawg” is so dang smart. I’ve driven all over this mountain with him at my side, and in the beginning, I would say the words, “Hold On” when going into a curve or making a turn, and he learned to “hold on.” He did this by taking his head out of the window,…

The Grand Ole Opry

The Grand Ole Opry. That’s where we were.It would become a “Night To Remember.”It was “Sean Dietrich’s” Opry Debut—a big night for him.The place was full of fans. The “Opry” wasn’t on my Bucket List or anything. I just figured I’d never get a chance to see someone at “The Grand Ole’ Opry.”I was with…

The Trip

4 AM, “Alexa” awakens me with soft Jazz music. “It’s time!” I say aloud. “Time! Get up and get ready, ‘Lynny-Pooh!’” You see, I have an important trip planned today.I am going to the great city of Nashville, in the great state of Tennessee.By 7 PM tonight, I will be sitting in front of one…

The Mussels

Mussels. That’s what I had to eat—a lot of Mussels.They were good, too.“Boy, that sure was a good Birthday Dinner for Aunt Ann,” I thought. —I thought to myself a lot during this whole event— While sitting in the School line, my phone starts making a sound. “Beep, Beep, Beep” was the sound my phone…

The Pink Floyd Experience

By pwsadmin / March 11, 2023 / Comments Off

Over one-thousand and, two hundred words are typed here.I felt they were needed, though.And honestly, I think the first part is a bit “Dry.”Any-hoo, here we go: My oldest Brother knows I love Pink Floyd. I always have.In ’94, I was fortunate enough to see them live for their “Division Bell” tour.I took my late…
