I will seize fate by the throat; it shall certainly never wholly overcome me. Ludwig van Beethoven 3:00 AM my throat pain returned with a vengeance. Not the sore throat of a virus, something much worse. Something that began a year ago. I suspect thyroid cancer My thyroid was working correctly according to the last…


Jul 24 Covid carpenter

By a Carpenter mankind was made, and only by that Carpenter can mankind be remade. Desiderius Erasmus More rain feels like Vancouver. I managed to cut five boards for the rear deck. It took all I had, I am tuckered out. I will work on the deck boards again tomorrow. Next, I need to repair…


July 23 Cease and Persist

The fool who persists in his folly will become wise. William Blake 4:42 AM  awake again. I have no idea why I seem to wake up at that time. Maybe the aliens have finished checking their implants. Do I really believe that? No, but I have an acquaintance that will say that is the truth….


July 22A Peonies

July 19 Ramesses

Though silence is not necessarily an admission, it is not a denial, either. Marcus Tullius Cicero I feel like Ramesses the Great? My throne an office chair sitting at my desk. Complete with cats to protect me, from everything except mosquitoes. I just learned about him he lived for 91 years and was king for…


Jul 18 Don’t Fear

What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you. Ralph Waldo Emerson 7:30 AM I don’t have the symptoms, no fever, no loss of taste or smell, no diarrhea. I coughed once two days ago and once this morning, sneezed once four days ago….


July 17 Grey

Regrets are the natural property of grey hairs. Charles Dickens I decided to stay home today. Turned out that was a good decision. I have seen ten very heavy cloud bursts today. It looks there will be more. O2 97% TEMP 36.4 Don’t  let the blue skies in pictures fool you. They were only there…
