Today is December 31. The last day of 2016. 2016 seems to have been a particularly rough year for a lot of people. They are looking for a new beginning, a fresh start. And, they are hoping that 2017 will bring better things. Sadly, I don’t share that enthusiasm about a fresh start. Tomorrow will […]

Day 526- Don’t Cry Out Loud
Today is the day after Christmas. I’ve survived another Christmas. Two without Shayna. Yesterday wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I was able to get into the right mindset early in the day to get through it. Yesterday evening I found out George Michael had passed on Christmas day. He was only […]
Day 523+524 Xmas Eve and Xmas Day
It’s here. Christmas. As much as I wanted to deny its coming, it comes- just like every other day whether it’s a day we greet with great anticipation or a day we dread. They call come eventually. Christmas Eve I spent the day binge watching Netflix. After doing my five-mile loop, Tywana and I did […]
Day 501- Thanksgiving 2016

Thanksgiving means spending time with either my famiy or Tywana’s. […]

I’m pretty sure it’s because she wants to spend her birthday with her boyfriend, Gabe. I’m second fiddle in her life now. We haven’t see her as much this year […]
Day 483- 26 Years Later
26 years ago today was a beautiful late fall day, at least in Lexington, KY. 26 years ago today Tywana and I pledged our love for each other in front of family and friends until “death do us part”. At the time I had no idea how long that would be. I always had this feeling […]

The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man I’m just a living legacy to the leader of the band Today is the day of Uncle […]
Day 479- Message from Uncle Jack
Today we are going to Columbus for the memorial service for my Uncle Jack who passed a couple of weeks ago at the age of 95. Last night I dreamt I was out for my walk and spotted an unattended FedEx delivery truck (the 18 wheeler variety). I decided instead of walking I would take […]
