You can't escape the date or what memories it brings up. I was teaching when the towers fell. The principal stopped by my room and called me for a moment out into the hallway for quick comment. Her comment, "There is something happening in New York City. They think we might have been attacked. Remain calm and don't let the student's know." The joys of working in a private school. Your mind is now subdivided between an attack in the city and your students in front of you. By the time the second t

Life's ups and downs

Granted that life has its ups and downs but lately everything seems to be such extremes. I don't know how many have been following the fires down in Texas. It has gotten bad and a few of the people here on GA said it got close, but for one it got more than close. Rustle lost his home. The fire swept through and wiped it out. Luckily he was given notice and managed to escape with his dogs, a few items, and his partner. However their home is now gone. When tragedy strikes you feel bad but when

Friday night and a new blog

Seems these things have a life of their own. I never know what is going to come pouring out in them so I don't even try to stop it any more. First up, I managed to post Devil's Wager. This was my fun little twist on the idea of Good/Evil and what happens when they run into each other. I play with the big guns here and as usual I put my own spin on it. I would say it was a quick read but it was 12 pages exactly. My stories lately might be short but I try to fit enough into them all. Secon

Life is worth an entry

Some insight into my Anthology story

Well, I promised to challenge myself to write a different kind of story and I did just that. My story is called Reflection and it is split into three parts: Part I Symmetry, Part II Mirage, and Part III Revealing. In a few words, this story has sex, power, depression, kindness, and a life fulfilling concept embedded within it. The next couple paragraphs might be a little too literary, but I want people to understand why the story is like that: If you read my story from beginning

Nightly Ramblings.

So been on a bit of a writing jag lately. I crafted this really wild story that Frosty is still editing for me.I guess if this doesn't get me excommunicated from the church nothing will. LOL Then today I finally tackled one of the prompts I put up for people. If I can get all my handwritten notes typed up I will put that story up tonight. I'll forewarn everyone I am playing games with Fairy Tales again. I like twisting them to fit my own needs. I pulled out the recipe for the zucchin

A hodge podge of stuff

Lately my blogs have been spotty. Sorry about that. I have been all over the place trying to get things done. Seems I have problems popping up. 1) If you have been reading the blogs you know I finally got stuff out in the mail to Frosty and Mark. Well, it seems I screwed up with Frosty's stuff and missed a zero in her zipcode. However, the rest of it is correct and even with the one error it does state it is to go to India. Somehow the package is now in Louisiana on its way to Florida follow

It's 1970. Vietnam is raging. Love is free. And so was I. Take a bong hit and remember. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRkovnss7sg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qswm7lHp7oY

30 days to go

30 days from today I'll board a train to Chicago where I'll spend one night. Most of the next day will be spent in Chicago's Union Station waiting for the Empire Builder to take me to Seattle, WA. Since my son confirmed he was will to put me up (or put up with me) for however long it takes to get an apartment of my own, I won't have to spend any money in a motel. My biggest expense will be the rental car I'll have until I find a car. 30 days and counting ....

old bob's Blog

The world is small

Some days ago, I read my various entries in GA: 14 blogs in 2011 (not counting all the other since 2006), 1640 posts, and not to mention countless comments ! My only regret is: having just a knowledge of "practice" English, sufficient to communicate in my business work and my travels, but not to allow me to write in the language of Shakespeare all the events that happened to me and to convert them in stories I could write for my pleasure and perhaps for that of a reader. Despite these sh

Simply playing catch up

Today has been a long day. I woke up with a headache and it just hasn't left me alone at all. I left work early and came home and slept for hours. Then made dinner. Guess what, the sucker is still with me. I hate summer colds. They are the worst. In the meantime I sat down and wrote out all my September and October cards. So all my friends with Birthdays, Anniversaries, and all my Halloween cards are done now. I also was a bit busy yesterday as I finally managed to tape up the packages I

Signs of Autumn

It isn't even nine am as I write this blog. Yeah I usually write mine in the evening but I go to work shortly. I am sitting here with the room feeling cool and looking out the window into the yard. Across the street the neighbor has hung up yard signs that say back to school, have fall leaves on them, and pumpkins. My father is digging out his fall collection of flags for the yard as well. The mums my next door neighbor planted last year are already growing up to a large size and will be blo

the F word

As I'm a well known asshole under lots of stress, I've been known to use the F-word from time to time. I drive really slow in the ultra-fast lane, While people behind me are going insane. I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole) I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, such an asshole) I use public toilets and piss on the seat, I walk around in the summertime saying "How about this heat?" I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole) I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)

Sometimes you just wish ...

Okay. I live with a man who is passive aggressive in his attacks. But then again he also likes to attack when no one else is around to hear him. Agh. Sometimes you just wish, I can fill in that blank so many ways right now. Alright it takes me a while to reach my boiling point. I am not the kind to just attack. However you push me up against the wall and you might find you don't like the mild manner man you had been dealing with. Okay so my father has been having problems with the phone

The River Song

It's a beautiful day :D

So no blog for months and months and months - and then 3 come along at once. So last week I had a job interview. Actually, it was a SECOND interview. You might recall that I had a few issues in my job, and actually over the last 6 months have gone from being Head of Department to being an (albeit highly paid) consultant-manager. Wheres before I had anywhere between 20 and 45 staff dependent on requirements, now I have just myself and my assistant. So, i have been thinking for a while

The Power of Words

The electronic age can be both a blessing and a curse. Most communication between individuals use to be done face to face, or at the very least by phone. Today people still keep in touch but now it is by text and chat. These can be great or absolutely horrendous. Take those sacred three little words - I LOVE YOU. They can be said with passion, with sarcasm, and have multiple meanings depending on how said and the body language. However, reading just the words alone and you are left to wonder

Random Thought's

Family and work

To give a little back ground first... I am the middle 5 children, ranging in age from 32 - 21. I have an older brother and sister and 2 younger sister's. My family is a single income, as something has always kept my mom from working (that would be my older brother showing up at her job or constantly calling her). That being said in my house there are a total of 8 people my niece included and she's 2. I work 40 hours week, commute 2 hours round trip to work with out traffic and its a 56 mile

London 2011, and 365 Days

Most of you will know that there was a GA meet in London this weekend. For those of you who followed the evolution of the idea to meet, originally, it was emulated who suggested that it would be great to get all the UK members together. so the first things is; UK people were in the minority. In fact, we had a pretty diverse coverage (forgive me if I miss anything): England Czech Republic France Australia Finland Netherlands And most exotic of all.... Deepest darkest Wales! It w

Hurricane Irene and Job Stupidity

Hurricane Irene did what few storms do to the East Coast. She came along and caused havoc. It wasn't that she was too strong a storm, or too rainy, or too windy. She decided, like many powerful women before, that she would blaze her own trail and forget the path that was laid out for her. Irene was suppose to come up the coast and either make a glancing blow off of Florida or the Carolinas before smacking the end of Long Island on her way up to Boston. Well being a real child of Mother Natur
