I learned to ride a bicycle at around age five. I had a red convertible bicycle with training wheels. I’m not sure, but I think it was from Western Auto (many bikes were back then). We had a gravel road that went through the trailer park where we lived, and … Continue reading →
Today is brought to you by the letter “A.” Since Monday’s are for photos, I decided to share my “A” key from my keyboard. It’s a DVORAK keyboard with QWERTY letters on the upper right (because I can use use it either way. The “A” key is in the same … Continue reading →
What do you think of when you think of antiques? Some fancy curly-qued French Louis XVI chair, I’ll bet. Or some delicate old thing. That’s not what I think of.

I must have chosen this topic when I was much younger, because now I’m not certain I have the energy to cover it. Before age 21-25, time crawls. You can never get old enough fast enough. If only you could be at this point (specifically, some point in the future) … Continue reading →
