I have been online since June 1994. That is longer than most. I’ve had a few sites along the way. Blogged before blogging was a thing. Started with notepad and a keyboard <html> </html> and everything in between.
And so here I am attempting to gather all the bits of my digital history into one browsable location. After that? Maybe my family tree and history, stories, pictures. Who knows how far I might go.
Now I’m currently 53. And I like to ramble, always have. This gives me my own little corner of the web upon which to write about the most mundane of things.
I view it as an electronic diary that I’m chosing to share bits of with the world.
The oldest post I identified as yet is January 2002, though there are a couple “about us” pages I was able to date back into 2001 (Thanks Internet Archive!)
Wander around – reach out to me via the social media links if you don’t have my phone or email. Thanks for visiting.

October 29, 2022 – The Word Hospice Carries a Lot of Baggage.
Because hospice comes with so much baggage I struggled with how to discuss it with M. Then I was lucky in that Dr. M had the new doctor in the clinic suggest it. I’m pretty sure Dr. M was motivated by never wanting to have to deal with M again, but however we got here,…

September 29, 2022 – Amazingly, We’re Still Out Here
Just in case there’s a single soul out there wondering – M is still plodding along! Amost six an a half years. He didn’t have his last CT scan that was supposed to happen in October 2021. Dr. M retired before it was supposed to happen. Then, the doctor’s office screwed up the insurance authorization.…

March 14, 2021 – Just Out Here, in Isolation
Next Saturday, Shot #2 The Saturday after that? Lowe’s, in a mask. M has been a model in lockdown. Then, during the week after that he has a CT scan & Dr K. We’re almost at five full years!
