Written by Back from the eye doctor. I’ve never, in all my life, had my eyes examined. Interesting experience, that I’m not sure I want to go through again. It wasn’t as invasive as the prostate exam I had a few weeks ago (that’s a subject best not discussed in polite company, so I won’t. I assume [...]

The eyes are not getting any better….
One of the benefits of the second job I have is insurance coverage. That’s a biggie. In the past I’ve looked into policies for myself, as a small business owner, and found the premiums to be outrageously expensive. Expensive enough that I didn’t sign up. So, now that I DO have insurance, I’m taking advantage [...]

*BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!* The alarm goes off. Shit. It’s 3:45 A.M. It feels like I went to bed only 20 minutes ago. I usually go to bed around 7:30 in the evening. 8:00 at the latest. I have to, in order to get up at 3:45. I fall out of bed [...]

Since I’m now working two full-time jobs, there’s little time for the fun things in life. Like Diversity Weekends in Eureka Springs. (Poor Yip. Poor, poor Yip.) Oh, I still have fun in my own way. I just don’t get to travel for fun. I’m either at my printing company, or doing shift work at [...]

The cookbook publishing business hasn’t been real lucrative lately, so I decided to get a real job. While I could sit around the office and play on the Internet all day, my creditors have this pesky attitude that I should actually PAY my bills. Not only that, but I have a jones to deal with. [...]

Sometimes on my way home from work I see a young man walking. I would guess him to be somewhere around 19 or 20 years old. He always walks very fast, like he’s exercising. He’s painfully skinny and quite feminine acting. He has a definite swish in his hips, his hands are always bent up [...]

There’s a tavern a few blocks from my office that has a live band every Wednesday night. The girl singer is really, REALLY good. On those rare occasions when I have a few extra bucks in my pocket, I like to go listen to her. A couple of weeks ago I was in the mood [...]

I’ve seen a lot of talk on local bulletin boards about the new bridge just outside of town on highway 62. I don’t live in Eureka (yet), don’t pay taxes there (except for the rare times I’m able to visit), and know absolutely nothing about the Arkansas highway department (but if it’s anything like the [...]

It’s right after Thanksgiving, a few weeks to Christmas and Hanukkah. This is the typical time of year when people gain weight. I know, people gain weight at all times of the year, but the end-of-year holiday season is when those few extra pounds show up – all by themselves – totally unannounced and uninvited [...]

Pat Robertson, along with some other folks, has declared that Interstate Highway 35 is to be the salvation of America from the dreaded homa seckshuls. It’s Biblical, they say, citing Isaiah 35:8 recently on The 700 Club: “And a highway will be there, it will be called the way of holiness.” They’re serious about this. [...]
