Hospitalization and Being Non-Mobile

By Kirk M | Published October 25, 2008

Drat! After spending my entire life being non-mobile (well at least as long as these portable things have been available that is), meaning no cell phone, no PDA, no Smartphone, no netbook–no nothing, I’m finally coming to the point where I’m beginning to regret it. I don’t even own a Trac Phone for heavens sake. And [...]

Well now, I had a pipe dream last night which annoyed my lady terribly since she just hates it when I smoke that dream pipe in bed. But more to the point, this dream de pipe of mine concerned myself, a year to travel and my choice of bloggers to visit. Then it would be [...]

By Kirk M | Published October 19, 2008

I don’t iGoogle
I’m boring…I admit it.

Barium me not…

By Kirk M | Published October 7, 2008

I’m off today (I’m off every day for that matter) to the local VA for a barium breakfast. I remember this now. I’ve done this three times before many years ago.

By Kirk M | Published October 5, 2008

With my lady over the mountain in St. Johnsbury attending the end of Vermont’s Fall Festival in her Long Meadow Farms Quilts guise, I’m spending the day watching her quilt shop.
