birthday – Roscoe's Story

OMG! Where did my morning go? October 19, 2020
OMG! Where did my morning go? This is what happens when you take a really good mid-morning nap. You fix a good breakfast, see the wife off to work, sit back in the recliner to catch some favorite news broadcasts, and... you open your eyes to discover it's almost Noon already! There's not as much […]
Once an expensive frustration, now... October 18, 2020
Once an expensive frustration, now... —– a value, all things considered. So this weekend I bit the bullet and signed up for a subscription to Sirius XM Radio. Many years ago I had a SiriusXM subscription for several months. If memory serves me right, the service was more expensive then. And I didn't have the […]
A few of my favorite things October 17, 2020
A few of my favorite things Growing up a football player and fan in Northern Indiana, having the Notre Dame Fighting Irish as one of my favorite teams was only natural. And they still are. So I'm happy to be following their game against Louisville this afternoon. Then as a transplanted Texan I found it […]
The view from my recliner... October 17, 2020
The view from my recliner... ... late on Friday night as I listen to the Houston Cougars vs. BYU Cougars game playing through the TuneIn Radio App on my tablet. Earlier this even the app was buffering a lot when I listened to the SMU-Tulane Game, especially during the first half of play, but then […]

Monday morning:The day starts well. I was having an interesting dream when the first alarm went off, the eyes opened, the arm reached over to grab the phone, and my feet swung down to the floor. Oh yeah, I could have slept longer. But I'm confident a good enough nap will come my way after […]

Sunday morning:Got to sleep late last night, had an insomnia break that came late, then grabbed three more hours of sleep, and I guess I'm up for the day now. At least until a nap comes my way. The morning's health metrics and financials were all fine, I'm happy to say..Sunday evening: Today has been one […]

Saturday morning:Can't ask for a better sleep than that from which I woke on Saturday morning: two sleep segments broken by one short insomnia episode bringing me over eight hours of good restful sleep in total. The morning health metrics and financials were all good. And I have a day full of college football to […]
Friday 16/Oct/2020... listed and logged. October 17, 2020
Friday morning:It was a short night from which I woke, short through no fault of my own. I was awake at 02:45 at the end of a short insomnia break and returning to sleep when the noise across the street started. Apparently the guy across the street had been driven home from the bar and […]
Thursday 15/Oct/2020 October 16, 2020
Thursday morning: For some strange reason (maybe getting older has something to do with it) waking from good, long sleeps seems to take longer than it used to. Last night, for example, brought me a restful eight hours punctuated by a one-hour insomnia break. That's about the best I can hope for these days. And […]

Happy Birthday U.S. Navy!!

Happy 4th Birthday to Gab!

“The old are dangerous and I am 70.”

Today is my 70th birthday. How about that?!

Teddy Locsin Jr. says much in this recently posted tweet of his that relates to my present situation and attitude.

Why we must move house from time to time so we throw out the stuff in our lives; the final move to the last residence—a coffin—gets rid of everything including fear; by then nothing can be taken from you and it is you who is most to be feared. The old are dangerous and I am 70. https://t.co/33iO3NZnGO
