I've been lucky at finding good books at the library lately. The first book I want to tell you about is not new, and anyone who is a fan of Robert Ludlum has probably already read it. I found it in . . .

Since I have been really retired, I don’t let insomnia bother me any more. If I wake up in the night and can’t get back to sleep, I get up and enjoy it either by watching TV, or by going on-line . . .

Are there any lovers of western books and movies left out there in the real world? Or is that something that went out of favor in the sixties like so many other things?
I'm sitting here at my computer . . .

A little prayer, a little extra effort, and I've got those blues on the run since yesterday. But the main reason for a cheer-up is because my daughter Jane worked her first day for a different . . .

I hit the jackpot at the post office yesterday. My meds finally arrived except for the heart medicine, and I got an e-mail that it has been shipped. And all seven books came that I had ordered from Amazon . . .

I can't decide what to do with today, or tomorrow either. Since I am sooo retired, I hate weekends. Even when we have a good number of horse campers here in this Indian reservation horse park, . . .

I've started four articles in the last week and haven't finished any of them. I think I'm in the doldrums of the sea of life, adrift in the horse latitudes so to speak. So I'll start again . . .

One nice thing about getting really old, is that I can't always remember if I have read a book or not when I check them out of the library. I used to keep a list of all the books I've read in . . .

Catching Up In Campo on a Windy Day
The wind has awakened me. At sundown it was cold, and getting colder by the minute, and I went to bed not long after 6 PM. I was busy all day and tired. Just . . .

Less available time on line since my move to a new place to live has resulted in more time reading and the new library available to me exceeds my expectations. They carry a good supply of large print . . .
