Ola! It’s hard to believe that 2010 is half over already. Oy.
I’ve had several people write and ask if I’m still updating my blog because the most recent entry here is from early June. I’ve been updating my “other” blog on a regular basis so anyone interested in what has been going on is invited to head over there to check it out. (Here’s the link)
I started the new blog after Wordpress was hacked a few times and my confidence that it wouldn’t be seriously injured again was not high. That’s the one I use most often these days…

I’m in a writing mood lately, and posted a couple of entries over the weekend:
It reminds me of the early days of my transition when there weren’t blogs but I had a couple of “pen pals” to whom I wrote exhaustively about all the stuff that was going on and how I was feeling and what I was thinking. It’s critical to find outlets – and apparently my blog is mine right now….
The good news is that this WordPress platform hasn’t been hacked in a few weeks now. I hope I’m not jinxing things by saying that, but being able to have a “backup” on Blogger has been working well, I think, so for now I’ll keep it up.

Tonight’s blog entry is up an available (read it here).
I wish I could find a video or an audio clip for the quote I use from Die Hard. It’s a really good passage…..

Since Monday was a Holiday this feels like a short week. I’ve put a couple of blog posts up in the last few days:
I took a day off from working out today. I’m looking for a job. I met Maria for lunch. And I took a nap. There was, of course, other stuff, but somehow all this stuff filled the day. And, I’m getting ready for bed again….

I’ve put a couple of posts up on Blogger in the past couple of days:
One of my favorite old movies is on AMC tonight – The Outlaw Josie Wales. I’ve seen it well over a dozen times but every time I watch it again I ask myself why they don’t make movies like this any more.
I need to get to bed. I know how the movie ends.

Yesterday’s entry, titled “Impossible”, is online (read it here).
Sometimes, it feels like we accomplish the impossible while at the same time things that should be so simple feel impossible. It’s one of those odd realities of life.
I’m also beginning to edit my website. It has been a long time since I’ve spent much time there so it’s time to “prune”.

Yesterday’s entry is online. (Read it here).
There seem to be so many ways to spend time when you’re not “busy”. Some friends watch lots of TV. Others are into gaming. Still others seem have more of an online network than a real-life network of friends. I have other friends who always seem to be reading. I’m not quite sure where I fall in all of that – it seems that I’m traveling or writing when I’ve got “down” time.
One thing I will be doing over the next week is making significants to my website. It has been neglected for far too long and so much has changed so that will become a focus while I’m working on other things. I’m still needing a little bit of “down” time, so that seems like a productive way to spend it.

I’ve published today’s missive on Blogger (read it here).
It’s a celebration of the ability to feel. Specifically – it’s about emotion.

Jaw still half numb, and swollen but not nearly as bad. The good news is that it doesn’t hurt and every day seems a little better.
As anyone who has had surgery knows part of getting “better” is having your system recover from all the meds and anesthesia. That can take a week or more, and I’m happy to say I think I’ve finally flushed most of it. It’s not fun.

It’s full of Rush music – I’m watching a Rush concert on Palladia as I type this – so if you’re a fan like I am you’ll enjoy it.

My latest post is up on Blogger (read it here).
The high here in Phoenix today was 98 – actually, very comfortable. Highs all week long look to be in the 90’s but once we hit 100 it’ll be a long summer. Everyone has been talking about what a pleasant spring this has been. I haven’t been here all that much but from what I’ve seen I’d have to agree.
My mouth and chin still feel “funky” but at least they don’t hurt. Last night was the closest I can remember to passing out – thankfully I was in bed at the time. All the travel and energy expenditure over the past several days finally caught up with me, I guess. I had dinner at a friend’s house and got home, started getting ready for bed, and the next thing I remember was waking up this morning. My reading glasses are bent all up but otherwise it was actually a wonderful and much needed night’s sleep.
Tonight’s music video is by U2 but it won’t allow me to embed it so you’ll need to go to YouTube to watch it . I’ve featured it before but it’s a special song worthy of multiple recognitions – Here it is.
Speaking of sleep – that’s where I’m headed now. G’night.
