The evenings linger

and the nights last forever

yet our lives so short…

Rather dull, rainy day. got up rather late, though not so late as yesterday, and kinda mostly did nothing except read online stuff, including facebook. And I’m 17K posts behind on my email, heh. That’ll never get done… I want to look at everything before I trash it, and then I get interested in stuff and before you know it the sun is setting and I’m down maybe only 500 posts.

We had a pretty good rainstorm before I got up, and a really nice thunderstorm this evening. Should clear up tomorrow, though.

I slept wrong last night and got a crick in my neck and right shoulder… Jean worked on it some for me, and I got the heating pad out too… I’m hoping that when I wake up in the morning it’ll be gone… I think that I have some muscle relaxers around from my last back attack.

I talked with Joe’s Mom for quite a while today… don’t know why I was so reluctant about calling her, she’s a really nice lady. Next time Jean and I head in that direction I would like to go visit her. I was thinking about going to the funeral but getting that far out of Topeka after what I’ve been through in the last six weeks kinda scares me.

More flower pix from yesterday… I thought about taking some lightning pix but I didn’t want to get the camera wet… or get myself wet, either.

“Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burned, tortured, fined, and imprisoned, yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half of the world fools and the other half hypocrites.” – Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia

Thanx for being here… all these years!!!!

About Doug (nilky)

Retired very liberal atheist Radiologic Technologist in Topeka, KS. Looking for a less red place to live... but I love Kansas. I have a wonderful son who lives in the Houston area, and a son who I loved very much who died April 11 of this year 2011. I have a wonderful step-daughter, Kim, and three wonderful grandchildren that I seldom see, two of them are Kims' - Patrick, who will soon be starting technical school, and Lacee, who will be graduating from Topeka West and starting school at Kansas University. Karen wanted her to be a lawyer... I'm not sure what she wants, heh. My beautiful and highly intelligent (she picked me, after all!) fiancee, Jean, has three wonderful daughters, one in LA, one in ArKansas and one in Manhattan, Ks, and a very cute grandson. We enjoy every day that we get to spend together and we're very much in love. My first journal entry was on March 31, 1996 and I've had daily entries since then. That's 5478 entries, many of the later ones with pictures.
