• I’m in a doctor’s office.

    Seven senior citizens, three middling adults and one child. We’re like a microcosm of our community. Is it any wonder Florida spends less per capita on education than almost any other state? Is it just me, or does everyone stop caring about the needs of the overall community once their children are grown? Is it just a Florida thing? Since we don’t have an income tax, are we just attracting everyone in the country who doesn’t like to pay for things? There are days when I feel like I’ll stay here forever. There are other days I’d like to be just about anywhere else. Sometimes it doesn’t seem like it matters what I think. It seems like I believe in one set of things, and everyone else around me believes in something else. Am I right? Is everyone else is wrong? Am I as open to contrarian ideas as I would like to be? Will I ever feel more like I belong here?

  • One of these days I’ll have to go back to work.

    I’ve been away for only three days now, but it has been great. Tomorrow I’ll go back, but only for two days, then were off to Sanibel and more relaxation. Yes!

  • Life is good.

    My life is by no means perfect. At times my wants and desires lie far beyond my means. I think the secret is believing what you have is more than enough, embracing the good things in your life, muddling through the so-so, and doing your best to overcome the bad. I doesn’t hurt when there is not so much of the bad to overcome.
