| EVEN SOME OF THE BIRDS WERE TOO POOPED TO FLY IN TODAY'S HUMIDITY |
Not even a breeze stirring earlier this morning. Not even enough moving air to remotely alter a lazy mosquito's menacing flight path. Not wanting any part of the humid stickiness Pheebs and I again skipped our walk and instead took a windows-down drive into and around Bayfield. After a few photos we were home again and of course the rest of the day was simply another repeat performance of too many other repeat performances.

Thanks to the folks who sent in their blog addys enabling me to reinstate them back on my new blogger's list. It was nice to hear from a few folks I hadn't heard from in years, and others I had never heard from before. That's always a welcome boost for me:))

Seeking a temporary change in direction from my last book Being Mortal by Atul Gawande I once again took to the skies for my next two books. Dead Men Flying, A Remembrance: by navy pilot Michael Mullane and Return To Saigon by navy pilot Larry Duthie. Both these young pilots flew off aircraft carriers in the same squadron, in the same war, at the same time, and in the same place. Riveting down-to-earth Vietnam remembrances and how it changed their lives for years to come.
GROANER'S CORNER:(( During his physical, the doctor asked the patient about his daily activity level. He described a typical day this way: 'Well, yesterday afternoon, I waded along the edge of a lake, drank eight beers, escaped from wild dogs in the heavy brush, jumped away from an aggressive rattlesnake, marched up and down several rocky hills, stood in a patch of poison ivy, crawled out of quicksand and took four leaks behind big trees.' Inspired by the story, the doctor said, 'You must be one hell of an outdoors man!' 'NAH,' he replied, 'I'm just a really rotten golfer.'--------------------------------
Life can be so confusing. It was only after purchasing a dolphin made of glass that I had any clarity of porpoise.

As a very long-time reader, I was glad to hear that you have been able to rebuild your blogger's list. So many changes over the last 15 years or so when I first started reading your blog and I learned so much from you. Glad to see that our blog made it to your list. Thanks, Al
ReplyDeletePlease give www.RubysWindingRoad.com a gander and please add it to your list if you think appropriate. I have read your site for years and now that me and the wife have retired we are following you lead. Thanks for your consideration.
ReplyDeleteI'm not writing in the Direction of Our Dreams any more since David's death. It was "our" blog. It was on your list as you are on mine.
ReplyDeleteI did eventually start blogging again and call it On My Own since that about sums it up. The link is

Not sure why it isn't showing as a link here. But it should work.
I'm currently in the North Carolina mountains keeping cool. Hate to hear about your heat and humidity keeping you and Phebes inside.
Well I should have looked first. And on my laptop not my phone where I could o lying see some of your amazingly long list. You've already got me. Glad to be among such good company.
DeleteI see I'm still on your blog list. It's been months since I've had an update. I'm hoping the White Lion can be fixed so I can head out again this winter. If not, I will be closing down my blog. Let you know.
