These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations.
Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here, I release those constraints and set the artist free.
Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.
I totally agree with you! Winter I tend to stay up late and read. The summer grabs me! I love the garden and the night-time fires. I tend to wake up earlier in the summer. I guess want the early mornings and watch the birds in the feeder. Have my coffee, and watch the sun rise. These are the moments I truly treasure.
We do need less sleep as we get older. The afternoon naps on those days with blizzards, or the scorching heat is fine by me.
Enjoy!

I was always told that we need less sleep when we get older. Now that I am exactly that, I can testify that it's at least partially true. I reckon I get about six hours of sleep a night, whereas I know we're supposed to need eight.
What is really different is that the young, whether they need lots of sleep or not, can exist for a time on very little sleep at all. There comes a day when they pay for burning the candle at both ends, but we oldies have faded long before we get to the same stage.
The one area where oldies beat the youth is in timing the hour of awaking. Generally speaking, we get up ridiculously early in the morning. For many years now, I have been up and about by 5:00 am.
But I'll admit I don't usually watch the dawn. Too deeply involved in the computer by then.
I didn't realize you were a ponytail guy. Hope you're able to get a new one. As a life long beautician, I can tell you average hair growth is a half inch a month. Good luck.
It's great the 'old you' is making a 'comb-back'. My wife didn't have to deal with the fuzz, as her hair stayed put during and after her chemo; different cancer, different drugs and different person, I guess.
I admit I find it strangely fascinating to read about people's different hair experiences with chemo. In my mom's case, she somehow kept all her hair even after multiple rounds of chemo. Everyone was surprised by this outcome.

Enjoy yourself TJ, you both deserve it. Enjoy the shopping spree! I would love to go on a hike, unfortunately my other half doesn't have the same idea. My big thing for today will be making dinner. The main course will be BBQ Ribs. Cole Slaw, maybe Brocolli. We'll see how it goes. No BBQ sauce until they are done. She would prefer traditional BBQ, like Sweet Baby Rays. I have some New Mexico BBQ sauce, I'm just not sure if it's Red Chile, or Green. I guess I'll find out.
