It’s not just his voice but the tone, timing and inflection of each word that made his speeches so memorable.

Say it like I’ve spelled it out in his voice.

WE! (sort pause) shell NEVA! (rising in pitch and volume on the ah sound) sell, (short pause) thebluecar (as all one word).

I think I'll take a cruise soon. They seem to be a good deal out of Boise harbor.

The brochure reads: "See beautiful mountain vistas, roaming buffalo and elk, and fields of potatoes, all from the balcony of your spacious stateroom."

Funny to read this, I just got an ad for a river cruise that goes from Astoria, OR up the Columbia to the Snake and to Idaho.

Up near Stanwood WA. this weekend making kites and trading lies with all the other old kite ninnys.

The camp spotted me with an ex-endoscopy dept. labeled wheelchair to whiz around on rather than stump between classes on crutches all weekend. ... uhm wut?
It's very basic transportation and the bearings are mostly shot, but they won't let me drive the FR-S into the venue and teach from the drive in window.
Last class is Sunday morning then I can trade in the hooptie for my car.

Scored a few nice kites and related stuff in the raffles after meals.

Oh, yeah! The March Grand Sumo Championships are on for another week. It's in the middle of things and hotting up now.

Me? Hell, I'm OK. My body is just wearing out -

My eyesight is failing, so I went to an optometrist to see about getting some new glasses. They referred me to an ophthalmologist because they saw something weird in my eyes. The ophthalmologist referred me to a retina specialist. Shit - so much for getting my eyes checked - will it EVER end?

Meanwhile my cancer doctor/urologist wants me to have another round of bladder cancer treatments. Just to make sure. MAKE SURE OF WHAT?

All these medical people keep looking for something else wrong with me, I reckon they will keep finding it.

Maybe I'll just stop down on the reservation and get me a bucket full of gummies, sit back in my recliner, pop gummies and listen to old country western music -

So, how are you? How is your hand doing?

Oh man. Hang in there.

Me, I'm doing ok. I'm trying to lose weight with no luck. I spend 30 minutes on the bike or treadmill at the gym and get my heart rate up to 70, thanks to the hand full of heart meds I take every 12 hours.

The hand is as expected. I still have no feeling in that finger, and can't make a fist. I think it is taking a bit longer to bounce back from these surgeries the older I get.

Your hand is looking better -

The older you get, the longer it takes to getting used to masturbating with the other hand -
