Fedora 13: Rock It!
===========================================Benjamin Franklin
They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.Henry David Thoreau
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler. A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.

Happy Birthday, Ericka!
My eldest granddaughter turns 18 on Feb 29th. There not being a Feb 29 this year, we observe her b-day near the end of the month. This is no longer the little girl I took for her first ride on … Continue reading
Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful Moms who drop by here. I’d love to be able to call my mother; MLB called hers before I got up this morning. MLB was a little subdued; her mother’s mental condition is … Continue reading
I Didn’t Realize I Should be so Thankful
MLB continues to mend from her recent surgery/hospitalization. The incision wound no longer requires its twice-daily irrigation and dressing change; a Band-Aid handles it. MLB changes that. My major-league nursing duties are now no longer required. I’m glad for that, … Continue reading
Weddings and Hydraulic Jacks
I have 16 first cousins on the maternal side of my family; they all live in Kansas. I have no idea how many second cousins I have1. I’d probably know my second cousins better, or at least be able to … Continue reading
Miz Nancy Drives Herself
MLB can drive again. She’s made one excursion in her Saturn. She’s making another tomorrow. Unfortunately, that trip will be to refill her pain pill prescription. The pain is not severe, but of enough frequency that she needs something with … Continue reading

Driving Miz Nancy
I took MLB to her doctor’s appointment yesterday. She’s doing well; the surgical staples are all removed, the wound continues to heal, and I’m less tasked, caregiving-wise. I still need to wash her back, since she still can’t reach around … Continue reading
Beauty Time
MLB has had her breakfast, morning medications, her bath, and I’ve changed the dressing on the wound. We’re now taking her for a manicure and pedicure. Lest the above make her sound too helpless, she prepares her own breakfast; she … Continue reading
Finally, Monday
MLB arrived back at tbbs WorldHQ around 4:30 PM today. I just got back from filling 6 prescriptions, doing a little grocery shopping, and buying some rubber gloves and packing sponges for wound maintenance detail. She’s sore, tired, and uncomfortable. … Continue reading
Chalks
The MLK Day racing card at Oaklawn was a reasonably easy one as far as ticket cashing was concerned. I cashed 3 wins and an exacta in the first 8 races. Problem was, favorites dominated the day, so payoffs were … Continue reading
