Random Road Ramblings
Today I tried to answer two intriguing emails from friends. Both men are…after unplanned layoffs….working, although in Mitch’s case he is nearing retirement and in Raoul’s case he is not yet 30. I consider both guys good friends. Otherwise I suspect Mitch and Raoul don’t have much in common, except that they both admit to [...]
This summer we have been in a larger-than-normal number of pet hospitals, which begs the question, “Is there a normal number?”. Irene and I think that, if you have multiple animals, (we had four at the beginning of the summer), you will be in a veterinary hospital at least once a year. Keeping in mind [...]
Compared to these guys, I have no work ethic at all.
In fact, I’m sitting pretty today, typing away in an amazingly tasteful and even more comfortable customer lounge, (and, hey, you wanna look? Check it ooouuutttt….), Irene and I just waiting (and OH how we love waiting!) for six things to simultaneously get done on [...]

There’s life, there’s death and, hopefully, in between, there’s a bit of renewal. And there are parallels, it seems, between updating a no-long-spanking-new motor home and revitalizing an ever-so-slightly-aging body.
Forgive me if I’ve said this before…seems I may have, but with my geezer memory I can’t swear to it….but in the RV World updating RVs [...]
I suppose like most people, there are times when I wish I was somebody else. Maybe more often than with most people ‘cuz with me I can add in the depths-of-depression times…”God, I wish I was anybody else!” But those are not the times I’m talking about here; here I mean those times when I [...]
In the overall frame of things, life is comprised mainly of small things strung together without a lot of coherence…or so it seems to me. Those fundamentalist friends of mine that believe in predetermined destinies and so on tend to overlook the power of Free Will, but then again the Catholics, of whom I count [...]
My apologies to whomever wrote the above-mentioned book; I’m stealing title only, not content, as we were neither near a Rascal Faire, whatever that might be, nor dancing. However, we were at a town fair, at Vernon, which is maybe 7 miles out of Red Bay, primarily because a guy came into the customer lounge [...]
We are in Red Bay, Alabama, visiting the Tiffin Motor Home factory in hopes of having some needed work completed on our coach. We have an appointment (for today) but we’ve already been told our appointment is “actually for ’some time on the 14th’ “, as opposed to oh-dark-thirty, so I am instead updating you [...]
Today Spyro had us up at 4 AM with diarrhea and vomiting, prompting even more anxiety given Rocky’s recent troubles. When Spy then stopped eating entirely, an absolute first for a dog that will eat week-old lettuce with gusto, we rushed him to the vet. He was there by 7:30 AM and he was on [...]
I guess anyone would wonder if the connection is still there. I mean, we hadn’t seen Walter and Robin in nearly 30 years. And, although Walt and I were best friends in high school, and stayed in touch for years after that, once we did drift apart…well, I wondered if the vibe was still there. [...]
