Hi, We’ve made a lot of progress, completed a few articles, and am working with my assistant Tess to finish my second Book of Books – but the blog is aloost defeating me. The changes in my voices’ pitch and volume throughout the day are simly too much for the dictation programs I’ve tried so …

Party!
After a slightly exhausting week, the much – postponed party finally straggled in to Reid and Connie’s country manse in Parker CO on Saturday. Not every one could make it (Smokey Paul and Lynne met us at a Santa Fe highway exit to hand over a pistol for Carlos — we still live in a …
I’ll be back!
The Blog Party will be at Reid’s in Parker, CO, east of Denver, the weekend of June 11. Regular blogging will then resume. I couldn’t have quit if I wanted to with all the response! Health continues iffy: PD under control at the moment, but apparently a bad case of spinal stenosis is next on …
Sixty- Three
… posts til #4000. On June 5, 2005, I wrote the first, rather casually, never dreaming that a blog would become part of my writing life… Several books, a step- grandson, Parkinson’s, many friends gone… Selling some guns I should not have (well I do that every WEEK)… I need without question to write a …
He’s Baaack!
I was goingt to wait until after New Year’s Day, but I more or less have things in order, as much as is possible with the built- in chaos generators in my life. I have decided that the blog, while it doesn’t exactly bring in cash (and there must be some way to do a …

Links, Big Birds, and all the news that fits…
When you have been dealing with meds and other unavoidable and annoying facts of aging, everything piles up. You don’t think Lucas Machias or Lane B stops mailing or that Annie D doesn’t send me a mix of the surreal and the biological, or JP stops writing his serious essays, do you? The world goes …
Anniversary!
Matt who keeps better track than I do tells me this is our NINTH anniversary. Hard to believe… but there have been 3583 posts! Maybe I can convince him to write something about this subject…
People are mailing…
Asking what I am doing. WORKING– or at least gunning the engine to get out of the rut. I said I wouldn’t blog, but I keep putting in material? That one is easy. I am not writing new material, but it doesn’t take much energy to post good photos or quotes. So early in the …
In and Out
I am sorry for spotty posting– heat, drought, stress, work, waiting (on money, on decisions), business, relatives (good- more on that coming), a dead car, the damned Post Office, Libby’s knee, sleeplessness engendered by all above, “Parkiness” generated by sleeplessness, visitors; even pigeons (removing 40- some ferals who have invaded during our dry spring); all …
