I'm quite happy with this pic.
It took me awhile to figure out how to do this with Photoshop.


Sarah had her first Chorus Concert tonight.
It was a nice time except for siitting on bleachers.
The 6th, 7th, and 8th grades sang a few songs each and
then they all got together and did The Lion Sleeps Tonight.

I had a very good day today !
I flew kites while I was doing laundry and then I went for a hike with my brother/.
To top off the evening I went out for a few drinks with friends for a birthday.

Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know
See how it feels in the end
May Lady Lullaby sing plainly for you
Soft, strong, sweet and true

Doing some work on cleaning tonight. I've almost got the upperhand.
Hoping for nice weather this weekend. T-Storms and warm temps are predicted.


I thought I was going to write about Mom but I can't seem to put thoughts into words.

Life is good. Death is weird.

Drove to Milwaukee on a wildgoose chase after work today. It was a nice cruise and the music was good.
Had a nice cup of coffee for the ride.

Cooking a pizza for dinner. Gonna go down to the brewpub for a couple of pints.

Seen better days...

I wonder how this happens to a house
What happened that caused something that big to get ignored.
It looks like a really nice house. There's nice trim work, interesting brickwork on the chimney, and a wood shingle roof taboot.

I had a very nice weekend.
The temps could be higher but...

Do you ever get overwhelmed by the human experience ?
Sometimes I think about everything at once and I find myself slightly dazed.
I was driving in the country Saturday afternoon and it hit me. It's like all the thoughts and actions of the human race hit you at once.
Think of right NOW ! and all that happens in this moment.
It makes your own little corner seem not as bad or seem like Heaven on Earth depending on your current view.

I miss my sandals. Rather cool outside.
The natural progression of the seasons continue. There's no way of stopping it.
I bought corduroy pants today and a corduroy shirt. It's gonna get worse before it gets better...

Tivoli Island. It's a nice place here in town where you can pretend you aren't in town anymore.

The picture is from Paradise Springs winter 2003/2004.



Winter time is coming.
I wonder what it brings ?
Usually everything dies and come February I'm ready to snap.

Work went well today till we ran out of parts.
Tomorrow I must go to Jefferson to oversee a reboxing mission. I hope all goes well and is as laidback as I need it to be.

I'm baking a bulb of garlic in the oven. This is the first time I've done this and it smells soooooo good
Eating some Brownberry Oatmeal bread for a snack. Sometimes I'm amazed at the goodness of things.

From Penny's front yard 10/10/04 5:55pm.
Hi Penny :-) It was nice seeing you !


No parts today at work.
Took 1/2 a day off to work on getting divorced and reaffirming my belief that it is a wise choice.
Feeling alright this evening. I was kinda tense at work but that has since passed.
Looks like pizza for dinner. I haven't made it to the store for shopping yet...
Lotsa stuff frozen solid in the freezer, nothing to eat.

Drove down to the spring and filled my carboys.
I was going to do it yesterday but I hung out at Penny & Randy's till dark and I didn't want to hang out by a watering hole on the edge of the woods and be a prime target for coyotes and other varmits.
Now I need to make it to Madison for a couple of beer kits.

The bedroom is coming along nicely. I have regained control of the closet and a large portion of the floor is visible and recently vacuumed.

Had a nice cruise on Saturday morning. Radio playing some good ol' Grateful Dead, top speed 40 mph wandering the back country roads. 3 hours of relaxation.

Pizza's done. Mushrooms and Canadian bacon.

I found a nice ironing board on the curb in Beaver Dam. I almost bought one the other day...I'm glad I waited.

Monday morning... This is a shot from Lowell, WI. I'm standing on the dam.

It's a rainy Friday. Woke up feeling less tense...see how the day goes.

I need to get out and take some photos.
Been over stressed lately for one reason or another.

Sitting here in limbo, like a bird without a song

One of Grandpa's paintings.

Someone snapped this pic of me last night.
My camera made the rounds.


Had a great time last night. The happiest I've been in awhile.
Good friends, Good music.
A very full evening that drifted into the next day.

Winter gray and falling rain
We'll see summer come again
Darkness fall and seasons change
(Gonna happen every time)
Same old friends the wind and rain
(We'll see summer by and by)
Winter gray and falling rain
(Summers fade and roses die)
We'll see summer come again
(Like a song that's born to soar the sky)

This is one of my favorite flowers it grows at the bank down the street.


Today I feel better. I still feel not quite up to par but I'll make it.
Sarah and I are going out to look for a bike tonight. The right one is waiting for her to come along and buy it.
I signed up for a used pc at work. $63. I think with the purchase of it I now have a collection.

Made some headway on the bedroom this afternoon. Then I got stuck in a box of pictures...

I'll have to shut the windows tonight it was a rather chilly wake up this morning...
