Bio
My wife of 47+ years died at home with me at her side, on November 12, 2010. She and I, together with our children and many friends and relatives, fought her cancer for four years, seven months and a week. This blog acknowledges her courage and exemplary life. She taught us how to live, and she taught us how to die. The blog also honors the love she shared with everyone who knew her.I am a retired school counselor and college professor.

Mighty good lookin' man...
Great pic and happy (belated) Easter...
Thanks for all your kind comments, each of you. It's really kind of arrogant to just post a picture like that, but I thought "what the hell, they're my friends, they'll understand." I was right.
Bow my head to you for posting your picture. I see a man ready for bear but a baby bear first. Rated with a Jali smile and a hug of course. :-)
Smart choice, Gwennie ;-)
I followed Kim Gamble. This photo caused me to (no cuss `gin ~ but I make up new curse words all the time) Smile.

Kim Gamble wears a bow tie that flops in stone soup. Mrs. Bliss makes homemade Stone Soup for snowy April days.

Kim Gamble's ;Shrink' wonder why he No wear shoes.
He likes to show-off his feet that resemble a peacocks.
Kim's fellow author/illustrators wonder why he smell.
?
Maybe it's because Kim Gamble try to turn OS knob.
Door knobs have a fishy anchovy odor. Call sheriff?
Kerry Laurman needs to wear one polka dot tutu.

He glares at Kim Gamble's Ugly Feet and smiles.
If a editor smiles so sweet as You? Call mortician.
The mortician may stick a red radish` You know?
`
In the old days the farmer grew radishes for plugs.
Then at the coffin viewing the smell No be too gross.
I sweat I don't premeditate these Vents/Rants. Pew!
Pew mean to sit.
editor sit on onion.
he's so intolerant.
`
P.S.
You Smile Great.
You Distinguished.
Teach Uprightness.
That be a great idea.
`
Hello, John. Nice to see you.
Hello, John. Nice to see you.
A James loco.

Jali, with friends like this I am able to bear up quite well. Kim, you came by twice, who's an echo now? I agree about Art, I am so honored to hear from him in spite of him be kind of crazy. Nat not P is new here, I welcome her.
