Confusing?
Posted June 18, 2009 – 10:01 pm in: JournalComments I’ve received from readers indicate some confusion on the part of visitors to this blog. There has been some difficulty in recognizing the “true” stuff from the “fictional” stuff. Just remember to check the category of each post. The categories are shown in blue text above each post. As of this printing, there are [...]

Posted June 17, 2009 – 10:35 pm in: JournalYes, this is me. For those of you who have never seen me, you probably wouldn’t realize this is me unless you can somehow morph my writing into an image of me. If you can, this is what you will see. For those of you who have seen me, either in person or by way [...]

Posted June 16, 2009 – 8:29 pm in: JournalBroken ribs are often painful. The pain comes and goes, more often coming than going. Lying in the horizontal can be excruciating and is avoided.

Posted June 13, 2009 – 5:03 pm in: JournalI use images from time to time on my posts. I can insert photos I have taken or insert other images such as clip art or photos taken by others.

Posted June 11, 2009 – 10:06 pm in: JournalI twitter as bruwer. Announcements of new posts on this blog are automatically tweeted (if that’s the correct past tense of tweet – I hate to guess what the irregular version might be) but my manual tweets are few and far between. I am being followed by several people who don’t know me from Adam [...]

Posted June 9, 2009 – 7:50 am in: JournalVampires seem to be all the rage these days. They are everywhere. Books about vampires abound. People close to me read some of them two or three times.

Posted June 7, 2009 – 9:36 pm in: JournalI learned the hard way yesterday. The lesson I learned showed me the Truth. Pat, Tricia, Emma, and Jack came to Fort Wayne Saturday afternoon.

Posted June 6, 2009 – 2:01 pm in: JournalPat (our son) reported very late Thursday night that he had heard an explosion (“like a dynamite blast”) that brought him out of a sound sleep.
