My father died when I was 10. There was always a smell that I associated with my memories of him. Now I know what it was; Bay Rum. I ordered a bottle of old fashioned bay rum aftershave and it arrived tonight. As soon as I splashed some on I was slammed with memories of my father. It was exactly the same scent that he wore. I already love this stuff. It has a heady, spicy, masculine scent that pales the sissy stuff they try to pass off as male scents these days. There is no mistaking this ...

I was pretty disappointed that the package I was waiting for didn't arrive today. I really expected it today. But the mail ran and no package. I received a call from my mother a little while ago. It seems that the package was there. I guess the postman forgot to leave it on the normal mail run and at some point after they had collected the mail he had come back to leave the box. I went right down to get it. Upon opening the box I found all of the items I had ordered. There were five packs ...

Orginally I was supposed to leave back out on the road today. I had a conversation with my dispatcher and he had three truck bodies that need to be picked up in Orlando today, and two in Lakeland (10 miles from me) on Monday. There were two of our drivers down here and he wanted to have them pick up the Orlando loads so neither of them would have to sit over the weekend. He asked me if I minded sitting at home until Monday to get the two in Lakeland. Oh gee, let me see. I can sit at home a...

Ok, not as dramatic as snow, but it's really coming down.

Socrates is going to the vet this morning for his rabies shot and first booster. As my usual ride is tied up It will also be Socrates' first ride on my bike. That should be interesting. I'm sure he won't be a happy camper later on today.

Socrates is in one of those moods. He's in total insane play mode. He knows that I don't accept him biting me, even playing. He's been running around playing with his little orange dinosaur. He carried it up on the couch and has been flipping around all the the place fighting with it. Well, at one point he got a tad carried away and in the heat of battle he reached over and bit me on the arm while I was typing on the keyboard. It wasn't a gentle bite. It smarted. I was so surprised by i...

I just got off the phone with my mother. She sounds much better and said she's feeling a good deal better. They may let her come home tomorrow. I haven't been able to visit her in the hospital as they don't want her to have exposure to any possible infections right now. Her husband is the only one allowed to see her and he has to scrub first. Her immune system is weak since she had chemo and she has some sort of infection which is what make her ill. They've been pumping antibiotics into he...

This morning I rode my bike to the Post Office in order to purchase and mail a money order to a gentleman in New York from whom I am purchasing two old Gillette razors. One is a 1957 Super Speed, and the other is a 1960 Fat Boy adjustable. It seems that the Post Office has changed their service desk hours and now don't open until 10:30. Geez, even better than banker's hours. Since I had about 30 minutes to kill I decided to peruse one of our local antique shops about a block away. Inside I...

When my local news went off the Regis show came on. I was about to change the channel when I heard them mention blogs. Hmm, ok I'll leave it for a moment. It seems that they are making some changed to their show and one of those changes is that the stars of the show are going to be blogging. I'm not sure yet how I feel about this. I'm going to have to let the idea soak in for a while. It does strike me a bit odd that they would want to make blogging a part of their silly little television ...

Oh joy. I awoke this morning to find the somewhat painful start of a cold sore on my lower lip. I've suffered from these things most of my life. While they are hardly debilitating or even mildly serious they are annoying as hell. I've tried a number of different remedies over the years to try and speed up their healing and minimize the eruption, but in all honesty none of them really work. I know that there are some prescription drugs used to treat the Herpes virus that causes cold sore...
