Today's Last KDD: How I spent my Friday and soon in two hours, the music will play,

Its Still Friday February 29, at 3;44,

And in less then 4 hours, we will open the Café doors.

For the last time, then, the café will be shut down

Yet, Darrell and I will still be here in town,

As we said last night,

You can visit our sites,

And see what is happening for us, on his blog and mine,

Or sendus e-mail or instant messaging online,

Both very well, we can type, lol

And can chat on skype

Those are options as well,

When, I am not working at the Hotel.

We may not be on interactive anymore, but, gone, we will not be,

If you all like, you can keep in touch with Darrell and me.

Our intent was to broadcast much longer, but for reasons mentioned, we
will not,

And, I can tell, the cold weather is gone, it's now getting hot,

Its now, 82 degrees and I am wishing for snow, well, at least 50 degrees,

And autumn leaves falling, a cool, crisp breeze

And even better, a cruise, I would love to go, be near the ocean with the
wind in my hair

And fun times with family or friends on a ship, I'd love to share.

We have the patio door open and both windows, getting a cross breeze,not
as hot, the room did cool,

at this rate, soon, we can swimin the pool.

Our friend Andrea and her Mom are going on a cruise tomorrow heading to
Mexico she is taking a vacation,

In the living room have on the 80's station.,

Speaking of electronics, I think our living room TV, cable box is broken
atech,may have to be sent out here,

And at Andrea's office, an hour ago,I was just there.

Most of my body, was out of alignment my right arm, back , hips and my
neck,

I wasn't even in a wreck,

Also my right knee,

Not sure, why, that is the case for me?

Typically, my arm needs to be adjusted because of the injury I had 12 years
ago, most of the adjustment explains why,

And I cannot believe how quickly time does fly.

Not only, had I that fall, over a decade ago,

But, as you do know

Tomorrow is March One,

Already, two months of the New Year are over, finished, done.

In addition to all that two years ago, I began writing journal entry's ,in
this style,

Now, I have a permanent log, to keep on file.

I will create a special dose tomorrow and write about that , sometime
during the day

I am sure, about the KDD revolution, I will have something to say? Lol

Who would have thought, that after posting a Dose just a couple hours ago,
to my site,

That, I would find more to write?

Made a stop on the way home, to the UPS store

Arrived back home before 4

Sent a package out to a friend, from Darrell,not me,

And the UPS Guy, told us, only one more month, there, he will be.

Here in our City, they are putting in the light rail, many are upset and
think will cause more traffic problems then its worth

And last Friday, the 22 nd, was the day of my Birth.

Some say, there will be too much congestion, difficult to get around,

And according to Jeff, the UPS Guy, Condominium's will be found,

Right now, some of the business's are are already closed the rest will be
demolished

And the mini deep dish Pizza bites we got tonight, will be eaten and
polished

They we will digest,

And don't know, if doing this, will be best?

Destroying buildings that have been there for years??? At this point, don't
know if that will be a good thing

And Post 373, to you all I do bring

Its now, 4;23,

And soon, on the air, will be Darrell and me,

And maybe Dougie too?

Would love to hear from you,

So, send I.M's on the air,

Request songs, or your thoughts share,

And hope you enjoy this leap year Day,

And Happy Birthday Yesterday Bob and Todd and Mew Kitty Today.

Take good care have a great weekend,

So long friend.

Today's KDD: Celebrating with close Friends and saying Farewell to ACB R I

Its Monday February 25, at 6; 58,

Hope your well? doing great?

It has been almost a week since I have written a post,

And today, I received a package from my Mom, from the East Coast.

Actually, I would have gotten it on Friday,

Yet, Darrell and I were away

She was sending me a Birthday gift, as to what is I don't know yet,

Darrell wants me to wait, he is on the phone, on the net

Chatting on skype,

While I sit here and type.

I am taking a break from doing some housework; dishes had to be done,

And our weekend, it was fun.

We went down to Tucson to visit our close friends Jeff and Keri only have
known them 3 years,

We hung out great conversation and good food, had coffee and cokes, not
beers.

Friday morning, we took the Arizona Shuttle, not greyhound or a train,

It's about the same distance from Boston to Maine,

Much traffic there was, got there around 11 o'clock,

Did listen to some rock,

Also,I did some reading on the Bookport,

The shuttle leaves from the Airport,

And drops off us at the Wild Cat's convenient store, near the U of A,

Did not do much, again, had to gather the music to play.

Friday night, we did our show on ACB R I,

And I finally began reading the Novel, "From the Corner of my Eye"

I think it will be good, most of Dean Koontz's books are but not the last
one I did read,

And Dinner, Darrell does need.

All the music for the show, I did compile,

And though, I was disappointed we may not do the show after all, they did,
they made me smile,

And Darrell had copied them to his thumb drive,

But had forgotten it, so, we weren't sure, if we would be able to do the
show live.

However, he had the e-mail sent from me, with all the songs, I wanted him
to play,

And during the show, they all celebrated my Birthday.

They sung me Happy Birthday on and off the air,

And as we exchanged our Christmas gifts, we described some of them on the
air.

Since, Keri had foot surgery in December, Christmas we did not celebrate,

So, exchanging of presents, we did wait,

Until now, until this past weekend,

And they are two of our best friends.

We gave Jeff, two, mini remotes for his key chain,

So, when, no one is home, and he can't find the TV remote, he will not go
crazy,insane,

Will get frustrated and feel like he lost his mind,

He won't have to worry, he will find,

And be able to use,

And the other item for him, we did choose,

Was a talking Radio alarm clock

It was nothing inaccessible or any kind of stock,

Or a program of finance,

It was to enhance,

And improve his sleeping experience and have a clock he can read without
sight

And Keri also received two things that night.

She, we gave a sowing tool kit,

It was a hit,

It has many tools, in a nice little case,

I know, those supplies will not go to waste,

It is portable; she can mend, when waiting in between errands and doctor's
appointments

Fast the visit went.

Keri also got an electric frying pan, space and energy it will save; she
can even bake in it,

It was definitely a hit,

Love giving gifts, things that are practical, but ones that I know, the
person will appreciate

And will use each week or every day,

And good music, we also did play.

WE received some very cool stuff too,

Special soaps and assorted coffees for a coffee pot to brew

Very cute singing frogs and snowman, they made me smile,

Opening all the gifts took us all a while,

Also gave us Oven mitts we lost in the fire, it was bad,

And last, for my Birthday, they gave me a electric king mattress pad

Have separate controls on each side of the bed,

And already 40 chapters of the book I have red.

They knew it would keep me warm at night,

And this KDD is taking awfully long to write

They all knew I would love it very much,

Warm, soft to the touch.

Saturday we just lounged around the house,

Keri and I, chatting about lots of stuff, some about, the 5 love languages,
of our spouse,

In the living room and Kitchen we sat,

Along with the kids, Brian, David, Dougie, Jascinda and Mew the cat,

While, Darrell and Jeff, in the computer room, in their cave,

Played on separate systems, Jeff busy switching platforms on his blog,
changes, he did save

And Darrell, checking e-mail , some they did chat,

chewing the fat,

And in that room, there, for hours,they both sat. lol

In the afternoon, us four went out, shopping we went,

And much money we spent

Groceries Keri got at Food city and left us, next door,

Us three, went to the At & T store.

Darrell and I wanted to check out the smart phones, specifically the Q-9,

We only had intended to "look" and then later, purchase on line,

Yet, it was the same price,

And it was accessible, and very nice,

So, two new cell phones we did buy, we were in there for at least an hour,

And it also came with a cute leather case, love the smell, more then
flowers,

And even perfume,

I sniffed the leather, and Darrell noticed, saying something, and so, then,
did everyone in the room.

We were going to go to subway for lunch but at home we ate,

Since by then, it was getting late.

A movie we had watched on Saturday night called Air Buddies sequels to Air
Bud,

One of the puppies was named Mud,

And butterball and Rose,

And sorry, no KDd for a week, I did not compose.

Its now, 10; 10, on February Twenty-nine,

Hope you all have had a good week? doing fine?

Yes, this Dose, I had begun on Monday night,

Told ya, it took long to write

Having difficulty creating this post,

And my gift from my folks from the East Coast,

I did open Monday night,

And will this KDd, be published today, on my site?

I received cute clothes, seems like summer stuff she did send

As well as some chocolate and laughing cow cheese, my favorite, nothing for
my four legged Friend

Though, Dougie always does think everything is for him he always wants
attention,

And I forgot to mention,

We were at Jeff and Keri's until Sunday night, until 6,

We just again, spent time together, had good food conversations and watched
old TV Programs, from the days, when us four were young,

And then, in the evening, to the Shuttle van, us, they did,brung ,

Us, they took,

And the entire time, I red more of the book,

Got home about 9 and work the next day, we had to go,

Worked for the last 4 days, quite busy, but, smoothly, for the most part
things did flow.

Actually, Tuesday, I was home sick that day,

And today, tonight, our last show we will play,

Yes, it will be our farewell show, on the air,

Hope timewith us , you will all share?

It is our last night on ACB R I,

We hate , that we have to say goodbye,

So long, Farewell!

That and many Songs from the Sound of music, I love well.

Seriously now much consideration we had made and with all the additional
changes on the station, it wil take much more time for each show to prepare,

Not leaving because, we don't care

I am actually, feeling saddened that the Desert Café doors will soon close

And this KDD, I will actually compose,

Soon, to my site.

I know, the decision to resign from interactive for us, is right

Is a good one

Much more we will be able to do, get done

Darrell can work more on accessibility and I can continue working for our
local Foundation,

Yet, some of that time, was devoted to the interactive station,

The foundation is a blindness agency, where I once, had found job leads for
unemployed blind, I want to see more folks hired

And today, I am feeling quite tired,

Was up late,about 2 a.m, reading,

And much more time on other things we are needing,,

We have other obligations and projects we would like to complete

And soon, here, we will all feel the heat

It will soon be over 100 one, can fry an egg on the sidewalk

And I am sure, our resigning from interactive is a shock?,

For some of you whom read this ?

All our listeners, we will miss.

We enjoyed presenting great music, but, that is not the half,

We had an opportunity to get to know you all some , through chat, and you
made us laugh

For the last year and a half.

We had our debut on August 4, 2006,

Played, songs from the 50's through today , a interesting mix

And we were on the air just about every week, first, early morning before,
we both were really awake,

Gave you tech news and your request, we did take

Then, sometime in the fall, we changed days and hours,

And you all even had a chance to hear me singing the shower

Not sure, for you if that was a good thing or not? lol

And we broadcasted during the winter, spring, and fall and when it was
bloody hot.

The café, adjusted its hours and opened its doors onMonday Afternoons,,

That worked out better for us, we worked all day, wide awake,not in a daze.
lol

Then, recently, again, we switched slots, our good friend Jeff ,much for
the same reasons resigned too

And here we are, we will see it all through

So, please, join us later today

in the Desert Café

From 2-5 UTC,

There, Darrell and I will be,

That is, Friday nights in the U S A,

I am sure, Darrell will have tech news and fun music we will play

Its now, 11 o'clock and I do have things to do,

And I am sure, so do you

This Doses pages 5,

And again, if you can, join us live

On ACB R I

Time forus to shut the doors, say our goodbyes,

So, gather your favorite beverages, munchies and sit in your cozy chair

And with us, time, do share,

For now, do take care. ,

Today's KDd: J-say and Recreation planning Games to play

Its, Tuesday February 19, at 7;05,

Not long home, I did arrive.

Today, I don't have much to write,

And at the moment, listening to Main Menu tonight,

Live with Representatives from T & T Consultancy,

And it was a busy day for me.

I had a very hectic day,

And one of the products discussed on Main Menu,is J-say,

And dragon and naturally speaking,

And soon after this, sleep, I am seeking.

Do you know about J-say?

And did you know, I speak in K Say? lol

Karen Speak,

And hope you all have had a good week?

Most of the week we are sold out , today, by 10 rooms, most arrived before
noon,

Right now on Main menu, discussing Itunes.

They are also mentioning jaws nine,

And hope your day is fine?

Spring Break The recreation team is planning,

And not many Guests are out tanning,

Out by the pool,

And the ideas, they are coming up with are very cool

Yet they, can't reveal, or I won't here today,

And all week, many Kids do play,

Many are keeping busy in Camp,

While, many packages are delivered at the ramp,

In the loading dock,

And when I saw the House Count today, I was shocked.

Many boxes and supplies being delivered all day

And I think, the kids have been working with crafts, don't think with clay.

Engineers have had many repairs to complete

And one pool, does not have heat,

Its now, almost 7;30,

And Today,Darrell did laundry that was dirty,

And work today, he did too,

And on days like this, don't think we will get through ,

But always do,

And so will you.

Recreation is planning games and contests,

And I need to get my rest.

In a few weeks, you will know, what recreation has planned for Spring Break
but now, will not mention,

And here, with us, is Nortel networks, here for a convention.

And I think, I am going to take a shower, alleviate the tension.

Today's Last KDd: What, would you the Reader like to see?

Just now, I went to the Blogger site,

To see how many posts I did write,

I now, have 368,

Isn't that great?

Actually, after this one is posted,it would be 369,

Wow, didnot realize I had so many, That is fine.

Most of those are KDd's but some are nethugs Messages, or Heartwarmers
that I posted hear,

And I began this blog, less then a year,

Only 10 months ago,

That, did you know?

It was in April, that this blog I began,

Most from here at home, from Our LAN,

I have enjoyed writing each one,

And the others, hope you felt more inspired, when the reading was done?

Hope you felt like you were not alone? And knew others could Identify?

And maybe, you enjoyed the posts of the fun times we had on ACB R I?

Or appreciate the things I wrote about working for Hyatt?

And did you miss, the days I did not write, the times I was quiet?

Or maybe, those times, you felt more Relief?

For some of you, you enjoyed the long ones, while others appreciated the
KDd's that were Brief? lol

Maybe some of you, enjoyed Reading about when I was a much younger
Hughes?

Or my perception of the day's News?

Maybe, you felt like too much I do philosophize?

Or can relate to the post I composed about Family Ties?

Or the times, I lost my sight, and could not see?

Or the ones on what I aspire to be?

Much I did write about, somewhere on this site,

About numerous of subjects: usually early in the morning or at night,

But not very often, when I wasn't feeling write,

not when I wasn't doing emotionally well,

Or when, I was under much stress at the Hotel.

What would you the reader, like me to write about? Tell me what topics are
of interest to you ,not just to me,

What else here, would you like to see??

Send comments my Way, and I will do my best to creat one,

To make it informative, humorous and fun,

Yet, some issues are no laughing matter and should be addressed as such,

Some of those topics, I did touch

Like death and dying or being unemployed or having a disability of some
kind,

Those types of things cross people's minds.

So, reveal your thoughts and I will do my best to write about it,

Yet, I cannot guarantee,it will bea a hit,

It could be a total flop,

But I will not stop,

I will continue to write,

And post KDd's to my site.

Thanks to you my Readers but especially to Darrell and Jeff, whom
inspired and motivated me,

For the rest of you, wouldn't see,

The KDD's,

and how my day is spent, how things are going,or my point of View,

and the things I would like to do,

or have done,

if,it weren't for those two, there would be none,

so I am grateful for them and this ability to compose

and this Hobby, I did chose

for me,it works best, you know?

And as I said earlier, I should go,

Have things to do,

This is true,

Have house work to do, already cleaned the Kitchen, have more, but, look I
am procrastinating that, is not a good thing,

So, I am going, this last message for the day, to you I bring. lol

Today's KDD: Memories of 72 and How I am spending today

Today is Sunday February 17,at 10;22,

How are things with you?

I am doing much better then yesterday,

And as usual, listening to the music, Kim does play.

My body doesn't ache as much as it did,

And the year Kim is featuring was 72, I was a kid,

I was 7 and 8,

And hope your weekend is going great.?

Not much I do recall from that year, my patterning program I did end,

And did you know, it cost 10 cents, for a letter to send?

And only a dollar for a Pink Floyd Concert?,

And that year, I was still a little squirt,

Had missing teeth and pigtails,

Do remember going to Maine, the beach, Played with sand and Pails

And to the Swim Club in Montvale,

It was a manmade lake,

And sometime that year, the swimming test I did take,

I could only doggie paddle but, I could finally swim

And I was good at Gym,

I could run and do the fifty yard dash,

And think, that year, began the show Mash?

Definitely, All in the Family and Mary Tyler More,

And do you want Trivia, more?

The average Salary was $9,600, and 36 cents for gas,

And we were living in New Jersey, 10 minutes from New York, not in Mass.

I Remember Richard Nixon was President,

But don't know, what one paid for Rent?,

I recall shag rugs and only one television set in each house,

And back then, did like to wear dresses, not skirts and a blouse. lol

We did not have remote controls, touchtone telephones, and microwaves,

But, I remember, playing in the waves,

In the summer in Maine,

And finally then, patterned correctly was my brain

It was then that a normal childhood I did lead

Swam, rode bikes, and did some, like to read,

Began listen to music, , like Simon and Garnfunckle and Bread,

But, of course, not the Grateful Dead. Lol

Also, Chicago and Jackson Brown,

And I was a Brownie, Mom was one of the Troop Leaders in town.

Its now, 11;08,

At this rate,

I will get nothing done today,

So, I better go, get on my way.

Yesterday, I was lazy because I was feeling like crap,

And nothing today, we have on Tap,

Just clean house, not sure what else, still not feeling well,

And I have along work week at the Hotel,

I am still not feeling my best,

So, will also rest,

Last night, we saw a movie," patch Adams Starring Robin Williams , a true
Story it was,

And better, go, do dishes, vacuum up the fuzz

Dougie Dog's fur, his hair,

And for now, you all take good care,

Not sure when, I will send a post next okay?

So, take it easy, Hang in there, you will get through each day.

Today's KDD: Farewell to the Friendly Skies and the 5 Languages of Love

Today is Friday, February 15 TH at 5; 26,

And I just finished gathering the mix,

The tracks we will play tonight

So, today, had no time to write,

Had to gather the tunes for the show,

And have been gone part of the afternoon, appointments we did go.

At 2, we went to take Dougie to the groomer,our friend Stacey, don't see
her much anymore,

Then went next door,

To get our bodies adjusted by our Chiropractor, Andréa, who is also a
friend,

This way, I have more mobility, and less pain, can use my arm, so it can
bend,

And I can do daily living tasks as well,

If, I did not get the treatment, could not work full-time at the Hotel.

Chiropractor's are not for everyone , and that is okay,

And in less then one hour, music we play,

At our new time,

And hope your all fine?

Some think they are Quacks, have heard many, give them flack,

But for us, ours is good, keeps our bodies aligned, out of whack.

She has a medical background and her program lasted about 8 years long,

And we think, you will like the songs,

We chose ??

And equally this KDd I have composed?

As I said, Dougie was at the next Suite, having his bath,

And those of you who know me, I am not good at Math

Sometimes, can't do something simple like subtract and add,

And a good day we, had.

While, Dougie was being groomed, we were apart,

And many of the tracks, are popular songs off the charts,

Dougie and I both have separation anxiety,

Yes, even me,

His Mommy , I am not myself, when he isn't near, its way too quiet,

And for 3 days, I don't have to think about Hyatt.

Monday morning ,is when they will all see me again that is great,

And Dougie is,, by my side, 24./7, more then Darrell, my mate,

I don't see him as much, as this cute golden Retriever,

And we have some good tracks, sorry, not " Dream Weaver". Lol

I know, it's pitiful, that I miss him, Dougie, while, he is away

And in exactly one hour, the first song, will play.

It will no longer be the Desert Skies , but the Desert Café,

Jeff, wish, you could stay,

And did not leave, but, know you had to go,

Yet, I know for Darrell and me , we will definitely miss your show

Certainly will not be the same

And all day, we have had rain,

It's cool and damp, and wet,

And though, things are not the same, we will have a good time , you can
bet,

We will make it fun and you will also have to use your thinking cap

And no worries, we will not play any rap

Maybe, a little Jazz? Definitely Rock,

And can't believe it's after 6 o'clock,

The weekend is definitely here, has begun,

The work week for most is done.

We had a good valentine's day, it was nice the time we had together,

And Darrell just commented, how this is good sleeping weather,

I have to agree,

Under the covers, right now, I'd like to be. Lol

Much more sleep I would like at this time,

Stayed up reading, but not online

Nor,not in Braille, but rather, in Audio Form,

We listened while shnug in bed, where it was warm

Listen on the Victor Stream ,listening through an externalspeaker , it
has a great sound,

Nearby , did lay, the Dougie Dog, the hound.

WE red a book titled the 5 languages of love, I would recommend it to all,
even if you're single too,

We read most of it, almost all the way through,

It is a self-help book that enlightens you to understand the emotional
love language you spoke as a child, It, I would read,

Take your time, don't speed

Because, you will want to examine the various types and how you
communicate in your life,

Not just with your husband and your wife,

But I think, it is excellent in any relationship,

Whether a Married couple, Family or a business partnership

A child or a friend,

The messages we do send,

Are not always understood or heard

The person, may not have heard a single word,

Emotionally , may have gone in one ear and out the other

It doesn't matter, whether it is our husband, Sister, Friend or your
mother

This Counselor's approach is a practical and a wonderful one,

He is into behavior Modification , has concrete solutions, you will
benefit from it when your done

Will likely have more of an appreciation for your mate,

And it's getting late

Thirty more minutes and we are on the air

But, if you care,

About people not just you're Spouse,

If you have a full house,

And you want Peace and order,

and harmony, then go to Borders,

Or Barnes and Noble, or buy it on Audible , only one credit, it's not a
waste very worthwhile,

You wil not only learn your love language Style,

But others you love and cherish very much

One of the 5is touch,,

The 5 are; Words of Affirmations Quality of time

These first two, think, these are mine,

The third is: Receiving Gifts,

For some, their spirits do lift,

Is raised,

They understand love, in these ways,

The fourth is acts of service: some feel appreciated by the things others
do,

And the last is touch, which one, is you?

Your primary one? Told you mine,

Think, I need Words of affirmation and some Quality of time,

I don't need attention, love to be alone, play online,

But, I really like people to take the " time

To listen when I talk,

I don't need to do an activity, like play a sport, shop or go for a walk,

Yet someone to really listen to me

And they referred of some talking styles as " The Dead Sea

And A Babbling Brook,

There is a lot of good "stuff" in this book

I am more of a Babbling Brook when I write,

And I am going to have to finish this, later tonight

Only 10 minutes and the café will open its doors

Just going to run into the kitchen and do a chore,

Do the dishes, I will be fast

And listen to the show, 3 hours it will last.

Its now, Saturday, the 16 Th, the morning is gone,

Woke up 3 hours after dawn,

Up for awhile and then went back to bed,

Have an ache in my head,

It almost feels like I have the flu,

How are things for you?

Last night, we did the show, we had a fun time,

It was fine,

Yet certainly not the same, since Jeff your no longer broadcasting on the
interactive station,

Maybe, you will fill in? Definitely during Christmas Vacation?

For you are, Mr. Christmas after all,

And last night, wish you had left a voice mail call,

While you were away,

Your message to the listeners saying Farewell, it has been fun, we would
have definitely have played,

Sorry, disappointing it kind of is, that you just suddenly were gone then
no message ,nothing at all,

You broadcasted for about 4 years, winter, and spring, summer and fall,

Every Friday night,

Entertained and provided tech news and information on your site,

Along with a fun Impossible questions , that made us all think, use our
Minds,

You helped some of us, to relax and unwind,

After a long day,

And great music, you always did play.

More then that , Darrell and I became engaged on your show,

So for all these reasons, hate to see you go

And so did others, so, wish a message to us all, you did send,

It just won't be the same, my friend.

Despite all of this, we had a good time in the café,

Lots of great tunes, we did play,

From party songs to music about Valentine's,

And even songs, for those people, who don't think love is fine,

That love is a splendid thing,

No tech news, we did not bring,

But, we had an I Q,

And quickly, the show was through .

After the show, we hung out and chatted with our friend Tina, up until one,
we talked for about 3 hours,

And today, think we will get more rain showers,

Not sure what I will do today,

Should get housework done, but as said, not feeling good, not okay.

We will be going down to Tucson next weekend

To spend with our Friends,

Jeff and Keri, will go downon Friday,

Hard to believe, then, is my Birthday,

Felt like I just had one,

When we all get together, we always have fun,

We are going to celebrate Christmas and hopefully my Birthday too?,

Not exactly sure, what we will do,

We will return home, on Sunday night

Maybe, do our show? Would like too, we might

We shall see,

It will be up to Jeff, if you agree?

We can all discuss it and decide then okay?

Don't have much else to say,

So, going to go, later more I will write,

For now, so long, alright?. ,

Today's KDd: Words to inspire

It's after 9 pm,on Saturday February Nine,

Hope your all well doing fine?

I know, some of you are not doing great,

That you have way too much on your plate,

And that you have many struggles and your feeling very stressed,

Perhaps, feeling alone?, angry?, hurt?, depressed?

I know, not getting much rest.

We all have been there , just stayin the ring

And soon, answers God will bring

And help he will provide ,

Even if you can not open your heart wide,

And give it your all

In time, he will, help you stand tall.

You will find the strength,

I don't know the length,

Of the time, it will likely take days, weeks and months, but,
everything, will be alright,

Hang tight,

Don't let go, ride the waves on the beach,

And at the end of the tunnel, you will reach.

The issues differ , but the feelings have been the same,

In this Life, stayin the game,

Don't quit, even when you're feeling the blues,

For if you don't, someone else will choose,

It for you.

And for me,

And very sorry, that there has been no KDD.

I have been stressed and working much,

And that, is why, I have-not stayed in touch

Besides, my creativity these days seem to be lacking, did disappear

And recently, Dougie has had a problem with his ear,

His left one is infected, yesterday, the vet we did go,

And recently, Jeff, decided to no longer do his show.

The Desert skies is temporarily dark, Jet black,

But, someone, hopefully us, will be back?

He has too much going on, too many obligations,

And so, had to resign from the station.

Though, He will be missed by many whom listened to him broadcast,,

The friendship we have, it will last.

Work is keeping me busy and many Guests do stay,

And we will miss the music, Jeff, you did play,

And also the tech news and the impossible questions to us, you did bring,

Too bad, we all will not be able to sing,

Play the singing bee game that would have been so much fun, at least I think
so?,

Maybe, we can do this, on our show? Lol

Its now, 10;48,

Getting late,

Darrell and I have been talking to our friend Nickie since 8,

And Jeff, had joined in the conversation as well,

And much is happening at the hotel

Much, I can not tell,

Not say,

A group arrived today,

Classified it is, don't know whom may lurk,

I have already had issues at work,

Don't need anymore

And wish, I could be at the shore

The beach,

And worry, about each,

Of my family and friends, especially the ones that are not doing great,
and possibly right now, feeling more like their alone?,

And tomorrow, Darrell and I will look at phones

Will go to the At & T Store, hopefully, a decision we will make,

And Dougie, medicine for a week, he will take.,

After, I took him to the vet, I had peace of mind

And inspiration and motivation, do you need to find?

And are you struggling to stay afloat?

Maybe, read the inspirational Quotes,

I did send?

And for now, take care friend

Again, my apologies, for not sending a dose, for days,.

And guess, many of us are not doing the best, This is just a phase

And it is, for you all,

Sorry, I have-not written or did not call

I am not chatting, journaling or anything skipping days at a time

I know, all wil be fine

Take it easy, it all, will be alright,

Come out from the darkness, there will be light,

And for now, good night.

Last KDd: Donating Organs and Raising Funds for the Cure

Its still Super Bowl Sunday, at 1; 51,

And maybe, with writing, for today, I am not done? Lol

Darrell just read Today's First,KDd, commented, it was good but short!

And I can tell you more about what is happening at the Resort?

The dose I just posted was not too short, nor long, wouldn't you say?

And in about 2 hours the football players will play,

And the fans will drink and party all night,

While people like me will read a good book, not write.

As I said, the team players are not staying with us, at our Hyatt,

Despite this fact, it certainly will not, be quiet,

As I said in a previous KDd,

ESPN, and other Media,there, they will be,

They are,

Not sure, if they will show up at the Bar?

Yet, do know, they are staying with us, and filming at the Hyatt in Phoenix
they had all their gear,

Since, the big game is here

Some from the NFL are staying with us,too,

Not sure what all, they will do,

Some of the teams are the Cincinnati Bengal's,the Detroit Lions, and the
Seattle Seahawks,

I am sure; all can view the game on the network channel, ESPN and maybe,
even CNN or Fox?

Also, our Guests, the Team the Buffalo Bills, noone from the NBA, like Larry
Bird,

And recently I heard,

About the Buffalo Bill player, that got seriously injured 5 months ago,

His story was amazing and Miraculous you know?

He had a spinal cord injury, and they never thought he would ever be able
to walk, he certainly can't play

Anymore, but heard his story, the other day

On the Oprah show,

And also she had discussed Organ donations , and there is something I
bet about me,you don't know?

I am considering donating my organs when I die,

And we are now, listening to Radio Rick on ACB R I,

She shared, some wonderful stories of those who did donate,

Of all the people, that it did help, think that is great,

And I am also thinking about, walking for the cure, for Breast cancer I like
to be involved in fund raisers, such a difference, they do make,

I may do the mile or 5?, all day,it may take?,

will be in the spring,

And today, this will be the last KDd, to you I bring.

Today's KDD: Super Bowl Sunday and Recalling Events from 1981

Its Super Bowl Sunday, at 11; 38,

And it's late,

The morning is coming to a close,

And yesterday, a KDd for you all I began to compose,

Yet, in the middle of it all, I had writer's block

And we are so predictable; it's our Sunday morning, listening to Kim's Rock,

Her "Blast from the Past Show,

And Darrell and I the Super Bowl, we are not going to go,

Heard its $1,000, for a ticket to this Event, who would waste all that
Money?

And today, it's not sunny,

It's overcast, 49 degrees low 45, high 64,

And the game will start at 6, here, at 4

And glad I am not working today, to much traffic, here in the Valley, East
and West,

And this weekend, not doing much, catching up on rest,

And Darrell and I went to Applebee's for Dinner last night , long it took
for my food to digest.

We both got the shrimp and steak,

Some of mine, home, I did take

He got the fried shrimp, and I the grilled,

And I had a glass of white wine, and Darrell a mud slide, that was tall and
chilled.

I wanted a Rosé wine, not a red, it is pink,

And today, I am not at all going to drink,

Darrell had Fries, a double stash,

And I had a baked potato with extra sour cream, not garlic mashed,

And I had a Caesar salad too,

And we topped it off, with a decalf coffee, when we were through.

After we came home, we chatted with our close friends Jeff and Keri,

And I am very glad, Kim is broadcasting, sorry, Barry lol

Yet you were a trooper, and I know, you gave it your best shot,

And I am going to begin another Dean Koontz Novel, it's another mystery, and
has a good plot,

Titled "from the Corner of my Eye

And how time, does fly

We already are into the second month of the year

And I am sure, today; many will be drinking the beer?

Not for us, not here!

At work, it's a happening Hotel,

And I am sure, at the Lobby Bar, much Beer and munchies, they will sell?

I am sure, there is much activity and many watching on the guest rooms
Television sets,

While others of us, surfing on the internet?

Today, we are supposed to get showers,

And the big game will be on in about 6 hours,

And all whom are staying at the Hotel, tomorrow will depart,

And Today Kim, played songs from 1981, the top hits on the chart.

I don't recall that year much at all,

Not much, I do recall,

I did not like School,

But in the summer, swam in our pool,

I remember, having my right eye removed, because of that, I was sick a lot

And Remember, when President Reagan and Press Secretary Brady were shot

And the news about the Tylenol,

But, not much more, I do recall.

The Tylenol was laced with cyanide, and it scared everyone,

And I am sure; I did some things, that were fun?

And I did have a friend,

Just a couple and my eye surgery was Halloween weekend.

I had much pain in my right eye,

And missed much school, had many colds, a throat infection, that is why,

And the operation, they finally did,

And I was frightened, first major operation, had two prior, but Then,I was a
kid,

I was 6 & 7, and many years in the past,

And back then, the surgery, 4 hours it did last.

So, that is it, not much then, I can tell,

Getting back to working at the Hotel,

We will have 480 checkouts tomorrow, Monday,; it will be crazy indeed,

And think I am going to go soon, and go read,

You all take good care and be good alright,

And another day, I wil write.
