Its 4;35 on Monday June Twenty-nine,
Hope your all well ,doing fine?
I know,its been awhile since I have written,
and my site,some of you have been hitten,
been visiting,nothing posted to the blog,
and your wondering how are, Darrell,me and Dougie Dog?.
I have not been able to create daily doses since the work issues over a
year ago,
and so, the creativity and inspiration does no longer easily flow.
Most of my material I would get on the way to work,at the office or on the
commute home
that would set the tone,
and enable me to compose a Kdd,
and I am out of practice you see.
I am not naturally gifted to write poetry,but do like to write,
Maybe,some day, classes I will take,some day I might.
Not much has happened since,just keeping busy from day to day,from Sunrise
to Sunset,
working, Doctors appointments ,,playing on the net
Visiting with Friends,paying Bills,cleaning out sheds,
dishes,vacuuming,laundry,making beds.
Just like the rest of you
for us nothing much new.,
I am doing much better than I was 2 months ago,
I can breathe pretty well,except,when someone, their lawn,they do mow
I still have allergies to pollen and fresh grass Like I had before,
but I am not wheezing and coughing anymore
not feeling fatigued or having sleepless nights,
nor is my chest feeling tight
I do have asthma and take an inhaler, its mild,not that bad. best I have
felt since last fall,
so,what is happening for you all?,
I have posted some Mountain Wings messages, I get each day from week to
week,
Their message,maybe you seek
I appreciate the MountainWings messages that is sent to my e--mail each
day,
and I am sure you all heard about the Celebrities that passed away?
First, Ed Mc Mann,Farrah Fawcet,Michael Jackson and Billy Mays,
All within just a few days,
All the radio stations are playing Michael's music and jokes are being told
though,some are funny,its inappropriate and rather cold,
and in poor taste at this time, so soon after,
Despite the fact some of them trigger laughter.
Speaking of laughter,I go into an asthma attack then. its kind of scary and
uncomfortable indeed,
and recently,another Dean Koontz Novel I did read.
Its called "Relentless" and one that I would definitely recommend,
Its excellent! lots of twist and turns till the very end.
Anyway, The Celebrities that just passed,were Icons, part of the TV
generation
I am sure everybody across the nation,
and around the world,heard. I am sure to many,a shock
I Remember, Star Search,Charlie's Angels and Michael doing the Moon Walk.
I didn't think much of him but his music ,did enjoy,
He was in show business since a very young boy
Remember the Jackson Five,
Still can't believe,none of these People are Alive.
Farrah was a strong lady, her cancer she fought,
I am sure treatment she sought,
but the battle she lost,she is at peace,at rest
That is for the best.
Darrell is doing fine,
Spending much time online,
Blogging and Tweeting,
many discussions he is leading,
on accessibility,
to help those of us who can't see.
He is applying skills he learned in his journalism classes this past year,
and is hoping to have a career,
in this field,combine his knowledge of technology and his passion to help
others,not just in our nation, but all Continents,
sometimes,often,these discussions,get intense,
are quite lively indeed,
why don't you go read,
his blog,go see,
Right now,Darrell,the NFB and ACB,
Are all suing ASU ,
Will be interesting when,this is all through.
Darrell and these two blind organizations filed a complaint because of the
Kindle device not being accessible,blind students,it,they can't use
Perhaps, this article,reached the news?
That you red all about it? if not take a look,
The Kindle can readE -books,and we can't
I am sure,some do rant,
and rave,think the lawsuit is pointless,Resources should be allocated
another way,
and this became public just the other day
Blind Students should have access to the same information and be able to
use any tech device,as their sighted classmates,
and Evidently,they are suing 5 Universities,not sure which other ones or
states,
Don't know, if this will go to Trial,
I am sure,it will take awhile.
Darrell is a plaintiff in this case,says Testifying,would be fun,
What wil be the outcome,when this is done?
This is giving him a great opportunity to help the blind and incorporate his
journalistic techniques ,be a reporter,to investigate,
on this subject,has had debates,
Though,much,right now,he can't say,without seeking legal council ahead of
time,
and other things he is blogging about online.
Mostly reporting about sites that don't have Audio CAPTCHA or web sites
that we can't shop on, and access due to security measures that are taken,
I think some progress he is making.
He is interviewing,conducting research and utilizing knowledge gained,
being proactive,despite those who have complained,
He has been a writing fool,
Also he too,is reading Novels and swimming in the pool.
He will ,should be starting a Campus job very soon at ASU,
He will be a Research Assistant,that is what he will do
Dougie Dog is fine,is the same old adorible dog,
He is mentioned,here often on the blog
He is getting old and medicine he is taking,has trouble with his
Bowels,
Garks some, but doesnot howell,
at the moon,
or the wind or the rain or sleet lol,
and he too,doesn't like this heat.
Its getting wicked hot 107,but it will get cooler,not by much,
expecting rain,with you all,love to keepin touch.
Work from a business perspective has been great,
We are sold out,more than most Hotels in the Valley or the state,
Witch in many ways is a very good thing,But it snot even Labor Day. Then,
we will be in full swing
The types of Guests that stay are not the same,that we get,when in Season,
The much lower rates is likely the reason
Rates reduced in half and also locals come stay,
so we have more folks here, to have fun,play
rather,then conducting Business
we have Families come to the West,
and some do Business. our meeting Space is being filled by groups,various
corporations,
or people on vacation
WE have the Championship Golf,the 3-story slide,numerous of pools and tennis
Courts,
Some dressed in Suits while others in shorts
or bathing suits every attire,all kinds of shoes,
and several activities,like you were on a cruise
From boat rides to dive-in movies on a Saturday night,
to dinner under candle light
Nice comfy beds,bike trails and horseback
its no wonder guest come back,
and stay with us. I am grateful,glad,
but,these days, many rough days I have had,,
has been stressful ,hectic and crazy,
There is much work,no time for boredom or being lazy lol.
Phone lines ringing off the hook,radio's beeping,and my computer
talking,jabbering away,
taking several requests an hour throughout the day,
much to juggle,need to prioritize,
This is very wise.
While most are Celebrating our Country's Independence,with Fireworks and
picnic fun,
I will have much work,that will have to be done,
I will be working the entire Holiday,which is a bummer,
but,will take a few vacation days later in the summer.
We plan on having Jeff and Keri and Kids down in late July,
we all love Pool parties,swimming,barbecues,that is why
will celebrate Birthday's. Darrell's,Jeff's, Keri's and their son
David's,not Brian's or mine,
will spend less time on line,
will not be composing KDd's,facebooking or tweeting
But visiting,swimming and eating. lol
Also, hoping to take a weekend trip to San Diego,Visit,Darrell,Ruthie and
me
and later, Darrell may see our Friend Mimi in Washington Dc.
I miss Ruthie,the Ocean,and would be a nice change from this Desert heat
I was 3 when Ruthie and I did meet.
We intend to go home for Christmas this year. its my turn,so New England
,We should be able to go,
to visit family,celebrate Christmas and playin the snow
Though,it seems every time, it melts the day we arrive and snows again,when
we leave,heading back West
still have a nice time
telling stories,sharing what is happening,having wine
,seeing everyone,exchanging gifts,catching up on rest.
Do hope we all can get together?, The entire Family,is that,a possibility?
that everybody we can see,
at the same time,same place, be more than cool,
and its hard to believe that my Niece Jo Anna will be starting High School ,
This Fall,
Her Brother Bobby a Junior,Katie in 6 TH,and the little ones,in Kindergarten
and Nursery School,Emma and Marin,oh,how fast they grow,
You know?
Well,3 hours have come and gone,
since I began this,have to get up before dawn
work tomorrow and then off again,
Try and be in bed before ten
I just had to compose at least one last Kdd before this month ends
for now, take care,my Family and Friends. ,
