Today, my dad turned 91 years old. Longevity runs in our family. My grandfather’s death was ruled an accidental death at the age of 93, since he tripped on his own feet, fell, and hit is head on the concrete. He had on some real bulky shoes/boots that seem to contribute to the tripping. He…

Here on the west side of Lake Superior it has been up to 84 degrees. With this type of temperature, I might as well stay at home, but it is going to get down to 65 degrees, and the temperature would probably not get that low at night. I am back on the grid, but…

Journal Entry – Lake Superior Circle
Another nice day up here around the Lake with the high temperature of 65 degrees. I could get use to this weather. It was a slow morning for me, so I thought that I would work on trying to figure out why my hotspot on my computer was not working. So, I started texting with…
