Voices from the past remind me…

By Silver Blue

Johnny and Kayleigh… 1989.

Water under the bridge, but in the space of a phone call, its as if no time has passed at all.

Silver Blue… who knows that time isn’t linear, but fluid.

The way life is feeling right now.

By Silver Blue

 

Just seems like life is speeding by…. and I can’t quite keep up.

Trying, though.

Silver Blue, who needs sleep.

I dreamt I could fly

By Silver Blue

To soar like the birds…

I’m reminded that Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines.

LOL.

Silver Blue, who is no weasel.

Happy Memorial Day

By Silver Blue

I’m the son of a son of a sailor, and on this Memorial Day, I give thanks to both my Grandfather and my Dad who fought to protect my freedom.

From the left, my Grandfather, my Dad, and me.

Silver Blue, who believes most people think today is just a National Cookout day. Sad.

Too tired to post.

By Silver Blue

Even my University’s mascot, the Monarch (Big Blue) is feeling the need to take a breather.

Silver Blue, who will be (hopefully) more in the mood for posting on Memorial Day.

No blog post due to GREAT news.

By Silver Blue

My Uncle Mike underwent reconstructive surgery today from where he lost his stomach to esophageal cancer, and is at the Cleveland Clinic…. the surgery (an 8+ hour) to reconstruct a stomach for him so he may be taken off of a feeding tube was a SUCCESS!

Here he is, waiting to go back for surgery this morning:

I think that the good news we’ve received more than qualifies as a reason to take the night off from the blog.

YAY! Love you, Uncle Mike! (Silver Blue, over and out)

Look Rhett!

By Silver Blue

The Magnolias are in bloom.

Just in time to be enjoyed…

Before another hurricane comes along…

…and makes me glad I have multiple backups of photos.

Who needs a reason to celebrate?

By Silver Blue

Niagara Falls. Fireworks. What more do you need?

Make it go away!

By Silver Blue

I don’t care if it was en vogue for steakhouses in the 1970s. Or the fact there are recipes dating back to 1914 for this. The hoi polloi can have their wedge of iceberg lettuce with Roquefort dressing and bacon. But please… keep it away from me.

Trust me, This was NOT served at a steak house, it was NOT pleasing to look at, and it certainly didn’t taste good.

Not to mention the iceberg lettuce is devoid of all nutritional value.

Silver Blue, who doesn’t expect haute cuisine when I dine at plated luncheons, but I certainly don’t expect … well… I should digress.

I turned 43 today.

By Silver Blue

13 years ago, this was my cake:

If I felt over the hill then (and I did), you can imagine how I feel now!

Silver Blue, who asks you to hand me down my walking cane…..
