2014 IS ALREADY HALF GONE


DANG!  I have not written anything here for... well, never mind.  Anyway, so much has happened that I can't being to put it all down but I wanted to write a few things that are, well, milestones.  I bought a house in South Memphis, Tennessee, in what you would probably call the "ghetto."  I still own the house, a duplex, but I only stayed in Memphis for a year and got back to California in December.  I'm now living in Altadena, California, at the foot of historic Mt. Lowe and I can the equally if not more historic Mt. Wilson, whose observatory houses the one hundred inch refracting telescope, for many years the largest telescope of its kind, in the world.  Barron, my male greyhound died last July and I buried him in the back yard in Memphis.  Jade, my female and baby girl is still here and doing well and was six years old this year.  Today I missed Annual Greyhound Reunion and Picnic in El Cajon which is a yearly even done by Operation Greyhound where I adopted all three of my friends finest companions, Ben Hardin, Barron, and Jade, all three red brindle greyhounds.  I wish I could have gone but it just wasn't practical.  Practicality is something I've seldom been accused of, but occasionally, nevertheless, I am.

What else?  I'm going to Hong Kong in August or September, and also to Bangkok, to visit old friend I knew from the days when I lived in Paris, France.

I've been tweeting more, though I felt real silly at first doing it.  I'm getting more used to it as time goes on.  I still have a great aversion (it's kind of nutty) to Facebook, though I have many friends on it and I continuously feel guilty for not going there more often, as well as having MANY unanswered message.  I very much need to update my Linkedin profile, and I feel guilty about that, as well.  Online I have been doing the less arudous stuff (answering messages) to do more fun things, such as the two Pinterest boards I've created recently, the newest one I just made today.  It's called "George's Girls."

 What else to say before I must clean my room and fold my laundry...oh, I'm thinking of doing my little show on my Youtube Channel.  I don't know if I have anything worthwhile to add to the incredible amount of things already out there but it can't hurt to try, right?  And it doesn't really cost anything so what the heck.  Well, we'll see.  It's an idea I have.

That's all for now, y'all.  Thanks for reading this (if anyone does).  And on we go!
