Help Me

Who else is getting cramps from the salmon?

Colonel

I will walk with you tomorrow. I have had trouble sleeping, and when the dreams have come, they have been rigid and loud. Do you know what I mean? I've had to pace by the fridge, which is getting harder with the ankle aches. But I will walk with you tomorrow to the river, and if we catch a catfish I'll gill him with my knife.

God bless this Country and the democratic process! What we debate in peace they kill over in war!

This Place Is a Ghost Town

Where is everyone these days? Can it be that families have come to take everyone away for the summer? I remember last summer, I think it was, every week they played the mah jong and the movies in the Great Hall. That colored fellow from the city would bring his dance troupe and they'd play the old songs on the boom box so we could dance with them. Last night I listened to my WWII book on the tape again and I swear there weren't hardly a sound on the whole floor. Who is here to walk with me and the nurse down to Pawtucket river tomorrow? I want to see the catfish jump before the summer ends.  My step-son says the catfish don't jump anymore, but he's a damn fool. I would only call him a damn fool on the Internet, and no place else of course.

As you can see my keyboard problem is gone. For now.

I Need to Teach You

I need to teach you guys to use this. It's easy!

My pretty bad itch is getting worse.

Will This Work?

Will this work? I'm trying to send a link of my grandkids that my son just sent. The big one is going to Michigan in the fall. Looks just like his dad, who looks just like his mom.

This Beautiful Day

Sitting in the courtyard just now, looking up at the bright blue sky, considering the beautiful wife of 55 years to whom I will make love later tonight, I just wanted to THANK GOD FOR AMERICA. We are in trying times these days. Red Lefe residents have seen trying times before, both at home and abroad. The Col. fought in either two or three wars I think. Tabby's family lost something like a third of their real estate holdings in the Great Depression. My store was burned in the riots. But we have prevailed because nothing is as strong as the spirit of this country. We sometimes want to complain, and yes it's hard to resist because it really does ache here and it really does itch there. And God knows it does. But THERE IS SO MUCH MORE REASON TO REJOICE. The families we have the friends, and the medications and other procedures. Call me a softie, I don't care. I call myself an optimist and a patriot, and a darn lucky man.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTION. THIS IS A STATEMENT OF EMOTION AND I THINK OF FACT.

Test

Hello,

I am posting for resident Col. Mactimor to see if his display name shows up. When he saw that his name was not displayed on the right he became quite irritable. I don't think I need to remind the staff of blogger.com that the Colonel served his country in three distinct wars and should be shown the respect he deserves, especially in regards to having his name displayed prominently on a web log. The Colonel is currently in the rec room enjoying a screening of the 2003 Denzel Washington starrer "Out Of Time" and would very much like to begin posting on to the web log soon. Hopefully this post will have his display name and not mine. Thank you for your time.
-Nick Nadel, the Colonel's son-in-law

Red Lefe Calls!
I cannot drive.
These beig-ed walls!
I'm still alive.

Alzheimer's curse
Is creeping Lethe's womb.
This place is worse,
Named Red Lefe's Tomb!


Take that Edward Lear!

Lost Glasses

I found a pair of reading glasses if someone lost them. They look kind of like ladies. P.S. I have been expecting a letter from VFW and they have sent it to the wrong address before! In case anyone knows. What do you think about Sen. Edwards? I bet if he loses he'll sue!
