So of course I have to start out with a Todd Snider lyric, as I so often do, many times without anyone even noticing.

So after blowing a job with SOIL, because I couldn’t quite get the WordPress thing down, I decided that this should not happen again, and when I found out that WordPress was able to be installed on my site, through my host Hostgator.com, I decided to use one of my domains as a test subject to get things rolling and see what I could do with it.  So if you bother coming here you’re see who-knows-what as I test out this or that.  I may start blogging more as I am without cable, and I think I can download WordPress for iPhone and access these things this way. Or I may just try leach off the neighbors Wi-FI.  Haven’t decided if I’ll ask them or  hack it, but shouldn’t be a big deal either way.

For the karma whoring part of this post…  Here’s is a picture of a sleeping puppy, he’s small in this picture but as of yesterday he was 115 pounds and had just turned 9 months old.  This pup is a giant.

Zeke is my friend's English Mastiff, but I am his dog-father in case anything happens to them.

This is a poem my mother wrote to her mother. I read it for the first time today. It reminds me of something similar I wrote to my mom once, I’ll post that if I can ever type it without balling too much. This made me cry enough.
I guess that tears and pain are part of the healing process; but right now they just feel like torture

FYI: I write about things that affect and/or effect me deeply, that’s one of the ways I deal with it, if you don’t like, don’t read.

Mother

Bless you mother who understood.

Bless you mom you seemed to know that my eyes were dim and my wits were slow.

Bless you mom who looked away when I did something wrong yesterday.

Bless you mom with a cheery smile who always took time to chat for a while.

Bless you mom who knew the way to bring back memories of yesterday.

Bless you mom who seemed to known that I was loved and not alone.

Bless you mom who seemed to know when I was at a loss to find the strength to carry on.

Bless you mother who eased the days when I’d go home on lonely days.
