Welcome!
Hello and welcome, friend! My name is Jim and this is my blog, constructed entirely of dreams and opinions. My lawyer said that a disclaimer would be a good idea, but he didn't include any jokes to go with it. Damned if I can think of any either.

Pat Passed Away

I wrote and watercolor-illustrated a little book about my Mom passing away.

a critter has died in the walls
As i have mentioned before, there is a horrific smell in my apartment.
We’ve been enjoying some warm weather lately, and I assume that during this time the animals that live in the walls of my apartment building sent an emissary into the unknown cavers of the furnace and connected ductwork. There he met with a demise.
I would normally use the well-worn phrase “untimely demise” there, but I really have no idea about the critter in question’s final punctuality. It might have been long overdue.
At any rate, he’s dead and he smells.
So, with flurries in the forecast for tomorrow, my choices are being cold all night or smelling a burning rotting vermin corpse.
Tonight I swim 5×500m sets with odds moderate and evens harder.
I want to do Race Across America. Trying to talk my teammates into it.
