This blog spot is the home to my ramblings. I am a free lance writer. Most of my work goes on Associated Content. Sometimes I write what is on my mind, sometimes I plug some of my writing, and sometimes a combination of the two. So, sit back read, enjoy, and we will see where it goes.

Keith Richards probably knows a thing or two about the high cost of being a wino. His solo band was called The Xpensive Winos and they are on tap for X.
"As Wicked As It Seems"
"Take it So Hard"
"Trouble"
"Hate it When You Leave"
Here they perform a Rolling Stones classic "Happy"
Once Corona was a beer. Open a cold bottle slide a wedge a lime inside. Used to be Jimmy Buffett's beer till he bought Landshark.
Of all the things it could be it turned into a virus, all that pent up anger I guess.
It could have been "Corinna" and Taj Mahal would sing about it...
Are you sure it's not Corvid 19, the Black Crowes did just get back together..
Maybe they are the "Remedy."
Yes Covid 19 is serious. It has spread the world faster than a "Love Trrain"
People have died. People have gotten very sick. Pretty much everything has been closed down. Hope is what we got. Hope for a vaccine. Hope that it will pass.
My word for the letter U during this challenge is Unbelievable. My Mother's love towards me and my daughter is unbelievable. My love from my Mom is second fiddle to the love my Mom has for my daughter and I completely understand why!
Here her Grandparents dressed her up as St Lucia a few Christmas back to share some of her Swedish heritage with her.
My Mom also loves this thing..
Unbelievable sometimes since they adopted this cat which still clings strongly to it's feral ways. The cat loves them back in her way. She likes to be near them and will check on them. Pet the cat at your own risk! Lately we have been bonding.
Talking about unbelievable things my Mom actually took my daughter for Surf lessons..
Yes my Mom's love is unbelievable. She has given so much and would give so much more if she could.
My Mom lives in the Jacksonville, Florida area. One of the selling points about moving to where I live is that I would be closer to my parents. As I am growing grayer my parents are growing older. Growing older I am finding out comes with more health issues. I am closer so I can come visit more often. Closer being the keyword. Jacksonville is still about 360 miles from where I am. 360 boring miles due east from me.
Sometimes I throw in a fun distraction like a concert, football game or a meet up with a close friend when I go to Jacksonville.
I don't dislike Jacksonville. I don't like the drive. It is one place that feels like home when I visit. I lived there as a child for about six years. I can drive by the old elementary schools I used to go to. I can walk through the old park I used to play in. I can walk along the beach that I have walked so many times before.
The video is a sunrise over the Black Sea, my Mom doesn't live by the Black Sea but she does live near the Atlantic Ocean. Living close to the ocean she enjoyed having a cup of coffee and watching the sun come up.
My Mom is still alive. It is just more difficult to get around. You fight a disease without a cure. Sometimes those treatments damage things and make things more difficult.
We have good days, bad days, days that are a little of both. Life can be measured in days. We don't know how many days we have. We don't know what day will be our darkest. As I grow older I tend to realize that in my own life. We can watch the lives of our parents, friends and love ones go by day by day.
I've been able to share some days with my Mom. We live in a time where if we can't share days we can share moments. We can send pictures instantly. We can talk in real time. Thanks to technology! We certainly can do more than when my Mom was born. Heck we can do so much more since I was born. Someway it is better and some ways it is a distraction.
Make the best of your days! Try to have more good days than bad! Because you never know how many days you can share. You never know how many days you have.
