This Time of Year
Maybe tomorrow.
A periodic record of thoughts and life as these happen via the various roles I play: individual, husband, father, grandfather, son, brother (brother-in-law), writer, university professor and others.
I was born on Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, South Carolina, then lived a while in Fayetteville, North Carolina, before moving, at the age of 5, to Walnut, NC. I graduated from Madison High School in 1977. After a brief time in college, I spent the most of the 1980s in Nashville, Tennessee, working as a songwriter and playing in a band. I spent most of the 1990s in school and now teach at a university in Tennessee. My household includes wife and son and cat. In South Carolina I have a son, daughter-in-law and two granddaughters.

Get up. It's tomorrow. The lawn needs to be mowed.
That got a laugh out of me. But I'm an office boy, so I have to spend the day between these four walls before I can go home to enjoy a good lawn-mowing session!
Well, I guess I will chime in. I once loved to mow. So I can understand your dissapointment. Circumstances have changed all of that and now someone else mows for me. I don't miss it anymore.
Giving up the freedom of arranging my own schedule is something I don't even want to think about in these last few years before retirement. When I was in the hospital and the week after that, I had to completely rely on Sandy and other people. Not by choice, but because I was totally helpless. I thank God for hos healing grace and for letting me know how really dependent we are on Him and those around us.
Don't know where that came from, somrthin you said, I guess.
Peace, john
Sorry for the fumble fingers....
