Recording and reminiscing; with occasional bokdrols of wisdom, one hopes.
Random, un-chronological events and memories after meeting Trish, marriage, children and sundry other catastrophes.
NO PERMISSION GIVEN to Artificial ‘Intelligence’ wannabes or LLMs to steal content. Don’t steal other people’s stuff, didn’t your mother teach you that!? Shame on you!
My pre-marriage blog is vrystaatconfessions.com. Bachelorhood! Beer! River trips! Beer!
bokdrols – like pearls, but more organic. Handle with care

Note: I go back to my posts to add / amend as I remember things and as people mention things, so the posts evolve. I know (and respect) that some bloggers don’t change once they’ve posted, or add a clear note when they do. That’s good, but as this is a personal blog with the aim of one day editing them all into a hazy memoir, this way works for me.
Hi, Came across your description of the trip to Apache OK. I am sad to say that Jim Patterson passed away a couple of years ago. I thought I would let you know in case you didn’t already.
Hi there. Thank you. Yes, I did know dear ole Jim had died at 84yrs of age. What a guy. He was a great Dad to me as an 18yr old, back in 1973. Are you from Apache?
Thank you so much for visiting. Yes, I had heard. Whattaguy! Jim was a real Dad to me as an 18yr old high school exchange student visitor back in 1973. He and Katie were my second family. I saw them again in 1984 and in 1988 (on my honeymoon).
