I've come to the conclusion that I write this blog for my own amusement, as few others (except those I send here) actually read it.

What's going on? Well, we still have hurricane refugees (well, one refugee) with us. She's not in the house with us, so it's just like any other tenant in our apartments. But Norm is gone, and Barry is gone, and so are their wives and pets. Things worked out pretty well for them, as far as their lives getting back on track, but it's a work in progress. Barry is still working long days getting his life back to normal. He lost everything. What a way to spend your retirement.

I've been sailing when I can. The boat is now in a wet slip, and I can sail any time I want, but in winter, that's not so easy. Shane dropped by today and said he hasn't sailed since July 4th, so I'm like the old man in the sea by comparison. We hope to sail again this Monday.

Often I wonder how I came to have such a good life. I hate my job as much as any sap who works for a living, but that's just 40 hours per week. When I'm off, I have a good time. I'm a loner by nature, so a good time is different for me than it might be for you. I get home after work and go upstairs to paint pictures and listen to audiobooks. Every morning I piss around on the internet and update my website. I read, I do a few chores, etc. It's not so bad. I'd rather be sailing the high seas, but who wouldn't?

You may be detecting that I really don't have much to say, but it's time to update the blog, so here you have it. Someone today mentioned reading this page, and made me ashamed of not keeping it up. So for those who may have been worried, fear not. Life is great for Jeff and Janice.
