Another week of gloom (and doom?) here in the Pacific Northwest. Fortunately we had no rain last Sunday so grandma and I were able to get outside for awhile. Grandma took me to a local wetland's park which was interesting. In spite of it being so wet that the boardwalk trail was impassible in spots we managed to spend enough time outside to recharge my mental health.

Hard to believe I know. I can hardly believe it myself. Time doesn't march on inexorably; it simply evaporates leaving behind a residue full of memories, emotions, and past regrets !! Just yesterday we were married and now two children and two grandchildren later we are celebrating our 44^th wedding anniversary.

Lions, tigers and bears, heck they're nothing. We saw dragons, dinosaurs and flying pigs when grandma and I went to the fair. It was a rare good day for me with no nurse visit scheduled and no MS attack to bedevil me so we decided to just take a chance, pack up the wheelchair and go.

Have you ever been scared? Not movie scared but scared by incidences in your life. I have and it was some most unpleasant experiences. Mostly I got scared for my wife and children but on occasion events affecting me would scare me but usually not at the time. When the events occurred I would usually just get mad at my own stupidity. It was only later when I realized the consequences that I would let the potential outcome scare me.
For example,
