I do not hurt innocent people. I have assistants for that.

This week has found me feeling horribly, strangely, old--

It is almost as if I do not recognize myself suddenly...

I am normally very accepting of my aging process..

This mood swing on the subject aging is unusual for me--

It's the first time this has happened.

The backyard rebuild is now complete!

The new sod is marvelous!

Although somewhat better--

my back is still giving me problems..

We are big fans of viewing the British mystery show
Midsomer Murders.

We don't necessarily follow it for the murder mysteries
but rather we watch for the beautiful villages, background countryside
 and English garden locations...

Being an American, it is so hard to 
believe places used as a backdrop in this show actually exist,
when compared to our world of strip malls filled with
nail parlors and payday loan offices?

Watching this show, is for me, an escape.

I often think that "Independence thing" of ours,

may have been vastly overrated..?

I replaced the battery, cleaned and
maintained my Seiko Flightmaster Chronograph.

I also replaced the standard issued leather band
for an OD green, Nato web band I had in stock.

This particular model Seiko is somewhat rare
in the United States, being much more popular overseas.

Tuesday night--

We fucking lost the NY primary to her--
