She Said, He Said

The Texas Hoss

Weather Haiku

I hear the thunder 
fall like nobody's business
drip, splish, splash, KA-BOOOM.

A man with one clock always knows the time

I let others...

...win the Internet. I much prefer playing horseshoes. 

My old grandpa said...

I saw Ewan McGregor...

...at Walmart the other day. He was much shorter than I expected.

If your knives are dull, sharpen them

If you don't like your hairdo, change it.

If you think you weigh too much, lose some.

If you're always talkative, try listening.

If you're the quiet type, speak up.

If you hate spending large portions of your life sitting in a chair, get up and go for a walk.

If you love spending large portions of your life sitting in a chair, get up and go for a walk before you can't.

If your big dreams seem unattainable, they are until you get serious about them.

You'll never have an adventure by staying inside.

Start today. Do something different.

"If only" is an excuse.

Life's too short for excuses.

She Said, He Said

In honor of National Haiku Poetry Day...

I saw last night's storm
wash away dusty Thursday
for Friday's pleasure.

*   *   *  

Afternoon breeze
swirling Spring pollen 
Achoo.

*   *   *

Dusty boots outside
where life is better to live
and die in Texas.

The Texas Hoss

No, I did not enjoy my trip

I fell down.

I fell down the front steps.

I fell down the front steps and landed flat on my butt.

I fell down the front steps and landed flat on my butt in a pool of water and mud.

Other than feeling like my spine had been compressed by the moon being suddenly dropped on top of my head, it really didn't hurt.

At least not on Sunday.

Monday, back at work, all was going well until I tried to balance a stick on top of my nose.

Sometimes I do that.

Balance things on top of my nose.

Well, light things. Not like chairs or lawn mowers.

Sticks.

Brooms.

Maybe a ukulele, if I dare.

But on Monday my neck was too stiff to balance anything.

And then on Tuesday I started walking like an old man.

On Wednesday I started walking like an old woman.

And then it got even worserer, which isn't really a word, but on Thursday I couldn't care less.

I'm typing this on Friday. (Actually, I'm typing this on a laptop, but...). I took the day off. No use in me sitting around at work all bummed out in pain, when I could be sitting around at home all bummed out in pain.

Luckily for me, as my wife was heading out the door for work, she left me a To Do List to do.

I guess she thought I'd be bored all alone at home.

Alone in the peace and quiet.

She's thoughtful like that.

Biker Haiku

Sunday afternoon
country roads taking me the
longest way back home.

I'm taking one photo a day, throughout all of 2015 (as long as I don't quit). Wanna see all the photos I've taken so far?

Here's a link to my 365 Album on Flickr.

Life is not...

... about me or you or the horses we rode in on; it's about working hard, helping others, being kind and forgiving.

Insomnia Haiku

One in the morning
is good a time as any
to not sleep at all.

Any woman...

...who's up and out on the trail before sunup is my kinda woman.
