The reality of my situation right now, is I am totally alone. I have been cleaning out my deceased wife's clothing, shoes and her too numerous creams and shampoo; as well as extraneous stuff that I have no use for.
No friends, nor family. Just me.
So, if I become lax

Been very busy. Gathering up my wife's clothing and donating them. Taking care of and finishing up legalities.

2002 was a good year for getting in the Orlando Sentinel news paper. Puerto Rico's cultural body approved my art as being masterful and worthy of inclusion in its roster. In the photo I am working on a portrait commission.

Got to keep up and experiment with the new tech. At 81 years of age the brain needs stimulus.

For many years now I have been feeding feral cats. It seems that I'm their only source for nourishment. Yesterday I spied a hairless tail. I sensed it was a possum. Just a few moments ago I got a full view of it. It saw me and ran away. I put more food out for it.

You know, people have been making a big fuss about the crazy guy in the White House. All the while they have been missing what's really important.
Out resources have been shrinking, fritted away. Why do you think he's scrambling for oil?

The most difficult thing to do is to let go after your beloved has passed.
Today I took apart my wife's lounge chair. My cats had torn the material in the back of the chair to shreds. I am lucky, the manufacturer put the chair together in parts.
So they fit easily in my recycle and garbage bins.

I've been busy working on this huge genealogy project for a client.
When I am done the client will be able to join The Sons of The Revolution as well as any Civil War organizations.
This kind of project is time consuming because one has to find ancestors, then one has to confirm the sources

Academia.edu created this AI to help promote my essay on Juan Gonzalez Ponce de Leon. There was a lot of erroneous assumptions made by early historians about his genealogy. But my paper revealed the truth.
