The first phone call woke me up. As usual I could not see clearly and tried to open the case on my phone from the bottom. I almost broke a nail before I grabbed my glasses to see what was wrong and turned the case over. I managed to open the phone on the last ring before drifting into message oblivion. It was Laura from the Administration Office. She was checking up on the CW tirade at Thursdays BBQ. Since Chas caught her at the monthly birthday celebrations she needed to get another side of the story. I tried not to sound sleepy, after all it was 9:00, and repeated to her what I told you a few days ago.
I decided it was time to get up but my body was fighting that decision. It went to bed way to late the night before and was still tired. About thirty minutes later and second call came from the Administrative Office. This was an official inquiry into the CW explosion at the BBQ. I told both of them that a number of women are frightened of CW. If he gets on an elevator they are on, they get off. Several live in fear of being caught alone with them. They believe he is violent and threatening. I do not disagree. I am reasonable sure those angry and potentially violent times are when he is off his meds. Few want to talk with him because his conversation s so far off subject. He is pretty much an outcast.
I began some apartment clean up and then decided I would try to walk to the Farmers Market at the park. It’s only four blocks. On Sunday I walked to and from church with out pain. Today I only got two blocks then I sat down and rested before returning home. The whole trip back was without pain and so I wondered if I should have plugged on. Instead I asked a friend to pick up some Rainer Cherries. I love those things and they are a perfect snack.
When I got home I sat in my chair and promptly fell asleep. I left the TV on thinking I might drift off and was hoping the change of TV program would wake me up if that happened. It did. That meant I was only a few minutes late for Bible Study. I didn’t want to miss. We laugh and discuss and learn from one another. I love it.
It is late again as I write this. I was going to go to bed and write tomorrow, but I didn’t, as you can see. Just felt like talking to my three or four readers. Also, I wanted a record day. I feel like I’m being drawn into something that will come back and grab me by the tail.

Thank you for the update. I look forward to each new instalment!! I wish I was the type of person who could write a blog as well as you do. Thank you for the work you put into yours!! It speaks volumes and I would not doubt that it some ways it is of help to one or many. Only God knows. Keep up the wonderful work!! God Bless.
DEAR MR. BOOMER: Thank you very much. If it means something to some one, great. While I would like to see my more followers, I am content with writing for myself and a hand full of people. This is theraputic for the writer and helps me keep my mind going and developing my writing. There were times in my life when I thought I had a book in me or others thought so. If there was such a day, I think it is over, but I still enjoy writing. You don't hear from me every day do to writers block. I blank out.
If ya got a yearbook from 1974-5 CBC you can see a picture from my youth. John Wheeler aka: Boomer!
I have looked you up. I believe you used the same photo (or one like it) on what was going to become your blog. Give it a try. Just write when you can and don;t worry about length. I should write shorted articles, but I don't - go figure!
Clyde...."CW tirade", "CW explosion"? hmmmmmm. I'm sure you didn't mean a "Clyde Walker tirade" or a "Clyde Walker explosion"!!!!
NO I did not mean me. This gentleman has my same initials.
I enjoy how looking at a yearbook brings back so many memories. Amazing :-)
I missed the whole "tirade" thing (I didn't think that the CW could have been you, lol!!)
I'll try writing a blog. I've always been a drawer though, not a writer. We shall see!!
