About Paul

Just an old retired guy trying to finish out my last years on this planet. I lost my best friend and wife in early 2020. I was blessed again by reconnecting with Dr. Mary Côté, a long-time friend. Mary and I got married July 28th, 2021, and are enjoying life together and plan to spend the rest of our lives being a blessing to our friends and family.

Thursday Was A Good Day!

Posted on Friday, January 24, 2025 by Paul

Mary and I were moving before 7:00 am and feeling pretty good.  My nose has stopped running, and Mary’s back seemed OK after tripping over the dog again! We spent the morning in the office tackling a mountain of mail … Continue reading →

Posted on Wednesday, January 22, 2025 by Paul

The gym was ready, with the front door looking like its mouth was open and teeth showing.  We felt like lambs being led to the wolves!  We got beat up for almost 60 minutes AFTER riding the stationary bike for … Continue reading →

It was lovely to wake up with headlines revealing that Trump is keeping his promises!  We love to see the fur fly and the leftist get tossed out on their ears!  Bring back common sense! We worked around the house … Continue reading →

An Amazing Day; A Breath Of Fresh Air!

Posted on Monday, January 20, 2025 by Paul
