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.

Hump Day; Down Hill From Here!

Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2024 by Paul

We were lazy this morning, and we thought a lot about this poor world of ours since the sicko, brain-damaged, inbred, mentally sick radical Muslims began their bloodthirsty rampage. Today, I discovered that gardening is just a fancy way of … Continue reading →
