New Open Diary.
Since 2014 I've moved half a dozen times. I bought a house. I got married. Things are going well.
I've been places and took pictures. The old diary is open and there were 11,000 pics posted there, mostly of Oregon. They'll be mostly from California in this new diary.
Take a look. I've been known to take a decent picture.

A long time away
April 14, 2022
I recovered my OD, last regularly written in 2014, and last visited in 2018. Time flies by as you get older, it seems. I began writing in Open Diary in 2004 and wrote for nearly ten years on it, reaching people all over the world, and nearby too. I wrote of my life and things…Continue Reading... -

Well. Hello. I've been gone for a little over four years. My Chinese astrology forecast 2014 as The year for a Great Leap, so, after thinking about it for years, I jumped from my 8th floor balcony in Portland. I haven't landed just yet. It was and is the best move I've made in this…Continue Reading... -

Ten years ago, I began writing here and have, since then, posted 4, 350 entries. 3,643 of those are Public entries, 550 are Friends Only, and 157 have been Private.

Things are going well, for me and my woman. (I like writing that) Other things and other people will sort themselves out or not, and we'll deal accordingly. We are well matched. I am moving in s l o w motion from Portland to Crescent City. 331 miles, door to door, and I've brought 3…Continue Reading... -

First entry in the 2014 chapter. In my life, this has begun a new book, not just a chapter. My computer still doesn't work; hardware changes have confused the issue and I need different power connectors to put everything back together. It looks like the floppy disk dive is history. --- I ha...Continue Reading... -

A guy went to a nude beach for the first time in his life, and spent all day there, playing in the sun. He took a blond bimbo home with him that night, and they had hot monkey sex all over the house. In fact, he wore her out and after she'd fallen asleep, he…Continue Reading... -
This IS ironic
December 26, 2013
Do you have a voice in your head that acts like a warning when you start to do dumb things? Do you listen to it? Or do you do what I just did and laugh... and suffer the consequences, resolving to NEXT TIME listening to that voice you KNOW is pretty wise? I use a…Continue Reading... -
The day after tomorrow
December 25, 2013
Since April of 98, I have had seven jobs. I was fired from five of them, a thing that had never happened before the car wreck and the brain injury. I've had to get used to a new reality since then. The job I have now is working with developmentally disabled adults. I'm "on call",…Continue Reading... -

Things are looking even better for 2014. My former wife called, worried because we've been out of touch for weeks, due to the untimely demise of my computer. I told her about my new girlfriend, who wrote about our first connection on her OD pages. (it's nice to have a starring role) My ex, ...Continue Reading...
