My daily exercise, for the moment, is a 2 mile walk. Our home sits in a relatively small development which includes a small park, about 2 acres. I love it. The park is named after its benefactor, Mary Hayes Barber Holmes. As you approach the park itself, a stairway takes you up to the walking... Continue Reading →
Blue Marble. The View from 18268.313 miles
Imagine, and, we can only imagine, how many articles currently sit on the internet containing this article's title. To my surprise, with the help of AI, I just learned that there are only 2 authentic Blue Moon photos; "NASA took a new "Blue Marble" photo of Earth in December 2022, the first since the original...

Walking and Chewing Gum; The Literal Interpretation
Apparently politicians of all stripes have a serious problem with basic motor skills based upon how often they accuse each other of being unable to walk and chew gum simultaneously. Just this morning I watched a very important Governor from a very important state accuse his opposition of this affliction. Instead of criticizing each other,... Continue Reading →

Drunk Elbow or, Hazardous Jigsaw Puzzle Assembly.
This past Tuesday as I was about to, or so I thought at the time, go to sleep, an excruciating pain suddenly flared up in my left arm. I could also feel my heart beat accelerate up to 225 beats per minute. Fortunately, we have a quality heart monitor device so I strapped that on.... Continue Reading →

Obesity
Obesity falls under the heading of a pandemic. A Pandemic is defined as an epidemic which spreads over multiple countries or continents. Biologists can create vaccines for physical ills but, there will never be a vaccine to cure obesity. The cure lies in awareness, education, and our commitment to changing our behavior. The following is... Continue Reading →
Formaldehyde, Epoxy, Resin, and Wrinkle Free, Can you say “Class Action”?
Back in April of this year, I published an article detailing my battle with skin rashes. Looking for a name for the rashes, I found something called "contact dermatitis" which is very close in appearance. https://wordpress.com/post/bobzodyssey.com/302 The article was intended to humorously explain how I deduced from the locations of the rashes that the cause...

Happy
Learning How to Retire. When I first began my blog, I made a deliberate attempt to avoid revealing my age. Who is going to want to read what old people have to say? But when the essence of my blog is my life’s story, I realize now how dumb that was. I’m 76 years old... Continue Reading →
Sheets
100% Cotton --- Almost. I’m so proud of myself. I figured out last December that the reason I was experiencing serious skin irritation all over my body was the alleged 100% cotton sheets we were using. The locations of the rashes on me corresponded exactly to my sleeping position. I always sleep on my right... Continue Reading →
What are the Odds?

The new numbers look at lot better than the old ones. The odds of winning??? --- Not so much! As I arrive at the park, I rest at a... Continue Reading →

Sunday Morning Stroll
It’s a beautiful Sunday morning --- nothing but happy thoughts. Due to the swimming pool being closed on Sunday’s, a long walk is the second order of the day, not the first. The first order of the day is still caffeine and nicotine. With that out of the way, time to walk The first stop on my route is... Continue Reading →

I wish I could write simultaneously while assembling a puzzle. I was, just a moment ago, attempting to assemble the most difficult section of the Springbok puzzle shown below. Specifically, the upper left-hand corner had me stymied. Taking one piece at a time, which might be a match, as I normally do, and attempting to find the correct... Continue Reading →
Redux: “Pleased to Meet You”
Why am I publishing this one again? Because it's my blog and I'm particularly proud of it. Puzzling (the verb) is becoming a large part of our lives now that we are “social distancing”, which is not new to me. I experienced a lot of it in high school for many reasons unrelated to any...
