The Life and Times of Jim
Hi, there. I'm Jim. Welcome to my phlog!
This site was written for Las Vegas, then LouisVille. Now, it seems to be about anywhere. In these phlogs, you'll see a lot of my personal notes and pictures. I like to post my observations here to remember life and celebrate it. I'm not religious. I don't pray for good fortune. I'm ecstatically grateful for the gift of life and I think our time should be remembered and not taken for granted. I'm not a writer. I think pictures tell stories so much better than words. I love just about everything in this life, and, I guess that would have to include you. So, if you've seen me, don't be surprised if your picture is in here somewhere. Of all the critters, people are absolutely the most interesting.

I've heard these things happen, but I never thought it would happen to me.
No hard feelings, its the nature of this beast which I have learned to love so well.

Very nice day!

 jim  Johns Last Day at Work
Today marked the end of his one year contract that was exciting, fun, and successful.
I watched as John walked down the catwalk, headed for his last shoe shine.
I slipped by his apartment complex and put a Leather car scent on his car door as a small reminder of our friendship.
I'm all alone now, and I'm in a spot where they may either keep me longer, or not.
Peter landed a contract in Delaware. Great going Peter!

 jim  Aphorisms
APHORISM:
A SHORT, POINTED SENTENCE THAT EXPRESSES A WISE OR CLEVER OBSERVATION OR A GENERAL TRUTH
  1. The nicest thing about the future is . . . that it always starts tomorrow.
  2. Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail.
  3. If you don't have a sense •of humor, you probably don't have any sense at all.
  4. Seat belts are not as confining as wheelchairs.
  5. A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you're in deep water.
  6. How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night?
  7. Business conventions are important . . . because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate without.
  8. Why is it that at class reunions you feel younger than everyone else looks?
  9. Scratch a cat . . .. and you will have a permanent job.
  10. No one has more driving ambition than the teenage boy who wants to buy a car.
  11. There are no new sins; the old ones just get more publicity.
  12. There are worse things than getting a call for a wrong number at 4 a.m. - like, it could be the right number.
  13. No one ever says "It's only a game" when their team is winning.
  14. I've reached the age where 'happy hour' is a nap.
  15. Be careful about reading the fine print. . . . There's no way you're going to like it.
  16. The trouble with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size bucket.
  17. Do you realize that, in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos in strange places? (And rap music will be the Golden Oldies!)
  18. After 60, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you're probably dead.
  19. Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind . . . . and the ones that mind don't matter.
  20. Life isn't tied with a bow . . . . . . . but it's still a gift.
