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.

 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!
