This and That

My meds have changed and THE BOSS has restricted me to the house until my body adjusts to the side effects……..meaning the WOO-WOOs have eased up. Back in my young and wild days when I was doing my level best to keep profit levels up at Anheuser -Busch I must admit that I frequently occasionally overindulged. This often resulted in what is commonly referred to as bed spin.

Now that I’m no longer wild and free much, much older, semi-tame, clean and sober for 20 years  an old geezer any change in my meds usually gives me a world class case of full house spins. This is the case today which is why THE BOSS has duck taped me to my trusty La-Z-Boy!

Since I can’t go out roaming around with the cameras I thought I’d delve into my archives and share some of my older stuff. Let me take you on a little trip across Virginia from the mountains to the sea.

  2. I really feel for you. Any new med, always have a big adjustment period. One thing I did once was take a tiny bit, and built up to the full dose.Great photos as always. Mom loved them. Thinks you ought to write a book!

  3. All of these photos are wonderful! Love the old train depot. I've had enough meds these past two months to qualify me as a junkie! Thank goodness now it's only tylenol and my bp med.

  5. You are surrounded by beautiful mountains for as far as the eye can see and by majestic seas at the seashore of your youth. The best of both worlds, I'd say.

    I hope your world stops spinning and you feel good enough to roam again with camera in hand.

  7. Those are great pics. But, I really was looking forward to one of you taped to the lazy boy!

    Hope your meds quit giving you the spins soon. My new glasses have me disoriented...so I can't even imagine what you are going thru.

    Happy weekend,
    I'm out tomorrow
