Unreal. Getting my power turned on in Arizona? In Texas, the battle is to stop turning it off. They won’t send my statements at the right time. So, they mark me delinquent and shut me off. I yelled, After two “customer service” agents who barely speak English? I had to battle but it got me restored.
Evert day that goes by, I miss my house. But I’m pleased I put Florida in the past. Bad stories and reports I finally got a good fishing report. Then an hour later the guy said “I drove an extra hour to make it happen,”
Five years since I spoke to my father, Strange feelings, I posted my second article on Dad

” Neil. You know how I felt about your Dad. Your latest: Another set of thoughts about the man. I think back. Watching the two of you together. At first, it didn’t look like much. I saw you annoyed with him. You went after him. That’s a nothing going at a legend. He told you to mind your own business. Not something I was used to. You turned your head and you said ‘yes sir’. Promptly, he basically gave me $500. He said that it never happened but he did it. Years later I was with the two of you. What I saw, he was happy that you were his son. You would obviously, as before, do anythiing for him. I loved you first. You introduced me to the man. I cry in general for no reason at all when I think about your father. I smile when I think of you (and I call you).
Thank you for your devotion. I regularly think about what I thought about your father. Then I think about what you thought about him. I am humbled. Literally.
I’m happy for you, not sad and your article reinforced that. Thank you for making my week: Possibly my year. I’ll always hold you in the highest regard, but like you, I loved Doctor Taylor.”
I get by. Life is different Texas is starting over in many ways. The big adjustment: The wind. The wind never stops here.
The Neil Blog, delayed again. Four weeks of computer problems. Also unreal. Bought a new one. It’s in it’s third time in the repair center…Just can’t get a computer to “feel tight” anymore. Typing?? Just not right, I’m not sure my computer problems are over just yet. Got it to start but it took a while.
Mom’s good, Plugging along. She loves the Arizona Wildcats. Good. She loves me. Better.
I am still in love. Now, I dream about her. Will she love me back? Well, she already does but Will It Happen? It doesn’t matter. It exists. Her name is Cathy. To me, she is Cathy Snyder.
Uncle Neil’s thought for the day: No matter how goofy the kid may seem, never ask him mother or father “so, what’s wrong with him?”
