Anne is out at a Cancer Society Survivors meeting each Tuesday evening this and next month. It starts a 6 PM & goes to 8, so she'll be home soon. I had a busy day with a writing workshop, followed quickly by lunch, then ping pong...

Tuesday is My Busiest Day

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 4 Apr 23

I get up by &, eat & shower, then check email and start getting ready for a 2.5 hour virtual poetry workshop. There are usually five or six students (I'm the only man) and we do a lot of reading with writing breaks and...

What a Busy Day

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 3 Mar 23

Because more cold weather is predicted, I decided that pot roast would be a good idea. I had the roast and all I needed except onions. We are never out of onions but I made quick trip down the street to buy some, came home and...

Beautiful December day in Oregon

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 10 Dec 18

The sun rose early and gloriously, so I grabbed my camera and took some photos, then checked myLot. Then, after breakfast, I even vacuumed while Anne cleaned up in the kitchen. I went to the nearby grocery store for a few things,...

A night of loud downpours

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 27 Nov 18

There was no thunder last night, rarely is in Oregon, but several very loud downpours woke me and they have continued today, then the sun comes out for twenty minutes and it warms up nicely. I decided some additional exercise was...

Ping Pong crazy

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 3 Jul 18

Thinking of expanding my ping pong horizons beyond our one table club house where eight to twelve men and women play three days a week, I went on Saturday morning to this city run sports center in a neighboring town. There were...

After playing at some length in the back yard with my daughter's Chihuahua (who thinks the world of me ) on Sunday, I woke up on Monday with a knot on the back of my left heel that made it uncomfortable to have my foot...

Here we are at another Monday

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 7 May 18

I never liked Mondays when I was a working person, but even being retired they have their own unique quality. For instance, there is an (even) older guy who drives around our community picking up newspapers every Monday to...

Have you played beer pong?

archiekins @ivanituut (1933) 13 Apr 18

When my friends celebrate their birthday, we always play beer pong because it's a fun thing. To play it you need to shoot ping pong ball to the other side which your opponents cup and if you shoot it right there in the cup, your...

Oh, my aching back!

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 19 May 17

I guess I bent over from the hip too long doing some yard work the other day. A spot in the lower right side of my back has been hurting of and on since then. I am taking an Aleve daily, using ice and doing some good yoga...

I heard the yard man muttering under his breath

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 30 Mar 17

I could hear him really well, because he is me (or I to be correct). He was saying bad things about the used lawnmower I bought last year. He wanted to lower the blades to cut the rapidly growing spring grass a bit shorter, but...

Fasting today, but not by choice

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 5 Dec 16

I am scheduled for one of those miserable medical exams tomorrow, the kind where you can't eat all day before and then have to drink about a gallon of nasty tasting liquid in the evening and then you can guess what happens. The...

It's Wednesday, the coolest day we have had so far

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 16 Nov 16

The day started with a 7:30, hour and a half staff meeting at the store where I work very part-time. I was up too early, then back home to help out some since Anne is still supposed to be off her feet as her leg heals. She has...

Update: The cake came out great!

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 17 Oct 16

Well, the toothpick I stuck in came out fine, but the cake could have used another three or four minutes. It is just a little too moist, maybe due to the four apples I used. But, I am hear to tell you that it tastes great. I have...

Looking for my unfinished poetry and an apple cake

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 17 Oct 16

A member of the local poetry group I formerly belonged to for about five years stopped by the birdseed store yesterday when I happened to be working. She is quite a good writer and always liked my work as well. Talking to her for...

Someone beat me to it!

Fleur @Fleura (35022) • United Kingdom 4 Oct 16

I like to play table tennis (ping-pong) – not in a serious way but just for a bit of fun – and I always fancied having a table. Of course our living room wasn’t big enough, but I had the idea of making a large hatch between our...

The ping pong ball changed color again

youless @youless (114117) • Guangzhou, China 14 Aug 16

Long time ago the ping pong ball was white. But several years ago it changed to orange. I guess perhaps it was good for the visual effect from TV. But this Olympics I noticed that the ping pong ball changed to white balls again.
