Audio Books I have purchased and read in 2005!

Yes, dear reader, today I present to you a list of the titles I have purchased from Audible.com, downloaded, and listened to in my car via my iPod. This wonderful odyssey began with a gift certificate from my wonderful, smart, beautiful, talented, diverse daughter, Theresa Nelson.

Here are the titles I have read, and my brief evaluation, beginning in December of 2004 and right up to the title I downloaded today:


Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates by Tom Robbins
I read Still Life with Woodpecker and Even Cowgirls get the Blues years ago. This guy (Robbins)is offbeat to say the least. That's why I like him. Like some other authors, he's not afraid to say the F-word and I like that in a book movie or television (HBO). If it's censored in any way, I lose trust for it. It's that simple. This book is a romp with unexpected surprises and many changes of location. On a scale of 1-10, it's a 6.

The Memory of Running by Ron McLarty
This book, my first purchase in 2005 is my favorite. The hero is a fat, depressed, bumbling, alcoholic who is carried along by a strange series of events. As he travels across America on a bicycle, a wonderful adventure unfolds. If you read one book this year (and I don't think this is available any other way than audio (p.s. Ask me about how to get ahold of this book) READ THIS BOOK. Rating: 10

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
I generally don't like "Science fiction" books but this one is a keeper. The husband is a "time traveller" who is magically transformed to random periods in his life uncontrollably. It is poignant and romantic and mostly interesting.
Rating: 8

The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown
Well, if you read, you kinda hafta read this book. There was just so much Buzz about it. I'm glad I did. Rating: 7

Skinny Dip by Carl Hiaasen
This was the first of several books by this author that I read this year. He definitely has a formula that works for me. He is funny, outrageous and keeps things moving with characters that I really like. I will read everything this guy has published by the end of this year as long as it's over 8 hours (one of my rules for book purchase). Rating: 8.5

Double Whammy by Carl Hiaasen
Didn't I tell you I like this guy? I read two of his books back to back. Rating: 8.5

The Human Stain by Phillip Roth
This book was so forgettable. I can't remember any details from last March. Rating: 3

Second Glance by Jodi Picoult
This one has a supernatural component to it. I bought it looking for something romantic. You will note that I frequently searched for romantic novels in my quest for the perfect romantic novel. I didn't find it here. Rating: 4

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
This one was exquisite! This is another MUST READ. It's the story of a young girl who lives with a cold, abusive father in the south and who runs away with her big, fat, black housekeeper to an exciting adventure that lands her in the home of a woman who raises bees. Rating: 10

What Comes After Crazy by Sandi Kahn
Ok. This is part of my quest for romance. This book is what I imagine sells well with women. It is overly dramatic and just way too "female" for me. Yes, I know the "female" reference is poor. I just don't know how to describe it better. I see myself as having a highly developed feminine side but this book makes me wonder whether I'm full of doody? Doodie? Duty? Doodee? How DO you spell that? (Ass-product!) Rating: 4

The Fourth Hand by John Irving
I have read The Word According to Garp and The Hotel New Hampshire, two of my favorite novels of all time, by this author. This novel did not disappoint. It is quirky and the story is one you would not imagine in a million years. It also has plenty about sex, this being a quality endearing to me. Rating: 9

Where the Truth Lies by Rupert Holmes
Have you heard of the "Pina Colada song"? Well this guy not only wrote and performed that, but he also wrote this. I don't remember it well. It was another unsatisfactory attempt to find "romance". Rating: 4

Echoes by Danielle Steele
Lookin' for love in all the wrong places.........actually, this wasn't the wrong place. This author is a good storyteller and I'll probably read more by her. I think I've read other Steele novels before but they are just "eye fodder" and pretty pedestrian. Rating: 5

Women in Love by D. H. Lawrence
Ok. This guy is literary giant. He wrote "Lady Chatterly's Lover" for cripes sakes. I'm lookin' for love and I had to plow through, like 28 hours, of this thing. All without one mention of a vagina or anyhing. Sorry kids. Your old man is, well, like that. Rating: 1

Ain't She Sweet? by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Love for sale! Sweet, juicy Loooooove for sale! Uh, what movie did that come from? Anyway, the quest for love hit a homer here. This was a great page turner, it was funny and it was romantic. Bravo! Rating: 8

Skin Tight by Carl Hiaasen
My third read by this author and he succeeds again! Skink! A reccurring character, is a winner. How can you not love a guy who relies on road kill as his main source of meals? Rating: 8.5

Match Me If You Can by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Yeah, you guessed it. I've found another favorite author. This book about a woman who is challenged to find a wife for a famous sports agent is romantic without being formulaic. I loved it! Rating: 9

A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
This guy was dead for many years before his mother convinced anyone to publish this jewel. Talk about quirky! I have come to hate these "romance novels" where the men are all these tall, dark, handsome, well-muscled, emotionally unavailable, detached creatures who do no wrong except keep themselves totally emotionally separate from their lovers. Is this what women want? I guess it's no surprise that I don't have groupies stealing my underwear.....
The main character of this book is epic. I loved this book. Rating: 10

Stormy Weather by Carl Hiaasen
Looks like my fourth book by this author. I may have to begin reading his shorter works but I'll hold out for more like this as long as I can. All his books take place in Florida and are not only hilareous but keep you guessing. I'm really on a roll here.....Rating: 8.5

A Delirious Summer by Ray Blackston
This is what you call "payback" for a guy who likes sex and the f-word. The main character in this book is so chaste that he doesn't even kiss anyone for the first 4 hours of this "romance". Um, Ok. You CAN have romance without sex.......or can you? Well maybe you can. Mine involves sex....sooner than 4 hours. Seriously, this book would be great for someone much holier than me. I kept waiting for the guy to boink someone and lets just say that he doesn't have a penis or else he doesn't know where to find it? Sorry again kids. Maybe not reading dad's blog is a good thing? Unfortunately, this is what's behind the green curtain (obscure Wizard of Oz reference.). If you want to read a book about "romance" where kissing is the sexual "end of the line", read this book. Used dishwater! Rating: .5

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
I picked this book because it was on the top of the Audible.com Fiction list for a long time and because the religious-oriented reading group here at St. Norbert is reading it. After the first couple hours, I wasn't sure I wanted to read more. It was so painful. The way that the hero treats his faithful, unconditionally-loving, servant and boyhood companion, it was genuinely painful to read. I shied away from this book for a long time because I didn't think I wanted to read about Afghanistan. I was wrong. This book has the potential to make you a better person. This book should be a classic when it has had more time to be "discovered". Rating: 10

The Delaney Christmas Carol by Iris Johansen, Kay Hooper, and Fayrene Preston
OMG, this is what I get for looking for "romatic" books. I will never waste my time or money on a book from one of these authors if I can help it. This book is a Christmas past, Christmas present and Christmas future trilogy about characters who are part of the "legendary Delaney family". Excuse me while I barf! The man-heros are all rich, powerful, aloof people who get what they want. They CONQUER their female objects rather than "fall in love" with them. Oh, but the women are so happy to be bedded by someone so RICH, MUSCULAR and DETACHED.
I haven't vomited in more than 18 years but this book pushed my limits. Rating: 3

Toxic Bachelors by Danielle Steele
I'm currently listening to this. It's so predictable. Maybe I'll stay away from this author.....?
Temporary but maybe permanent rating: 4

Villages by John Updike
I've read the Rabbit Run! series by this author back when I used to read paper books. This book promises to be "very sexy". I told the Audible.com search engine that I wanted to "get intimate" in "more than 8 hours". Rating: ???? This will be my first book of 2006. I have purchased the Audible Platinum account (24 credits for the price of 20) and look forward to another year of "wanting to be in the car to listen to my book".
Thank you so much, Theresa, for making my commute productive again.

Happy 2006 everyone!

Ciao, babies!!

We have moved!
Well, Ok, we didn't change houses, we did, however, change bedrooms. Yesterday, we moved from the northwest bedroom (one window facing north) to a southeast bedroom. This is the bedroom that Geoff occupied during the past year since he graduated from UW-Milwaukee. He is officially moved into his new residence at 1234 Monroe Street in Oshkosh and is ripping it up so that he can make it his own.
The old bedroom was a little bigger than our new bedroom but it's negatives included being about 5-10 degrees cooler than the rest of the house and just always so dark and dreary. Further, it still has the purple (YES, I said PURPLE) walls that it had when we moved in in 1976 and even though we had some plumbing done about a decade ago, the toilet and sink area still have the primer that the carpenter left on the wall and the enclosure for the sink has never been stained. While having a toilet and sink right in the room (oh there is a nifty shower curtain to provide "privacy") is convenient for when your "old man" bladder needs relief at 3 a.m., it's not so hot when wifey decides to take a monster dump just before bedtime and the whole room reeks. That poupourie spray just doesn't cover the damage caused by a major poopfest. Now, of course, when I take a highly ceremonial POWERDUMP, it smells like little baby rose petals, doesn't it? MmmmYaaaassssss! Uh, huh!
Our new bedroom has many advantages. It has windows to the east and to the south so it has much better light. It has been newly painted by Geoff last year. It has new carpeting. It has a new ceiling fan/light that Geoff installed. And, most important, it is about the same temp as the rest of the house in the winter. We'll really start to appreciate this when it gets down in the single digits and lower outside. In the old bedroom, you HAD to keep your arms under the covers. It was just a couple degrees above "see your breath". That's not really bad for sleeping. It IS bad for getting dressed and the little electric space heater that we used really didn't do a whole heck of a lot to help.
Last night, after we moved our stuff into the new bedroom, we moved the kitty tree that Theresa and Robin made and gave to us into the old bedroom. The two kittens, Bernoulli and Napoleon, instantly took to it. They located themselves up on the top level and stayed there for hours even though we kept the door open. But they only spent one day and night there.
Tonight, Geoff came home after work and picked up the two kittens. They will live with him in Oshkosh. We will miss them in some ways and are relieved in others. No more attacks on the corn plant. I wonder if it will even survive. No more climbing in the Christmas tree for Nappy. No more cat fights between Smokey and whichever one of them she could corner. But also no more darling little purring machines. No more cute wrestling with each other and racing around the house a million miles an hour. Now it's just George and Liz and two old dogs and two old cats.
Yes, I did say two old cats!
I brought Murry in last Wednesday. First, I took her in the basement and cleared an upholstered rocker off for her. I made a litter box out of a cardboard box and a garbage bag. She began using the litter box right away. Liz was concerned and rightly so, that she might have some disease or fleas so she asked me to put Murry in a room where the other cats could not have contact with her. I did so, putting her in with the water softener on the south end of the basement.
But tonight, with the kittens gone, I moved Murry up to our old bedroom. It how has a TV, a treadmill, a bed and a toilet and a sink. Murry has a nice place to sleep on a couple of pillows on the bed which has been covered with a plastic sheet just in case she turns out to be indiscreet with her pee-pee habits.
I have made an appointment at the veternarian for next Saturday so we'll find out if Murry is a) really a girl and b) healthy and maybe even get an idea of how old she is. Then maybe she can join the rest of the pets as a regular housepet with all the rights and privileges of the Possley household.
Liz and I have no special plans for New Years Eve although we'll probably have an early feast of shrimp and go to bed early. It's not such a big deal to stay up until the new year anymore.

That's it for now. Happy New Year, everyone!

Ciao, babies!

There's a new geek in town! This is Francis Beaumier, my new Macintosh Geek and soon-to-be Lab Consultant Manager.


This is the only chapel on Lax Chapel Road. I am very curious about its history.


This is Spanky. He shared my office as my student employee for 4 years. We had more good times in that office than I can count.


This is Smokey. She sleeps here all day.


This is Napoleon. I call her Nappy. She loves to climb the Christmas Tree.

Isn't she cute?

Graduation photos and Christmas photos

This was a busy weekend. Saturday, Liz graduated from Cardinal Stritch University with a Master's degree in Instructional Technology. Saturday evening, we exchanged gifts. Sunday, we went to mass, had a nice ham dinner and then moved four vehicles and one trailer's worth of stuff to Geoff's new house at 1234 Monroe Street in Oshkosh. Enjoy the pictures. They are pretty much in the reverse order of the weekend starting with three pictures taken at Geoff's new house. Ciao and Merry Christmas, Babies!

My Commute as a Gift..........

The thought just hit me the other day. I've been driving this 65 miles each way every work day for the past nine years. I tell people I love my job but that the commute is a b****. It takes ol' George a while to wake up and smell the coffee. It finally occurs to me that, contrary to what I've programmed myself to tell people (yes, I am a people pleaser and tell them things I think they want to hear) the time I get to spend in the car each day is a blessing from God.
Wisconsin, as you may not know, has this wonderful Four Seasons thing going for it. Fall is one of the most beautiful of the Four. I find myself stopping more often to take pictures of the sights I see. I stopped at the Lax Chapel (at least that's my guess as to what it should be called cuz it's on Lax Chapel Road and it's the only chapel on that stretch of asphalt) this morning and attempted to take a picture with our Canon digital camera. When I pressed the power button, the lens popped out but the display did not light up. I guess the batteries must be too weak. So I snapped a couple pictures with my Treo 650. I never realized how handy it would be to have a camera/phone/mp3player/palm pilot. Oh, I WUV you little Treo 650!!

Since I'm sitting at the help desk working for the Man, St. Norbert that is, I can't post the pictures right now. Maybe I'll edit them into this post later. Then I'll have to edit out this text. Oh gosh, what a waste this is.

Hi. I'm back. Work interrupted me. Imagine that. I have a headache. Lucky I remembered to fill the little ibuprophen bottle in my portable pharmacy from the huge bottle (Liz: Why did you buy such a huge bottle?)

Hey, I finally got ahold of the Lake Wissota Inn and made a reservation for Dec. 24 and 25. Hope Big Al has his Santa suit out of mothballs.

Oh boy, in 20 minutes, I'm no longer the Help Desk Guy. I won't be the Help Desk George either. (One of my colleagues is named Guy and people constantly confuse the two of us.) They call me Guy. I don't know if they call him George.

Guess I'll wrap this up now. I have to go install Thunderbird email for Nick Humphreys after my shift. His wife's login ID here at the college is humpme. Now if that doesn't at least cause a slight grin, YOU NEED TO LIGHTEN UP!!

Ciao, Babies!!

Sheeeeeeeeez Baaaaaaack!!!

Yes, Murry is back. A few days ago, the dogs and I were making our way back into the house from our 5 a.m. walk when I heard meowing coming from the west. I let the dogs back into the house and then went back outside to investigate. It was very dark and I thought I might need a flashlight but one was not handy. As I went back outside, the loud meowwwwing continued and out from the garden strolled MURRY!! Imagine my surprise. She has not been around since, oh, I'm thinking the first quarter of this year. Cuddles had her kittens on Lizes birthday and I think Murry went away about that time. She wanted nothing to do with those kittens.
Well, Murry is back and she seems no worse for the wear. I called Summers' our back door, across the field neighbors, and they said no, she is not their cat, they don't have a cat, and they had not been feeding a cat. All I can guess is that maybe Murry was living at one of the farms on the hill to the west of us.
I have been feeding Murry for the past several days. She shows up when I walk the dogs in the morning and greets me when I get out of the car upon arriving home from work.
Welcome Back Murry! Of course, now we have two dogs and three cats in the house. My heartstrings will tug to bring Murry in the house for the winter but questions remain to be answered. Would she take to being in the house? Would she pee all over the place as Liz fears? Would Smokie attack her like she does the little kittens? Would Murry possibly have fleas or other disease that she could pass to our existing indoor cats? These are all things to consider carefully.

Now about Cuddles.....Those of you who read my blog know that I took Cuddles to the Humane Society and promised to check up on her. I never did. My conscience is ok on that. I did what I had to do and I was just too busy to try to "watch over her" once she had been delivered to the SCHS (Sheboygan County Humane Society). Shortly after I took her there, there was a front page piece in the Sheboygan Press about how they were so over-stocked with cats. This made me a little nervous but I just didn't have the energy to check up on her. It was probably for the best. I have more cats than I know what to do with as it is. She was a semi-wild stray cat and I did see that all four of her kittens were adopted.

Oh, more on that adoption thing. My neighbors, the Bosslers, adopted two of the kittens, the brother and sister of our two females, Nouli and Nappy. They decided to keep the kittens in their garage and let them be "outside cats". Well, about a month ago, they disappeared. Dennis and Sharon, of course, were upset and don't know what happened to them. They think someone picked them up. What can you expect when you keep cats outside and don't put any ID tags on them?

Our kittens are still a holy terror. They stay in Geoff's room every night. Geoff is only here about one day a week to do his laundry. He continues to look for a house. When he finds one and moves away, will he take one of them or both? I think he should take both although we will miss them. They really seem to need each other and they love to chase each other and roughhouse together. Of course, we will miss Geoff too when he leaves but we have been granted a wonderful and unexpected period with him since he graduated. I thank God for every day that he is with us and I wish him nothing but the best as he looks for a dwelling that he can call "home".

Yeah, about that......that HOME thing....
I know I still considered 400 West Main in Thorp, WI to be my HOME long after I lived here in Hingham with Liz and our family. But, that changes. It must. Our parents must die and if we are lucky, they go before we do. We mourn them but we must move on. When we sold the family home in Thorp several years ago, it had been vacant for many months and we were very grateful to be able to finally sell it. Now, I drive by when I'm in Thorp (not very often) and, of course, it looks different and it FEELS different to look at it because it is just a place and "you can't take it with you". It is, however, always difficult to let go of "things".

Finally, from the "maybe you better not read this if you are family" file, I THINK I have located an old college girlfriend, Mary Stephens. I have thought about her often over the past 35 plus years since we broke up just before Christmas in 1968. I never figured she'd still have her maiden name since she was very attractive and since she had shared a desire to have a family when we were making those plans during our 6 months or so together. Of course, having a family does not necessarily mean being MARRIED. Of course, in 36 years, a person can be married and divorced several times.....not that she was or is. Mary is an artist so all "standard bets" ar off. So let me tell you where I am.
I did a search for her on Google. As I poured through the hits, I happened upon an obituary of a Ruth Stephens who died early in November a year ago in Port Washington. It said that she had been married to a Leo Stephens. This, I recalled, was Mary's dad's name. It said that Ruth had children Brenda in Milwaukee, Terri in Port Washington, Mary in Fish Creek and Michael in Florida. I remember that Mary had an older sister whose name was Brenda and a younger brother whose name was Mike.
Doing a search of Mary Stephens in Fish Creek, I find that a Mary Stephens is the owner of a store called What Next?, a clothing store with locations in Fish Creek and Bailey's Harbor. This Mary Stephens is mentioned as a clothing designer. Mary was an art student when we were together and, well, that's design.
So, I sent an email to an address listed on the website for the What Next? store but so far have not received a reply. Then, I called the Fish Creek store the other day at about 9 a.m. and left my cell number and my first name. The message said that the store hours didn't start until 10 a.m. I waited nervously after 10 a.m. but have not received a call back.
At this point, I don't have the courage to call her home number, which I found doing a Yahoo People search. I plan to send her a card. Go ahead, call me an idiot. If she does not reply to my card, I plan to "call off the search" for now. Of course, should I find myself in Fish Creek, ......Oh, I don't think I have the courage to do that.
I just think it would be interesting to meet her over lunch or something and "catch up".
I did locate Nick Dvoracek, another of my old college friends, several years ago. He lives in Oshkosh and works at UW-Oshkosh as manager of their Media Services department. We exchanged a few emails but, so far, have not gotten together.
Another old college friend that I would like to find is Mary Beth "Lefty" Schultz. She was married and divorced from Tom Butzke of Kewaskum (?) for awhile but I have no idea what ever became of her.

That's it for now....interesting how I can start out telling you about cats and get off into the "train that runs through my head".

Ciao, babies!

OMG, it's been since July that I posted anything here? What can I say? Not much, I guess.
Life is good. I didn't do too well in the County Golf Tournament this year. I was the highest finisher out of the money and I was beat out for two hole prizes by the same guy who was playing in a three-some behind me. He also won the tournament. Nonetheless, I had a great time golfing this year. My clubs are in the basement now. I don't anticipate playing again until next spring.
I've been enjoying football this fall. The fantasy league I'm in with a bunch of other recovering guys has been a lot of fun.
I watched the Badgers beat Purdue this afternoon. While the Packers have struggled thus far, the Badgers have been a great joy to root for.
I won't see the Packer game tomorrow. That's very unusual for me. I'll be in Kenosha speaking at a workshop that focuses on Service to AA. I can speak to that off the top of my head. That's fortunate as I'm not much for preparation although I do have a little Powerpoint that I've put together for speaking about Public Information, the Area 75 committee of which I am chair.
Fall has been wonderful for my commute. How many people stay in their little "trough" and never get out and take a ride to view the beautiful colors? I get to do it 5 days a week.
Work has been enjoyable if a little boring. Though I have a lot to bitch about, I haven't gotten in any trouble lately. I hope to keep that up.

Lets see if I can load some pictures off my Treo 650 to give you a little thrill....

This is Chelvan. He is one of my co-workers. This was taken on 9/23 on the 9th hole of the Garden Course at Wander Springs golf course. The sun was very low as we finished our round. Chelvan and I went out a couple times once school started but not a lot. He is a golf fanatic like I am but less experienced. He was born in Malaysia and has only played golf for about 5 years. He is on a quest to break 50 although he has already done it. He normally shoots around 54 for nine holes and that's very good for someone with so little golfing experience. He is an advocate of "Natural Golf" and even has bought the special grips they sell. My favorite golf memory with Chelvan was the time at Thornberry Creek in the rain when he used his 8 iron for the last time. He swung on a par 3 that has a big pond in front of the green, the club flew out of his hands and landed in the middle of the pond. He went without an 8 iron for several years until I gave him a used one this year for his birthday.

Here are Nouli and Nappy in the window of Geoff's room. We had the "kitty platform" thingie that Theresa and Robin made and gave us in Geoff's room. The kittens liked to sit on it and look out the window. They almost always are in the window when I am coming home or leaving for work. We are eventually going to have them stay out in the utility room and basement when we are sleeping or away from home. That, however, hasn't happened yet.
Geoff is home about one or two days a week so they still stay in Geoff's room.
Geoff has been looking to buy a house in the Oshkosh area. So far it's just at the looking stage.


This is a picture of Nick, my nephew, that I took when I visited him in Stevens Point. I gave him my old PC so he'd have a computer in his room. That was after maybe two weeks of school. He said he was enjoying it (school) a lot. Thus far, he hasn't used the computer to email his uncle George. :-(

Here's a picture I took last week when I went for a short bike ride over lunch hour. It is a little grotto that is located next to a dorm and right next to the Fox River at St. Norbert College. It was a beautiful sunny day and I stopped to meditate briefly remembering that I had prayed to Mary on the day that I interviewed at SNC. I am grateful to have such places closely accessible to me. While I hate to use the word "perfect", I don't have to wish for another job in my life to be better than this one. I like it in so many ways. I'm in my 10th year and I still thank God often for this wonderful opportunity.

Finally, here is a picture of a large fungus that fascinated me. There were several of these growing near a place where I park on campus. This one is as big as a small cantaloupe. It's fun to have a camera in my phone. Now I just have to get brave enough to stop the car and take some of those pictures that I see as I go by in the morning......oh, well, progress, not perfection.

Ciao, babies!!
