Paladin and torch lighters

I just received the first season of Paladin: Have Gun Will Travel, my favorite childhood western! Huzzah!!!!!

I stumbled upon it while cruising Amazon for DVD sets. My heart actually skipped a beat - I had forgotten the joy that came with watching that series in the late 1950's into what? The '60's? Not sure. Anyway, it arrived today and I watched three entire episodes before deciding to move on with my evening. Cool beans, indeed!

Earlier today I ordered a torch lighter made by Zippo ... all on a whim to see if the heat of the flame changes the pleasure or not.

Hmm. The life of a single guy is just one little experiment after another.

Snow and winter blues

It's now officially winter, though in my heart, it has been winter for some time.

My girlfriend and I are no more and I am trying to figure out how to be friends in order to keep some connection to her. I am deeply saddened and feel all kinds of things about this. I had figured us to be "the shit" and that we would find ways to persevere through hardships and the ups and downs of life.

Now, I am alone and miserable. Couple this with the horrid holiday season and, yep, I got the Blues bad.
