The Old Man: Heading For The Ozone
http://bedfordotter.blogspot.com/2013/03/heading-for-ozone.html
Monday, March 18, 2013. Heading For The Ozone. Spinal fusion with instrumentation".sounds like a rock band, but really means they are going to slice into my back, remove a disk, roto-root out some stenosis that is paying unwanted attention to a couple of nerves, insert a metal cage filled with some dead guy's bone matter and then staple me back together. All this while I visit other planets in my mind, propelled there by medical miracle juice. See you later, folks. Hang in there and we will see you soon!

The Old Man: What's A "Maaco"?
http://bedfordotter.blogspot.com/2013/02/whats-maaco.html
Monday, February 18, 2013. Over the years, I've had a degree of experience with auto body stuff. I've done a little work with Bondo, and even painted a couple of cars along the way. My efforts have met with mixed results but never measured up to the professionals. Miss Alma was a different matter. One summer morning when I woke up, I asked, "What are we going to do today, momma". She answered in her matter-of-fact way, "I figured we'd paint the car". I have never heard this story before! Day by Lovely Day.

The Old Man: April 2013
http://bedfordotter.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 11, 2013. The Original "Big Mac". The Old Man is going to be working through this back thing for quite a few months, but I promise, I will not subject you to a constant barrage of medical information causing your eyes to glaze over and a united scream of "get a life" be mounted that can be heard by those aboard the International Space Station. Today's post uses some of this info as a "tie-in". Rest easy. There's Mac, front row-center with that ear-to-ear grin on his face. I note that ...

The Old Man: June 2013
http://bedfordotter.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 25, 2013. Mickey Mouse and The Preacher Man. The Old Man has a few "preacher genes" in his bloodline. Not to say they are particularly dominant, but when I look back through the haziness of memory and recall some of the stories I heard, coupled with a few experiences, some degree of order develops. Dad "rode the circuit" for many, many months. I remember the names of the churches; Mentow, Palestine, Radford, and Staunton River. I also remember that after each service, we were usuall...Dad f...

The Old Man: June 2012
http://bedfordotter.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Mom said that a "feller" she was dating before she met my dad would take her bowling. When she told me this, my attention wandered for a minute. Hearing your mom talk about dating someone other than your dad is kind of like hearing that Fats Domino has recorded the Hallelujah Chorus.it just doesn't seem quite right. I asked her, "How many did you eat, Mom? She said, "I ate five". Then she giggled and said, "I cost that boy a whole quarter that night". Tuesday, June 19, 2012. In Be...

The Old Man: July 2012
http://bedfordotter.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 4, 2012. Not All Fireworks Have To Be Lit. The Old Man is taking it a little easy today. Between the heat and the gun battle going on in my back, it's an inside kind of day. Productive output isn't on the schedule. Retrospection is. I've been visited by images of how the Fourth of July was when I was in my "Opie years". Mom would pack a huge picnic basket with c heese sandwiches, potted meat sandwiches, deviled eggs, and pickles. When we got to our front porch, Mom and Dad were hysterical.
