I got a phone call that the surgery was being performed. I didn't get another phone call until last night that lasted about five minutes.

Yet I was busy until things stopped on the first of July. So I went back to work today for a final two-week push giving me August off before the new school year begins. There will be a lot of new students b...http://denver.yourhub.com/Lakewood/Blogs/Archive/Blog~497579.aspx7/18/2008 10:14:23 PMRobert White I dropped into a Thursday night modeling group the first couple of weeks in May. Then the group had a two week break. By that time I was working on Thursday's and had enough work coming up that I didn't get back to the group through the month of June. So last night I took some pencils, a pad, ...http://denver.yourhub.com/Lakewood/Blogs/Archive/Blog~494983.aspx7/11/2008 10:35:53 PMRobert White Sorry. As far as my exkabrating research takes me, there is nothing beyond Plan A and Plan B. From there on, it's sort of like looking for the end of the universe. The last time I talked to my ex a week ago, she said they were still working on Plan A. So far, Audrey, my 44-year-old daughter ha...http://denver.yourhub.com/Lakewood/Blogs/Archive/Blog~494131.aspx7/9/2008 11:03:20 PMRobert White A substitute for Plan A which, for some reason, didn't work out as originally planned. Hence, the need for Plan B. Problems are not worth analyzing. When the numbers in a Sudoku puzzle goes astray, what's the purpose of trying to figure out why? My theory is to wad it up and toss it into the tr...http://denver.yourhub.com/Lakewood/Blogs/Archive/Blog~493591.aspx7/8/2008 9:38:52 PMRobert White It comes down to this one simple but important fact.

It was Christmas of 1945 that my mother gave me a diary. I had no idea of what to do with the thing. It must have been a five-year diary as it only had about three lines to write on per day. So I gave it a try for a couple of weeks. "Played with the dogs." "Snowed this afternoo...http://denver.yourhub.com/Lakewood/Blogs/Archive/Blog~487750.aspx6/23/2008 10:13:57 PMRobert White I was 15 years old. My father got a television set somewhere and set it on a table in the corner of our living room. The day Channel 2 turned on their signal, we had a fuzzy picture on a round green screen. It was probably a used Dumont television set. Now, approximately 55 years later, I still...http://denver.yourhub.com/Lakewood/Blogs/Archive/Blog~486742.aspx6/20/2008 5:21:05 PMRobert White Will the real social psychologist William Szlemko please stand up. Thank you. Your conclusion. Drivers who personalize their cars with stickers are cars to watch out for.

It's simple. Never hire a salesman who is chronically depressed. I can't remember how many things I've tried to sell: door to door, in an office, and over the phone. I was never successful selling any of them. But one old salesman gave me the a...http://denver.yourhub.com/Lakewood/Blogs/Archive/Blog~484209.aspx6/15/2008 9:30:39 PMRobert White Next week Audrey is going back to the hospital for her second operation. The doctor was 90% sure he said that the first surgery removing malignant particles from her right breast would be successful. But there are no guarantees in life.

They don't underst...http://denver.yourhub.com/Lakewood/Blogs/Archive/Blog~484076.aspx6/14/2008 8:40:51 PMRobert White I've worked over a dozen different jobs in my life time but being an artist model has to be the oddest one. The Rev. Robert Whipkey has been charged with indecent exposure. I'd be laid off if I refused to take my clothes off.

My vision never extended in that direction. It's just that there's always at least two ways of looking at a thing. ...http://denver.yourhub.com/Lakewood/Blogs/Archive/Blog~481437.aspx6/9/2008 11:42:32 AMRobert White After looking at the two 6's I had written in the horizontal row of today's Sudoku's puzzle, I got to wondering who in the world rated these ancient torments. Did a mathematician one day show another mathematician this convoluted puzzle, then tell him "Be wary. This puzzle is hard. But I'm going...http://denver.yourhub.com/Lakewood/Blogs/Archive/Blog~481171.aspx6/8/2008 3:36:16 PMRobert White After messing up another two Sudoku puzzles this morning, I decided it was about time to find out if there was ever a chance of me getting one right. So I got on a bus and got off at the nearest psychic I could find. The psychic was having a special this week. You know, read your palm, look int...http://denver.yourhub.com/Lakewood/Blogs/Archive/Blog~481079.aspx6/7/2008 2:05:31 PMRobert White I wonder how many people go to the dentist once a year to have their teeth cleaned and examined? I go twice. Why? Because Elizabeth , the dental assistant, puts me on her schedule. Then she sends me a postcard the first week in December and the first week in June. She's been doing this for a...http://denver.yourhub.com/Lakewood/Blogs/Archive/Blog~481018.aspx6/6/2008 11:34:45 PMRobert White Not everything in life goes right. Even after 70 years, I sometimes have a hard time remembering that. Yesterday, my oldest daughter, Audrey, had surgery in San Diego for the removal of breast cancer. Since I first heard about the cancer a couple of weeks ago, I've heard a number of stories ab...http://denver.yourhub.com/Lakewood/Blogs/Archive/Blog~480389.aspx6/5/2008 4:38:15 PMRobert White Before you scoff at the alien evidence brought out by Jeff Peckman at a press conference yesterday, shown on TV last night, and in the Denver Post today, I have one thing to say. Stan Romanek is the real deal. He doesn't hunt aliens. They hunt Stan and I'm not kidding. Why are they hunting him? ...http://denver.yourhub.com/Lakewood/Blogs/Archive/Blog~477551.aspx5/31/2008 2:14:39 PMRobert White My father-in-law, Michael T. Frederics, was the one who explained the deal to me. He started out working in mines in Tennessee, was in the military for a short time, and by the time he was 30 and living in Denver, he and his two brothers were millionaires. But that didn't involve the deal. It i...http://denver.yourhub.com/Lakewood/Blogs/Archive/Blog~477197.aspx5/30/2008 12:51:14 PMRobert White I haven't worked gigs since I finished high school. Today ended the working part of the month of May. I posed for approximately 35 hours this month. The jobs and locations were varied.

Other times, it would be with one and sometimes several people ...http://denver.yourhub.com/Lakewood/Blogs/Archive/Blog~476218.aspx5/28/2008 8:53:54 PMRobert White I still remember a night almost fifty years ago when I first visited my soon to be father-in-law. He was an avid pool player and considered himself an expert at the game. I'd played the game myself. Maybe a half dozen times at most. He racked up the balls. Then within seconds, the triangle of ...http://denver.yourhub.com/Lakewood/Blogs/Archive/Blog~475550.aspx5/27/2008 3:47:05 PMRobert White What do you do on a holiday? Me, I revamp my blog. I'm tired of writing 50,000 words in 30 days and going through boxes of stuff I've written 50,000 years ago. I'm tired of diaries. I'll leave them to Bridget Jones.
