While I knew him well in the real world, I don't have any details. He was doing wonderfully the last time we spoke. I know he would want me to update his blog as that was his first thought when he was ill last time. He was always thinking of you all.<br />
<br />
He made everyone he met feel like the most important person in the world. He was smarter than most but never talked down to anyone. Heaven will be a brighter place with you in it.<br />

Sitting around the Thanksgiving Dinner table waiting for someone to say Grace,<br />
the host thought it would be a 'Hoot' for weird Cousin Dale to have the honors.<br />
Looking somewhat bewildered, he bowed his head and proceeded...<br />
"On this blessed day, please let us give thanks for the very stretchy nature of<br />
yoga pants...Amen."G-Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14968807697181554781noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819635251895015897.post-12951772817739804002014-11-20T18:39:00.000-05:002014-11-20T18:39:27.391-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well Well Well.....Look what the cat drug in....G-Man!!!!!!<br />
You know for 6 glorious years, Thursday nights was the highlight of my blogging week.<br />
At 8:00 PM EST or EDST, I posted my weekly Flash Fiction Friday 55, and invited<br />
any interested party from Blogdom to join the fun. I have met some very talented and<br />
wonderful folks along the way, and I was honored to host the bevy of talent that participated.<br />
These past few months starting in April with my daughter and son-in-law visiting from Poland <br />
where they now reside, I knew that I couldn't devote the time and energy in the upcoming<br />
months to do the Meme justice. So sadly I passed the torch on....<br />
But I will say that I used my extra time to work hard, relax, and do a tremendous amount<br />
of fishing. car sales has been awesome, and I have a freezer full of fish!!! I miss blogging<br />
and maybe this Winter I'll be around a bit more. <br />
One of the very talented people that I've met and you all know is Laura Hegfield from..<br />
Shine the Light Divine. Every year about this time Laura puts together a Gratitude Quilt.<br />
It's offerings from fellow bloggers about what they are really really thankful for at the moment.<br />
With Thanksgiving in a week, she makes you stop and think about what this very<br />
American Holiday is all about. It's not about Black Friday sales, or kicking off the Christmas<br />
shopping frenzy, it's about Family, Friends, and the Joy of Living.<br />
Please visit Laura at...www.shinethelightdivine.com/<br />
Contribute to her quilt please, it doesn't have to be artsy, just honest and heartfelt....Thanks<br />

Hi Everybody...Remember me? Galen Haynes aka...G-Man!!<br />
It has been a very busy Summer this year at work.<br />
In spite of all the negative publicity the auto industry has been getting, our sales has<br />
been booming! Needless to say we have been jammin...<br />
With little time left for personal recreation, most of my spare moments have been<br />
used persuing my favorite pastime...FISHING!<br />
Reese, myself, and my life long fishing buddy Jim Shephard, have been fishing the<br />
bountiful Saginaw Bay. From junk-fish to the fabulous Walleye (Sander Vitreus), <br />
we have had a fantastic time reeling them in. <br />
I miss all of my blogger pals, but I don't miss the deadlines and time consuming blogging<br />
obligations. I suspect that when the foul weather returns, I'll return (somewhat anyway)<br />
to my blogging ways. But for now.....Fish-On!!!!!!<br />

Hi everybody, all back safe and sound with a brief synopsis of my recent journey...<br />
<br />
Entered the lovely and picturesque state of Maine.<br />
Sought out and FOUND a local grocery store. ( markets are very small in Maine )<br />
Cooked up a swell lunch of the local fare.<br />
Visited a Pub in Bar Harbor that had a very strange name.<br />
Marveled at the majestic beauty of Acadia National Park.<br />
( Repeated pics 2-5 on a daily basis for a week )<br />
<br />
Enjoy and share any Maine-ly moments that you might have with us...I'll be around .<br />

Hi Everybody.....!!!!!<br />
<br />
What a month it's been since my last post. In all my years of blogging, this has been<br />
my longest hiatus yet. First of all seeing my daughter and son-in-law for 10 days<br />
was GREAT!!! We had lots of fun and storytelling and enjoying special craft beer.<br />
Then my best friend Alex's wife Janice lost her two year battle with breast cancer last week.<br />
Needless to say......Highs and Lows!!!<br />
I hear that Flash Fiction 55 has been regulated to the first Saturday of the month, I'll try<br />
to keep abreast of that situation. I hope that all is going well in Bloggerville, I'll keep in touch.<br />

Hi Everybody....<br />
My daughter and son-in-law are flying into Chicago on Tuesday from Poland.<br />
They are very frugal kids and it was lots cheaper to fly into O'Hare than it was<br />
to fly to Detroit Metro. Of course they weren't thinking that it's a four hour drive<br />
from Flint. I'll be taking Wednesday off as well. they will be home for 10 days.<br />
Please join Mama Zen on Tuesday for Flash Fiction 55. .......<a href="http://mamaneedsshoes.blogspot.com/">http://mamaneedsshoes.blogspot.com/</a><br />

When my daughter Amanda attended The University of Michigan, she spent her Junior<br />
year as an exchange student in Prague Czech Republic. It was then that she fell in love<br />
with Europe and their laid back lifestyle. When she graduated in 2009, she married her<br />
local boyfriend Sean, and together they set out for a great adventure.<br />
They lived in Prague for a year, teaching English at the University. A better opportunity<br />
came up in Istanbul (not Constantinople) and they lived there about 2 years. I really felt<br />
uncomfortable about her living in a Moslem country being an American and all, so they<br />
moved to Poznan Poland where they have resided for over a year now. I have not seen<br />
her in person in all that time. On April 22 they are coming home for about 10 days!!!!<br />
I miss her terribly. She was my First-Born...My Princess. I can barely contain my excitement.<br />
Today...April 11th is her birthday.<br />
Happy Birthday Manny, Daddy loves you very much!!!!!<br />

Soon the ground will be a kaleidoscope of color....Soon.<br />

"Whats he doing now"?<br />
Nothing!<br />
"What"?<br />
Thats right, he works, goes home, snacks a bit, falls asleep. Goes to bed.<br />
"No Thursday Portraits? No Friday Funfest? No Nothing?"<br />
Nada. Loafs around with no blogging obligations at all.....<br />
The sort of General Malaise that only the Insane Possess, and the Genius Lament!<br />
Ha!....You know, he does seem to have a few Dr. Evil qualities.<br />

This week is The G-Man's Friday Flash 55's Swan Song.<br />
Please don't be sad, I'll still be around to bother and harrass my Blogger Buds.<br />
Hosting this writing prompt has been one of the greatest honors of my life.<br />
I've met and have read some of the finest talent on this planet, and I thank you all.<br />
The love and well wishes that you all have bestowed upon me is overwhelming.<br />
Please give the next hostesses all of the creativity and respect that you have shown me.<br />
You Guy's Rock....See you Thursday.<br />

<br />
'So...Ya think he's sick'?<br />
<br />
"The G-Man? I don't know...Physical sick or Mental?"<br />
<br />
(They both chuckle)<br />
<br />
'Health-wise sick'.<br />
<br />
"Naw, I heard he's just lookin for a change".<br />
<br />
'SOME CHANGE!! First he gives up his beloved season football tickets.<br />
Now he's giving up hosting Friday Flash 55. Whats next, selling his Harley?'<br />
<br />
<br />
Ha! As a matter of fact......Maybe so!<br />
Yes folks, NEXT week will be the last time that I'll be hosting Friday Flash 55.<br />
The transition will be smooth and easy. I'll be announcing the Heirs Apparent soon.<br />
If you are thinking about selling your Harley, or have written a Friday Flash 55<br />
Please come tell The G-Man<br />
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment.....Then BOOK!<br />

Time is running out.....<br />
After Hosting Friday Flash 55 for nearly 7 years, the G-Man will be passing<br />
the Hosting Torch on starting the first week in April.<br />
That means you all have only TWO more times to tease, dazzle, and create for me.<br />
I'll be announcing soon who will be taking over, and I"m sure you'll LOVE my choice!<br />
But for now, I'll hope to see you Thursday Night 8:00 PM EDST.<br />

<br />
Sometimes you wonder.....<br />
Do the affluent people buying those huge gas-guzzling SUV's actually pay<br />
attention to the price of gas?<br />
Do the Goobers in the blog "The People of Wal-Mart", know how ridiculously<br />
gross they look to others?<br />
Does Michelle Bachman know how stupid she sounds?<br />
Why do some people never know when to STOP.......Or Let Go?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Fortunately, some people DO know when to let go.........<br />
If YOU know when to let go, or have written a Friday Flash 55<br />
Please come tell The G-Man<br />
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment.....Then BOOK!<br />
So from the most gracious host from coast to coast<br />
Have a Kick Ass Week-End!!<br />

After two 55 degree days, THIS is what I wake up to!!<br />
I'm so disgusted I can hardly think straight.<br />
My three seasons room is buckling from the snow on the roof.<br />
I hope it hold out till Friday when it's supposed to be 40.<br />
Hope to see you Thursday Night 8:00 PM EST<br />

It's funny, you can be cruising on the same old road for years.<br />
But sometimes you need to take a detour.<br />
Hopefully these new routes all lead to the same place....We shall see.<br />
I have a couple of changes in my life coming up in the next few weeks.<br />
I'll be sharing them with you all soon.

He eases in behind the wheel, and takes a deep breath. Reaching to turn on <br />
the ignition, he hears the rising crescendo of impending horror.....<br />
"feed me....Feed Me.....FEED ME"!!!!!<br />
Yeah, they're waiting. Concrete jaws agape. Waiting to sate their unholy hunger<br />
