Good morning! The day got off to a funny start. Usually, the wife and I wake up about the same time, but instead of getting up and starting the day, we typically lie in bed, holding hands, hugging, and sneaking in a few kisses before the world (and dogs) demands we do other things. Neither of us... Sign in to see full entry.

Brrr... It's Florida Cold Again!
Good morning. Besides being a little cooler than usual, we have a rain system that is skirting just to the north of us... for the most part. We get occasional sprinkles, but that could change around four this afternoon. Currently, it is 45 with dark overcast skies. I'm remembering why I prefer... Sign in to see full entry.

Good chilly morning! It dropped down to 40 here last night, and while that might sound mild compared to the more northern states, the nearly 90% humidity makes it feel much colder. We will warm up to about 62, and life shall continue. I talked to a friend who lives just south of the Mackinaw Bridge,... Sign in to see full entry.

Night Moves and Our First Date
Good morning. Bob Seger's song, " Night Moves," has a line at the three-minute mark that described me last night: "I woke last night to the sound of thunder. How far off I sat and wondered..." Yeah, I love music, and when certain situations pop up, I almost always have a set of lyrics to go with it.... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. I managed to sleep in for an extra half hour this morning. The dogs stayed quiet, and that is always a good thing! In writing news, I FINALLY finished my novel in the genre of a modern paranormal sci-fi. It ended up at about 220,000 words, but after editing, it will probably be about... Sign in to see full entry.

Good Sunday morning. It got cool here last night, but it was much warmer than the night before! It's closing in on 9 am, and it's already 55, heading toward 80. I took the dogs out earlier, and then came back in to eat. Now, I have all four of them standing beside my desk, telling me they want to go... Sign in to see full entry.

One of the Hardest Stories I've Ever Written
Good morning! I hope you all survived "Black Friday!" We never left the house yesterday. Things will still be out there when the crowd settles down. Below is my attempt to tell how my wife died. It's been almost nine years, and it still hurts to even post this... but I did my best. I hope this moves... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. The day started out with something much colder than just "Florida cold" - it was actual cold. At 8 am, it was 31 degrees, with a very stiff north wind. Even the dogs realized it was cold. They went out, did what had to be done, and were back inside, cuddling with 'momma.' I have... Sign in to see full entry.

Have A Wonderful and Blessed Thanksgiving
Good morning! The dogs that usually always wake me up around 7 - 7:15 didn't stir until a little after 8... so I am immensely thankful for that! I've been working on a story they classify as "modern paranormal sci-fi" that I started a little over a year ago. I've been working on it steadily, and... Sign in to see full entry.

A Short Message
Good morning. Other than my regular three posts, I'm taking today and maybe tomorrow off to be with my wife and our dogs. Gratitude isn’t about having more — it’s about seeing more clearly. On this Thanksgiving weekend, may we all take a breath, hold our loved ones close, and remember how much we... Sign in to see full entry.
