Wanna Do a Show?
We lost power about ten minutes after my last post here this morning and it just came back up. In the mean time, we spent this semi-warm rainy day finishing the work on the garage. I think we've accomplished everything I needed to get done before the onset of an Upper Peninsula winter sets in. I...

I was out all day walking the trails and working in the house. I got a photo that I love and will share it tomorrow. Depending on your viewpoint, it will be either amazing or you'll ask yourself, 'Why did he bother?' I liked it, so that is all that mattered to me. If you've been reading "The Brick,"...

Thanks to those who wished me well. I'm feeling a bit better today. There has been a big flu bug going through the area, and while I didn't feel the best for a day or so, I didn't get it to the extent that many others I know did. It's allegedly going to 'warm up' a bit to the mind 40's today and 50...

Despite of how I felt... crappy to be exact... I decided to buck the cold, snow, and wind to go out to the Seney National Wildlife Refuge. OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!! Besides all of the nice fall/winter shots I got, I saw roughly nine separate eagles including a piebald (I think that is the name...

We've got about an inch of snow on the ground this morning, and the flakes are still falling. The forecast says we'll have a high of about 36 today, but tomorrow will be back in the mid 40's, so the snow will be gone. My dogs love it and spent twenty minutes playing in it this morning. I spent too...

See Ya In The Funny Papers
Just to give some of you more fuel for the fire that I am crazy, here is an idea that I am about to begin work on. As a kid, I loved comic books. My fave as a kid was " Sugar and Spike " but I went on to be a huge MAD Magazine fan. My son is an artist with remarkable talent, but he has a bad case of...

It's a bit warmer than it was yesterday, but we have had on and off snow flurries all morning. It's currently 39, which is about three degrees warmer than it ever got on Monday. I've been wanting to take a trip over to Munising to see several of the falls there plus walk along the Munising Bay...

Writing is easy. All we do is tear out our souls and turn them inside out for the rest of the world to see. Nothing to it.

It's getting closer. It's only fifteen days (and a few hours) before NaNoWriMo gets started. I've done the NaNo since 2002, which also by the way lead me to Blog-It. I didn't 'win' my first two NaNo's, but I've won every one since then. I learned something about writing consistently by doing the...

About 9:30 last night, our steady rainfall turned into a steady snowfall. By 10:15, we had about three inches of snow with a temperature of 29. The temp has broke back above freezing on its way to a high of 37 today, but it still might snow some more during the day. If you've been following 'The...
