We went over to the church across the street this morning and met a lot of nice people again. They had about 35 people in attendance, but I suppose that is because there are about nine churches here within ten blocks of one another. There's not a lot on our agenda today. It's overcast with a light...

It was a beautiful night last night. The temps dropped into the low 70s with a pleasant breeze coming in the window from the Gulf. The high today will stay around 85, a significant difference from the highs in the mid to upper 90s we have had the last week or more. I wanted to 'sleep in' this...

FREE BOOK
We had a slightly cooler day yesterday and today is supposed to be nicer. Still hotter than sin, but cooler. We will be in the mid-80s over the weekend. I want to get the fake wood flooring laid down in two different rooms if it stays nice. I managed to get some writing done yesterday for the first...

A Reason to LIKE High Fuel Prices
It was a super hot day yesterday at 96 degrees and we don't have AC. We kept the inside of the house at a 'cool' 85, but as long as we sat outside in the shade of the trees on the south end of our property, it was rather pleasant. We didn't get much done, but we drank some ice tea, talked about all...

Cancer Claims A Friend
I think I mentioned that a good friend of mine from the racing world passed away at the age of 39 after a 16-month fight with cancer. I write the press releases for Crystal Motor Speedway in Crystal Michigan, and when wet conditions caused the track to cancel, I wrote a eulogy for my friend. Most...

It is supposed to be 97 today so that all but eliminates anything very strenuous after 11 AM. I began to hit a writing stride yesterday after I picked up an old writing project with the idea I would pick at it to get myself going again. 5700 words later, I decided my brain was working again. Now to...

We are supposed to be hitting a temp in the upper 90s today, so other than some quick work this morning, I will be staying in the ol' writing office, trying to get my writing duties caught up again. I've had to keep up my three sports columns for local (to Michigan anyway) events in racing and other...

A beautiful day in north Florida this morning. It's supposed to hit 88, but we are enjoying the morning. My brother is pushing himself into a very tight schedule. It's almost 11AM and he has to be in Michigan tomorrow at 2PM for an appointment with his transplant doctor. I suspect we will see him...

It's a quiet Sunday morning here. We can hear the church services across the street and we do our best to keep our dogs from joining in to make a 'joyful noise.' One of my dogs likes to 'sing' with them. I think it's pretty good, but I'm not sure if the church members like it. They were raised with...

It started to sprinkle mid-afternoon yesterday, but then it stopped, and I thought the much-ballihooed storm was gonna be over. Boy, was I wrong! It started raining again at about 8PM and it kept getting heavier by the minute. Our dogs are not usually upset by thunderstorms, but the intense thunder...
