Fixing, Painting, Writing - Rinse & Repeat

Good morning. It was another "Florida cold" night here, with temps dropping down to 28. It has warmed up to 48 right now, on its way to 72. That's a huge swing from night to day! I'm expecting a man here soon who will paint two of our 'spruced up' rooms. I am not a painter, so it's better to hire... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. I have to make a run to Valdosta this morning to see my cancer doctor. One of the incisions he made on my face opened. I had leaned over to pet one of the dogs, and all of the stitches pulled out. It was all right for a minute, and then it began to bleed, and bleed, and bleed... so, I... Sign in to see full entry.

Good afternoon! Ever have one of those days where no matter what you are doing, you should have done it twenty minutes earlier? That's been my day all day long. Nothing important, but enough to keep me out of my office. Life goes on, ya know? It got down to 29 here last night. We had lots of... Sign in to see full entry.

Good crisp December morning! I know it's not much compared to the northern states, but it was 33 here last night, and it is predicted to go down to 30 tonight. Joy. I have to be in Valdosta to see my cancer surgeon to remove several more big clumps of cancer off my face. I've already had over a... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. After a very wet weekend, it looks like the next ten days will be dry. The good thing about tis type of heavy, persistent rain is that it helps bring up the pieces of glass from some forty-plus years ago, when this lot was essentially the neighborhood junkyard. We can walk down the... Sign in to see full entry.

Lisa Needs to Wear Her Jeans & About That Sci-fi Story Post

Good morning. It started raining yesterday, late morning, and it is still raining. It got down to 39 last night, with a high of only 52... that's what I call "Florida cold." I had to let the dogs out, and when I came back into the bedroom (that we keep at about 75 degrees!), I told Lisa she would... Sign in to see full entry.

Bonus Post - New story

This is the opening chapter of a four-book story. I have the rough manuscript (ms in the 'biz'), and it ended up at a rather puny 220,000-word story. The meaning of the word 'empath' is bandied about like a burger wrapper whips around in a windy city. Its original meaning was 'someone who could pick... Sign in to see full entry.

Armadillos, Heaven's Light, and More

Good morning. It has been raining on and off here now for the last 36 hours. We hadn't had much rain lately, so it is a welcome thing. The family of the man who wandered into our home yesterday to thank us for getting him back home... and yes, I triple-check that the door is locked, all day, and... Sign in to see full entry.

The Neighbor Sees My Wife's Backside This Morning...

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.
