Just Yakking... and A Kid's Joke

Good morning! It's a beautiful day so far, and I'm hoping the rest of the day will continue to unfold just as well. If you've watched my posts go up this morning, you can see a massive passage of time from the first to this one. "Unannounced People." They drive me crazy. It wouldn't occur to me to...

From "The Porch Light Is Still On"

Something in the Stillness The following morning arrived without fanfare—no grand declarations. No whispered confessions across tangled sheets. Just the sound of the kettle clicking off and sunlight brushing against the curtains like it had been waiting for permission to come in. Marcia stood at the... Sign in to see full entry.

A Word From Our Sponsor

Anyone who has even looked at this post area knows I have been posting a second story, a romance story, here, not so much to get readership, but to be able to double-check more than one story at a time. When I go back through to check the spacing and such, I look for flaws and storyline errors. Most... Sign in to see full entry.

From "The Porch Light Is Still On"

Half-Light The walk from the library to her place only took eight minutes. Twelve if they let the conversation wander, which they always did. On this night, they didn’t talk much. Marcia’s hand was still in his, and the silence felt like a mutual decision, not an absence. The streetlights flickered... Sign in to see full entry.

Now, The Usual Stuff - Including the Bad Joke

Good morning. It's looking to be a beautiful day, topping out at ~92. It was a strange night here last night. On the eve of the Fourth, and so far this morning, we haven't heard a single firecracker. Last year, it sounded like an artillery zone, but it's been absolutely silent so far today. Weird.... Sign in to see full entry.

My "Other" Story - Now Officially Titled "The Porch Light is Still On"

Better Than Music Chuck didn’t play the guitar. Not really, but he had always dreamed he had learned how when he was younger. He’d owned one in college and had learned just enough chords to impress girls. On nights when he had over-imbibed, he could fumble his way through “House of the Rising Sun.”...

988 and A Pathetic Joke

This is a direct pull from my FB page. Every Friday night, I make a post that says if you are struggling and need an ear, call me. Last night, I made this post: Some... okay... a few of you... ask me about my typical last post on Fridays. Some ask me why I do it, and fewer still ask me if I receive... Sign in to see full entry.

As Long As I Am Up... Here's Today's Romance Story Segment

I'll explain later after I get some rest. V Things You Don’t Say Yet Chuck was early. Not by much, maybe ten minutes, but enough to catch Marcia in that strange in-between where you’re ready but not composed. Her sweater was still in her hand, and her hair was twisted into a knot that looked more... Sign in to see full entry.

Wednesday, July 2, 2025

Good morning. As has become the norm here, I begin to make my various posts here, and the phone rings. It's in the mid-80s right now, but we're looking at 90 again until about 3 pm, then? More rain. I was reading an article on the website of my first and current publisher, once again, about writing... Sign in to see full entry.

Small Talk and The Love Story Continues! (And Another Bad Joke!)

Good morning. We had a series of light rainstorms overnight, making for a soggy backyard this morning. We may get a few more shortly. I've been busy editing the nine short romance stories and novellas. I had intended to post another substantial section of that story here last night, but I received a... Sign in to see full entry.
