I forgot. Today is the day that I speak to the 'young authors club' at the local high school. The teacher just called me to ask if it was 'alright' if some of the other teachers and kids who are 'somewhat interested' in writing could also set in to listen. SURE! She thought I might be nervous if... Sign in to see full entry.

It was -8 degrees last night, but it has finally hit +2, on its way up to 16. I just peeked at the 15 day extended forecast, and save for two or three odd man out days, the temps should stay in the low 30's for highs and low 20's for lows all the way through to March. I'll not argue about that! I am... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm off doing some writing. It's colder than sin here (currently it is ONE DEGREE!), so wandering around outside just for the sake of doing so is stupid. Think about this: If someone wastes ten minutes of your time, at least eight minutes of that time is your fault. Back soon. V Sign in to see full entry.

I Share Something Deeply Personal With You
This could and should go in one of several of my other blogs, but I need to get this where it will be read. This story was soul cleansing, and maybe what I needed to do get writing again. It starts out one way, but ends up with a totally unexpected ending. It wasn't until I was finished that I... Sign in to see full entry.
I've got some business to do outside today, but after this afternoon, it will be all about staying warm for a few days. Tomorrow's projected high will be about 7. The low, depending on who or when you listen, will be about -10. Yep. I made some progress on listening to the Audible stories I have in... Sign in to see full entry.

Hmmm. This came to me. I may use it as the opening to a short story. I find myself at a crossroads in my life, and for the first time, I think I'm afraid of where I am. Sign in to see full entry.
I know (at least I think I know) that no one here works for the Capital One credit card company, but I have to post this rare situation. I made a brief post about this happening late in January where some dirtbag had compromised my card to well over $500 over my credit limit. I don't know how he did... Sign in to see full entry.
It's supposed to get bitter cold here starting tomorrow for two days, but then warm back up to what has been the norm for this winter, temps in the high 20's and low 30's during the day, and in the low 20's and high teens at night. I can handle that. I've got to run over to the Soo to get some... Sign in to see full entry.

SPOILER ALERT: I'm in a weird mind state this morning. Reading this could make you wonder if I'm still teetering on the brink of sanity/insanity. Seriously. I think I irritated an acquaintance of mine early this morning. She asked if I had watch the 'Hollywood awards show' last night, and then took... Sign in to see full entry.
