Oh my goodness! It's still snowing! We have collected over 18" of snow today. I got stuck in my own driveway because the wind caused the snow to build in all around and under my car. Whew! It took a lot of shoveling to get that thing loose. My free joke of the day: I saw a billboard driving through... Sign in to see full entry.

BREAKING NEWS! It's starting to snow here. Again. It's a Yooper joke. It snows virtually every day here, so on those rare days you don't have to spend ten minutes cleaning teh snow off your car, it is a day to rejoice. On the plus side, it is almost 30 degrees out there. For those who actually... Sign in to see full entry.

It's much warmer tonight than it has been for days. However, the wind chill brings the ambient temp of 24 down to a 'feels like' of 9 degrees. Yippie. We also have another snow storm moving in late tonight that is projected to give us another three to six inches of snow. Double yippie! I know it... Sign in to see full entry.
It wouldn't be a complete morning without a dozen phone calls. Good grief. I sold a business to a guy who I knew was in over his head. Now, I still run the business, but he makes the money. I told him that I was at the end of my 'free advisor' capacity and from today on out, I am a 'paid advisor.'... Sign in to see full entry.

A Yooper Joke
Whew! We added roughly 14" of new snow over the last 24 hours. We were down to our last 20" and in desperate fear of running out. Last winter, the last snow pile in my yard disappeared on May 25th. I've had and am still getting a barrage of calls this morning. Until I return, I leave you with this... Sign in to see full entry.

This mornings offering in my 'rewrite' section is a view into the agony I felt as our lives fell apart in the summer of 2014. Everything went wrong. I was devastated by my inability to stop the avalanche of problems that began that summer. I've never seriously considered suicide, but after the... Sign in to see full entry.

It never got very warm here (~22 for the high) and it got to be quite slippery. I heard about a number of 'fender benders,' but I was smart enough to stay off the roads. I took training in driving an emergency vehicle, but the clown driving 25 mph too fast for conditions probably didn't. I got some... Sign in to see full entry.
We all have various 'New Year Resolutions' that we hope to obtain for the upcoming year. Typically, mine have been to write 'six to seven number of short stories of 15,000 to 25,000 stories' and to get at least two '50,000+ word novels.' Typically. Yeah, I'm back to whining about my current... Sign in to see full entry.
