While it is race day, the forecast is calling for rain in central lower Michigan developing this afternoon. The crews have all been given their instructions and I think everything is set. I love racing, but I'm tired and a day/night off would allow me to catch up on a few things that I have slacked... Sign in to see full entry.

A Special Blurry Photo
I was down along the Tahquamenon this afternoon with the dogs and happened to find a semi-freshly dead fish; a six inch perch to be exact. I don't know why, but I picked it up and tossed it into the middle of the river. Suddenly I hear a flapping of wings, and I look up to see this huge male bald... Sign in to see full entry.
It's the day before 'race day,' and I'm already getting calls and emails about what we are going to do. I've set up two interviews for my intrepid crew to do, given them and the interviewee's the questions so there is no stuttering and 'ah... ahhh... ah-ing.' The season is winding down and while I...

Writing the ending to this cancer story has been difficult, but after getting stirred up about the story about my wife, it was much harder. I have most of it done now, I just need to clean it up. It's there, but as Gloria Estefan sang, 'The Words Get In The Way.' I'll get it together and have this... Sign in to see full entry.

I fully intended to work on at least one of the three stories I have in progress, but I sat down to watch 'Live PD' at 8 PM. I think I caught about 30 to maybe 35 seconds of it before falling asleep. I woke up about 7:15 AM, still a bit tired. High anxiety I guess. The summer is just blowing by me,... Sign in to see full entry.

Just A Song Before I Go, To Whom It May Concern - Part 94
I got word this morning that the man who spent time with me on Saturday was admitted to the hospital during the middle of the night with some type of heart 'distress.' I'm not sure what that term means, but his wife did manage to tell me that he is not doing well. I could see that Saturday. I'll... Sign in to see full entry.

LOL... It's Monday, and by gosh, it's a more than typical Monday. No kidding... 14 calls so far and it's only 11 AM. I started to post and have been interrupted several times. The dogs want to go out for a run and at this point, so do I. Back in a bit. V Sign in to see full entry.

LOL... I was just making a post about how frustrating this day had become when I accidentally closed the wrong browser tab and I erased a two paragraph entry. That should sum up my day. Too many phone calls talking about things that didn't pertain to me, but they were trying to get me involved in... Sign in to see full entry.
Yesterday was a nice day despite the late afternoon showers. I didn't get to do much of any writing, but I got to see an old friend and hopefully gave him something to remember. He looked terrible physically, carrying that gray-ish skin appearance that tells me that he probably won't live much... Sign in to see full entry.
