This is the audio about the day of our wedding from my book, 'I Remember Judy - A Lov Story.'. It is just shy of 24 minutes long. http://streamnetradio.com/audio/Finally.mp3?fbclid=IwAR1zXSohYF44VXQep-Ufp2pxZ1tDFLDs9ZyQe7dPzySqjXmJNWjtLjnjv3c Sign in to see full entry.

I can already see that I'm going to have reword my 'cancer' story preface. I'm still going to do this as a two-tier story, but I want to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic. That happens with writing in general, and various things that I have done in the past. I start out with one intention,... Sign in to see full entry.

I ain't kiddin' ya, this 'newspaper reporter' job takes up more of my time than my writing 'job' some days. I started writing columns for the various newspaper and websites about 9AM this morning. Add in three calls, two in and one out because someone hadn't sent me the right information, and I've... Sign in to see full entry.

The winged Sprint car series at the track that I am live streaming has 24 cars on hand and as or right this moment, we have 9,383 simultaneous viewers. It's far from a viewership record (my biggest event was July 20th, 2014 when Tony Stewart was there) but it is third best of the season. Sign in to see full entry.

A better start to the day. It's race day, and by now I suspect you all know what that means. Other than a quick run with the dogs, I will be tied up with making sure everything is falling into place. I have a 'producer-in-training' so that I can spend my Saturdays here doing what I want to do.... Sign in to see full entry.

As long as I am in the 'confession' mode, after running the dogs I sat down to begin the short story that Pat and I discussed in the post below this one. Working title in my files is 'Down and Out in Suburbia.' It won't be that when it goes into the book. LATE NOTE: I surprised when I checked the... Sign in to see full entry.

Da Yooper Weather Forecast and Some Real Personal Stuff

It looks like we might recover from yesterday's return of frigid weather. The high yesterday was a whopping 57 with a healthy breeze coming off Superior. Today is predicted to be in the upper 70's. I'll take it. My friend had to head home this morning to get back to her life, but hopefully she is... Sign in to see full entry.

A Short Trip To The River This Morning

I probably should put this over in my photo section, but I'll post it here anyway. I never get tired of walking along the Tahquamenon River, so I took my friend and my dogs along the river again. As we crossed a sandy area of the river bank, I began to see a lot of freshly dug holes. It didn't take... Sign in to see full entry.

This is a race write-up I did for last Saturday night. With paper editions getting smaller and smaller, I have a word count limit of 618 words. If I remember, this one had 617. You have to be careful with your words to make word count. Hemingway would be proud! Sign in to see full entry.

We've had a cold front move through the area, breaking up the warmth that had been overhead for a week or so. It was 42 again last night and currently, it is 55 headed to 64. A pleasant 25 mph wind is coming in off Mama Superior, making it jacket wearing weather. I got a lot of stuff done yesterday... Sign in to see full entry.
