After what we've been through the last few months, you'd think that a low of 'only' 10 degrees would be nothing, but I most certainly felt it last night! The wind coming in off Lake Superior was ferocious, giving us a wind chill of about -15. It is supposed to abate tomorrow, and then be steady in... Sign in to see full entry.

Updates
I'm back from my trip. I wanted to spend more time there, but the wind off Mama Superior was sharp and bitter. It felt good to stand near the falls and just listen to the roar of the water and see the beauty that surrounded me. I feel better. For those reading my murder story, I noticed that I had...

It's the weekend and naturally, it get colder. I just looked at the local radar, and if it is to be believed, we have a small snow storm moving in. Nothing that will add inches to the snow already on the ground here, but enough to make it gloomy, but I won't succumb to that mood. Life is too good... Sign in to see full entry.

Last night in Grand Rapids, President Trump assured the citizens of the "Great Lake State" that he would fully fund the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and back what ever it takes to keep the largest bodies of fresh water in the world safe from pollution and other problems.

I received the first few chapters of the audio book version of "I Remember Judy - A Love Story" last night. I haven't had time to listen to them yet because I was on the phone until far too late, but I'll on them shortly. I have high hopes for this story on Audible. Speaking of Audible, I still have...

Man oh man, I've had a busy morning. Besides the two, soon to be three columns that I write every week, I just caught the attention of a major presence on Twitter who had his office call me about joining my Roku broadcasting network. As the Doobie Brothers sang, " It Keep You Running! " but I love... Sign in to see full entry.

This Should Be in My 'Let's Write' Section... But Who's Counting?
Whew. I just wrote and posted 2700 words in my murder story.. This section both sets the tone of the love affair on one side of the road and circumstances for the tragedy ahead when they meet the man traveling on the other side of the road, each unknown to the other... so far. Agatha Christie has... Sign in to see full entry.
Just A Song Before I Go, A Lesson To be Learned

I am constantly reminding myself to listen to them. - Michael Chiklis If you have read me or my writings at all, you'll know that I had a Father that always went the extra mile to teach me...

After what felt like a bitter cold night (a low last night of 5), the UP is looking to hit a steady run of high 30's to low 40's for the next two weeks. Who knows? We might even melt most of this snow by late May or early June! My four foot high back yard chain link fence is still only ten inches... Sign in to see full entry.
