Big V Mumbles About Something

I worked on and off today writing and organizing and mowing the grass. It was a whopping 58 here today, so I didn't do a lot outside. I did manage to get my files in order to make my writing a bit easier once I got around to actually do the stories on both the drug issue and the outdoor stuff. Over... Sign in to see full entry.

The past six weeks have been a whorl wind of activity for me. My move to Newberry in Michigan's UP is finally complete. I'm still setting things up and sorting out all kinds of stuff that I had forgotten I even had. Some important memories have been located and I am thankful for that. I spent a lot...

I've been slow getting back into the saddle of daily posting here. My life continues to be crazy, but I'm got a good handle on it. I suspect by the middle of September, I'll be settled in to the new house and I will be able to devote much more time to write. My time here will be rather spotty for... Sign in to see full entry.

I post this in response to some comments over on my previous post about my racing write ups. I won an award for this article. Even as I read it again today, I find my eyes getting damp.

It doesn't happen often, but my local newspaper printed one of my race results columns on-line. I put out a results thing every week in three different formats (short to long) for newspapers, websites, and 'blogs.' Naturally, they printed the shortest possible version on their website.

Well, my unexpected 'vacation' is over, but I had some interesting things happen. I made a last minute decision to do a ten day tour of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for my up coming series of e-books I've titled "Wandering Across Michigan's Upper Peninsula." I spoke with at least a dozen park... Sign in to see full entry.

From where I sit, I can hear the traffic on the highway a quarter mile or so down the little dirt road we live on, but here, it's quiet. These things never happen when I have my camera, but I went out to walk with the dogs and spooked out a pair of spring fawns. My dogs are quite large, but even... Sign in to see full entry.

I should probably be posting this over in my "Let's Write!" blog, but it's a holiday so I'll post it where ever I want! This is another video I am going to include in my ebook about my adventures in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I love waterfalls so you are going to see numerous videos in my...

I put up a nearly 2000 word post of "Things My Father Taught Me" to last the for the entire weekend. I'm not going any place due to the monster traffic headed north. I had to go out this morning and decided that it wasn't worth the possibility of dying to go someplace 350 miles away in that snarled... Sign in to see full entry.

I've noticed some thing that bugs me here lately, not that anyone cares. I usually write my stories in Word, using "Bookman Old Style" in a size 14 font. I'm blind as a bat, so I figure if it bugs me to read tiny print, it has to bother others. Any way, when I copy a piece of my work into the pages... Sign in to see full entry.
