Big V Mumbles About Something

Yesterday was a long day, but yesterday is gone. I'm waiting for test results of all the testing now. I'm not the type to worry and fret about things I can't control, so I'll be writing most of the day and the weekend. Today is kind of a holiday for me as from here on out, it is my second birthday.... Sign in to see full entry.

I've got to be on the road most of the day. One of my brake lines has given way to "Michigan Cancer," or in the normal vernacular, it has rusted out and I ahve to have it replaced. I then have to be at the hospital at 1:00 PM for a CT scan of an abdominal hernia that is going to need surgery. If you... Sign in to see full entry.

While I have given up doing all the things I've done for about 25 years at our local dirt race track (webmaster, photographer, local sports columnist), the one thing I've kept is the live broadcasting I do of the races. I do this at no cost... Sign in to see full entry.

Working with my grandson Johnny has been a blast. He will read a passage I have written and then want to 'correct the dialogue ' to the version of the conversation he remembers having with me. I tried to explain 'writers perjogative' and he told me he didn't believe in that. BTW Blog It staff...... Sign in to see full entry.
