I intended to be up much earlier than this, but as I was getting dressed for the day while the dogs were out, my wife told me, "You always are in your office early in the morning. Why don't you let the dogs in and lie with me for a while?" Now, that could be taken as a 'come-on' invitation, but when... Sign in to see full entry.

This Day in History January 28, 1986: The NASA space shuttle Challenger explodes. The morning of the aircraft’s launch was unusually cold, causing the O-rings that sealed the shuttle’s solid rocket booster joints to be vulnerable to failure. Officials ignored the risk, and fail the rings did. Adults... Sign in to see full entry.

About the bank fraud that happened yesterday, it was a good thing I was right on top of things. I had no more than changed all of the passwords when BoA called me back to say they saw someone was actively 'trolling' my account from inside the account. I haven't heard from them this morning, but they... Sign in to see full entry.

Bank Fraud!
AN IMPORTANT FYI. In the last three days, I've received several calls from people portraying themselves as bank reps. At first, the callers are friendly, but then they begin to ask for information that is crucial to getting into my accounts. Look... I see myself in the mirror every day, and there...

We didn't get home until after one in the morning. That wasn't the plan, but we were enjoying ourselves. You can always find reasons to be upset or depressed, but reasons to be happy seem to sweep past us. I was on a hard-running train of thought, but two calls and a visitor later, I've forgotten...

If the Weather Channel is to be believed, last night was the last of the 'super cold' nights we will experience for quite a while. Once again, we got down to 24, bitter cold for the humidity-heavy Florida air. In our old 'hometown' of Newberry in the UP of Michigan, it was -4, so at least we escaped... Sign in to see full entry.

Once again, the morning has been busy with several calls. The best one was from my publisher, The Fresh Ink Group. They have been wonderful to work with and very upfront with me. I sent them several chapters from the story I am posting here, and they really liked it. I'm getting closer to the end of... Sign in to see full entry.

A Jumbled Mish-Mash Hodgepodge If I Ever Saw One!
Good morning. The day got off with four calls in less than 45 minutes, none of which were important. Iffn ya haven't heard, there is a massive cold front coming all the way south of Orlando. I spoke with an author friend on the city's north side, and she said they had dropped down to 28. We were at... Sign in to see full entry.

The View From My Front Door
At 9 a.m., the temperature reached 29 degrees. This is the view of the church across the street from my front door. A lot of the snow has melted because the ground wasn't frozen. Joy Sign in to see full entry.
3:20 am. It's 28 degrees and we have just shy of two inches of crisp snow and it's still snowing. I'd like to say, "oh! It's beautiful!" but I try not to lie to myself. Good night. Sign in to see full entry.
