Big V Mumbles About Something

This will be short. I have spent the last couple hours thinking of the difference of knowledge and wisdom. A lot of people wander through life thinking they are one and the same. Some of us know that isn't right. Two things come to mind: "Admitting one’s ignorance is the beginning of wisdom.” -... Sign in to see full entry.

Another long weekend, this one with double duty, behind me. I'm thankful I took our rained off weekend to do a couple interviews and wrote a few things in advance. I went to bed about 4 AM and was awaken about 8 by a phone call. I must admit a naughty thought came to my mind but I answered it... Sign in to see full entry.

Back when I was a kid, my Father would take my oldest sister and me out on the grass in our yard, far away from all the lights of the city and the barn and we would lay out on a blanket and look at the night sky. He would point out all kinds of things to us, including those new fangled things they... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm meeting a cool, moist, heavily overcast day as I prepare for the weekend in local sports.

Don't let my racing fans know this but we have a decent sized thunderstorm moving in from the west and the possibility of 80% showers all day Saturday and I am hoping like crazy we rain off. It's not that I don't like the racing but I have been running in five different directions lately and could... Sign in to see full entry.

I was talking to a very old friend of mine and I mean old! She is currently 102 and only a few days from being 103 and appears to be picking up steam. I was at her home and was reading her some of the stories I've written, something she really loves. I told her how I post them here in small bites... Sign in to see full entry.

Between writing for hire and writing for myself and working on the final stage of my new office, I've been busy. I added about 1600 words to "The Touch" and about another 1000 or so into my hired work. We've got about another ten sheets of paneling to add to the office and the ante room of the...
