Big V Mumbles About Something

It is difficult to imagine that 'only' 20-25 years, most of us didn't have Internet and most didn't think they would ever need it. Now that we have gotten used to having it and it has become a staple in our everyday lives, it is difficult to imagine life without it now... but I got the opportunity... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm settling into my new life, such as it is, and I'm finding solace in my writing. I went out in the woods today and besides the normal squirrels and such, I saw the big momma doe down by a small creek with her two twin fawns. She saw me like she frequently sees me in the morning but since I... Sign in to see full entry.

I was setting on the porch swing which, quite ironically, isn't on our porch but rather under a great big pine tree in the far back yard earlier today. I was sitting there, swinging kind of slow like when something caught my eye at the tree line. Almost as if emerging from a mist, I began to see... Sign in to see full entry.

First things first. Thank you to those who commented on my tribute to my wife. I appreciate it. I finally got back to working on "The Darkness" after a couple days of floundering.

A friend of mine bought me a really nice used desk at a second hand shop and then helped me set everything up in a new room. I'm not sure how this will work but I have to get started again. The old desk will be burned on the night of the Fourth. As I began to think about writing again, I spent my... Sign in to see full entry.

Well. I'm back... again. This is gonna be hard for me so bear with me. I don't just pop in, write some and then decide to pop away on purpose. The day after my last post, I went out to pick up some branches after a big wind storm. My wife, freshly 60, was playing a card game on my computer when I... Sign in to see full entry.

As the Memorial Day weekend rolls to a close, the sun finally breaks out from behind the storm clouds as the family prepares to go its seperate ways. While I didn't get much writing done, it was nice just to talk with the family. I hope your weekend was well spent. Regards, V Sign in to see full entry.
