Much quieter day here today. Thank goodness for small favors! I have to journey over to Holland, Michigan tomorrow and of course, what are they saying about the weather? Yep. A rainy, snowy mix. Fortunately, my destination is just off a main highway and the City of Holland is good at clearing their... Sign in to see full entry.

Some Days Are Diamonds, Some Days Are Stone
I'm going to try not to allow this to become a drama saga here but today was another where my wife was doing worse than I had hoped. Some of the hysteria that held her the day before has past but she is pacing all over the place and worried about 'something bad happening.' This is part of a cycle... Sign in to see full entry.

The Long and Winding Road
Today was far busier than I had hoped. My wife had a doctor's appointment that went from what was to have been a 12 minute visit to a three hour excursion into "What Do We Do Next?" As I have posted before, a year ago about this time, she was supervisor of a fairly large OB department. She passed... Sign in to see full entry.

Snow, Lovely Snow!
We just came back online here in my part of the boondocks in western central Michigan. How big of a boondocks are we in? I looked out the window and saw about a dozen good looking white tail deer in the driveway. I was going to get a photo of them but in my hurry to get my camera around, I... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Snowing But I Can Add To This One!
Internet went down early today after 14" of snow. Using cell to post! Hopefully back tomorrow! BUT..... My fictionalized story of "Am I Crazy Or Is That Ralph" is almost done. Two... three days more and it is done. I had thought about posting the third story that will comprise my next book but I've... Sign in to see full entry.

What A Storm!
So far we have gotten about eight inches of snow here in western central Michigan and the radar shows no let up in sight. All of the school systems have already called off school for tomorrow about 5PM tonight so you know it must be something good! I'm going to attempt to get outside and take some...

All Stocked Up!
Much like last week, they are calling for a good sized winter storm over Michigan. I look at the radar and I can see what looks like a lot of rain to the southern end of the storm and snow/sleet to the northern side of it. Barring that Lake Michigan doesn't make it buckle course much, I think we'll... Sign in to see full entry.

On A Personal Note...
Just spoke with my friend in the hospital. She had developed a very bad case of acities, or fluid in her abdomen. This was caused by a flare up of her Hepatitis C condition. Her now former husband was doing drugs and caught it and eventually gave it to her. Life isn't fair some days. They removed... Sign in to see full entry.

Feeling Better... In A Slippery Sort of Way
What ever I thought I had yesterday seems to have gone its own way and I was not sad to see it go. I looked out the window and found we picked up four or five inches of new snow during the course of the night and now it's starting to rain. That will bring the idiots out on the roads for sure....

Hello Mom? I'm Sick and Can't Work Anymore Tonight!
On and off all day today, I have felt less than great. I took some pain relievers and about a 90 minute nap that helped for a little while but I can see it is all wearing off again. I don't feel terrible but I don't feel good. I thought I was going to work on a short story that I want to finish in... Sign in to see full entry.
