A Note of Explanation

This will be a brief note. We are in Michigan after one of Lisa's aunts passed away 'unexpectedly,' or as 'unexpectedly' as one can pass at age 88. Fortunately for my wife, while this woman wasn't someone who immediately forgave her for her past, she did begin to talk with her again. This was... Sign in to see full entry.

Whew! We have a monster storm rolling through the area. The temperature dropped from 102 to 85 in about ten minutes. It almost feels cold! There is a lot of thunder and lightning with, making for a wonderful display of power and reminding us that despite how powerful we think we are, we are nothing... Sign in to see full entry.

This is supposed to be the last of the 'super hot' days we have for a while, making it to 100 before the rain hits us and hopefully bringing us cooler weather for a week or more. Right now, it is a mere 93. We need a break from the extreme heat, even if it is only for a few days. Two or three hot... Sign in to see full entry.

According to the thermometer in the car and the radio station, it is 104 here right now with an extremely high humidity level. That made the ride to and from Tallahassee a real joy! My original appointment was local, but we were sent to the bigger hospital an hour west of us. The news I got was not... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. I had to get up to let the dogs out (so the answer to that old song, "Who Let the Dogs Out?" is me... at 5:45 this morning.) so I figured I would do some work while it is 72 degrees outside. We are heading to forecasted highs of 105+ today and tomorrow. Yippie. I have to be at the... Sign in to see full entry.

It's 'only' 101 here right now with a 90% humidity. My computer is crying it is running hot, so I am putting my short story, 'Kosmic Karma' down because it is too bloody hot to sit at this desk. Lisa just got out of the shower, so I'm going to take a cool shower and lie down in front of the fan with... Sign in to see full entry.

Another 100+ day ahead. At 10 AM, we were already at 96. Yippie. I found a slightly used box fan for sale in a local yard sale, so I am going to attempt to work on a short story idea. I doubt it will see 3500 words, but we'll count those when the story is done. I'm working to assemble an anthology... Sign in to see full entry.

Ha! I posted here that Amazon had declined a short story after ten days of 'review.' I called them and after then minutes of dorking around, they have now agreed I do own the story and it is on its way to be published. It's an insignificant story, but any sales it makes will continue to fund the... Sign in to see full entry.

LOL. I swear. I get involved in something, and my cell will ring. Not once or twice, but as in the case of this morning, nine times since I sat down to write. Life is but a game and it goes on, with or without us. Just to prove that old Bachman Turner Overdrive song - You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet -... Sign in to see full entry.

As hot as it was yesterday, it was a wonderful day in our household. We cooked a small batch of pork chops outside on our little homemade grill and spent the day being nice to each other. Lisa had a few things she wanted to be done outside that didn't require me to sweat three buckets, so I did them... Sign in to see full entry.
