It is supposed to be 97 today so that all but eliminates anything very strenuous after 11 AM. I began to hit a writing stride yesterday after I picked up an old writing project with the idea I would pick at it to get myself going again. 5700 words later, I decided my brain was working again. Now to... Sign in to see full entry.

We are supposed to be hitting a temp in the upper 90s today, so other than some quick work this morning, I will be staying in the ol' writing office, trying to get my writing duties caught up again. I've had to keep up my three sports columns for local (to Michigan anyway) events in racing and other... Sign in to see full entry.

A beautiful day in north Florida this morning. It's supposed to hit 88, but we are enjoying the morning. My brother is pushing himself into a very tight schedule. It's almost 11AM and he has to be in Michigan tomorrow at 2PM for an appointment with his transplant doctor. I suspect we will see him... Sign in to see full entry.

It's a quiet Sunday morning here. We can hear the church services across the street and we do our best to keep our dogs from joining in to make a 'joyful noise.' One of my dogs likes to 'sing' with them. I think it's pretty good, but I'm not sure if the church members like it. They were raised with... Sign in to see full entry.

It started to sprinkle mid-afternoon yesterday, but then it stopped, and I thought the much-ballihooed storm was gonna be over. Boy, was I wrong! It started raining again at about 8PM and it kept getting heavier by the minute. Our dogs are not usually upset by thunderstorms, but the intense thunder... Sign in to see full entry.

I got a call at 8:03 by a phone call with terrible news. The warranty on my car ran out two days ago, but if I paid them $219.99 by noon today, I would be retroactively covered. With the idea that the woman calling me was an employee working for a check, I explained that any calls I got before 10 AM... Sign in to see full entry.

Too many phone calls this morning starting at 7 AM. I'm retired, and I don't 'do' 7 AM, but I took the call. With no exaggeration, I've had no less than fifteen calls this morning. Uggg! A friend of mine from London forgot we are five hours behind them and his was the second call I had. I will be on... Sign in to see full entry.

I Lost A Friend Today
A young man I have known for twenty-plus years succumbed to cancer today. I am the one who does press releases for the race track, and this is what I sent out. Brandon was a devout Christian man who lived his beliefs every day. I am proud he was my friend. Respectfully, Verwayne Early in the... Sign in to see full entry.
Another cool night, but I slept well. My brother is leaving to go back to Michigan either Friday or Saturday. He has to see his cardiac surgeon mid-week next week. In January of 2020, Jerry had a very rare lung transplant. He has A-negative blood, which made finding a donor a very rare thing. So... Sign in to see full entry.
