I stayed up until about 1AM watching a movie while the wife snored... I mean, peacefully slept... beside me. My mind was half on the film and half elsewhere. In quiet times, I often reflect on where I am and where I am headed, and that's what was going on last night. Things got rough and tumble... Sign in to see full entry.

Some words to ponder: If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living. - Gail Sheehy Sign in to see full entry.

I belong to the #FreshInkGroup and listen to their weekly live podcast every Wednesday at 8PM EST. This is the context of the tweet I sent out on my Twitter account. You do not need a Twitter account to listen here. If you get there early, you have to wait for the clock to start its countdown from... Sign in to see full entry.

As tired as I was last night, I feel much better this morning. I was worried that I might be developing something a bit more complex than 'just a cold,' but whatever it was has passed. It also looks like my northern friends have begun to gather up all of that frigid weather they let loose, and... Sign in to see full entry.

Before The Brick

Finally! I got a new mouse. The old one has been in use since early 2018. In fact, the first story I wrote with it was 'I Remember Judy - A Love Story.' That mouse owes me nothing for the $20 I spent on it about three million words ago. First, I just posted the opening shot of 'The Brick.' I've... Sign in to see full entry.

For reasons I don't understand, my 'good' computer mouse has gone belly-up, leaving me with an antique corded piece of junk. It doesn't work properly, making it impossible to 'copy and paste' anything longer than my name. Somewhere in this place, I have a different one, but until I find it, I can't...

If I begin to sound like the proverbial broken record, I apologize. Holy crow, it was COLD again last night. Weather dot com says we were at 25 degrees last night about 4AM. We stayed warm, but this house is not insulated, as I explained yesterday. The idea of doing so rises in importance with every... Sign in to see full entry.
