Good morning. We had a chilly night last night, but most of that was due to the high humidity. We are going to cook outside this afternoon, so I'll be heading out to get things set up. I'm trying to find or begin a story I can post here. Any story type you would like to see me post here on a daily... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm not crying about it or anything, but I just do not feel well today. A virus has been running through this town, and it seems to like me. It's a rare day when I try to do some writing, but get up and wander back into the bedroom to lie down. I spent an hour outside with the dogs, and just got... Sign in to see full entry.

It's a nice and sunny day here in northern Florida. We have some of Lisa's friends driving down from Lansing, Michigan, and they will spend the night before heading down to Daytona, another 200 miles along the east coast. This will be their first time here, and my wife is pretty excited. Some of my... Sign in to see full entry.

Good afternoon. I usually try to post here by 9 am, but today got off to a slow start, followed by a series of things. BING! BING! BING! Everything has settled down, but for a while, I thought the day was going to keep running full tilt-boogie all day. We did go out for dinner last night, and we did... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't know why I woke up in the middle of the night, but my first thought was about how Tuesday, November 10th, marks the 51st anniversary of the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. You've more than likely have heard the song about her sinking by Gordon Lightfoot, "The Wreck of the Edmund... Sign in to see full entry.

I started to post something here earlier today, took a phone call, and forgot to come back. It's unusually warm, even for this time of year in Florida. I checked the thermometer just before I stopped back here, and it's 88. I don't mind the heat because we let the dogs out every 90 minutes. They... Sign in to see full entry.

There Was A Upside...
to all the rain we got last night. We have I think it started around 7 pm and stopped around 8 am this morning, but a quick look at the radar shows we'll get a BIG rainstorm moving in around 1:30 this afternoon. While it's 75 right now, the air is almost 'soaking wet.' Neither of us has a 'breathing... Sign in to see full entry.

"How To Save A Life"
I meant to 'step away' for a few minutes, talk with a neighbor, and then come back here to o this entry. We've had a steady medium rain storm and one HUGE clap of thunder and lightning... and there went the power. It just came back on, so I'm here. I normally try to add at least 1200+ words to at...

It always takes me about ten days to 'recover' from setting the clock forward or back every six months, and today was no different. I woke up this morning to see the clock said 5:30, which was 5630 'before time.' I knew if I didn't get up, it would take me several more days to get my mind and the... Sign in to see full entry.
