It's a three movie night here in Madison, so as Lisa runs to the bathroom, I am leaving you folks a note. We didn't have time to enter the little house we found behind our house, but I hope to do so tomorrow.. I also want to thank Annicita for the quick return of my next chapter of my murder story....

Little House on the Ridge?
We 'found' something unusual in the back yard, way out in the 'pucker-brush,' right at the rear property line. There had been a lot of trash, and assorted tree trimmings piled up that initially hid this building. It isn't very big, about the size of a decent living room. At first, we thought it was...

More on Vella 2
This is just an FYI post for those using or tempted to try Vella. If I make an original post to the Vella platform, it takes roughly ten to twelve hours to post to the general public. If I make a minor change to an existing Vella post, it takes about two hours for that change to happen. I've tried... Sign in to see full entry.
I thought I would sleep in this morning, but the cell started training at roughly 7 AM, crushing my hopes of gliding through until 9 AM. That's the glorious part of being retired and answering only to the wife. Oh well. This winter-like weather (for Florida) is alledged to come to an end starting... Sign in to see full entry.

Lol. Normally it's Lisa sneaking in here late at night to post, but I beat her to it tonight. I want to punch out a message before we start the next movie and while the wife grabs a quick shower. In my life I have had some terrible things happen, but I have also have had some miraculous things... Sign in to see full entry.
I buckled down and ended up with one of the most bizarre segments that will be in my murder stories. Pre-edit, it is roughly 960 words. The male character in question has a deep psychopathy issue where he feels no sympathy or sense of wrongdoing. I worked with a few men like this in the psych ward... Sign in to see full entry.
It's been one of those rare times in my life where my mind is revving off the chart, but my fingers aren't responding. To say that is frustrating is being overly polite. To compensate, I am doing some more editing on a story I have been working on for at least three years, hoping that the magic... Sign in to see full entry.

Lisa has ducked out of the bedroom to use the bathroom for a minute, so I thought I would jump on here. First, while I didn't get any new words in my story, I have settled it in my head. Second, I had forgotten how much I loved my wife, and until she was gone for a few days, I had become comfortable... Sign in to see full entry.
It's been a few mornings since I have slept in as late as I did this morning. When Lisa finally woke me up, I was shocked to see it was 10:40. Stress will do that to ya. She brought me a breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast, and bacon. I think I needed the breakfast as much as I needed the sleep. It... Sign in to see full entry.
