My cell has been ringing all morning, some important, most not. The wife is getting a lot of calls from her family, which is good. The weather has been pretty decent here, with a high of 77. In Michigan, where my brother is ready to come back to Florida, the weather is not so good. Our nephew sent... Sign in to see full entry.

I used to get dozens of calls throughout the day, but as I have continued to 'retire' from various jobs, that has greatly diminished. I set up a 'do not call' time area where I didn't take business calls before 9:30 AM or after 8 PM. I was up before then, and I was up after then, but I quickly... Sign in to see full entry.

After getting rather chilly, the day has actually become quite lovely. It is rapidly approaching 70, and I am more than ready to walk outside without a ten-pound winter coat. Today, our goal is to finish walking the grass for old, almost ancient pieces of glass and stray pieces of metal. I grew up... Sign in to see full entry.

Rocky Horror, Michigan Memories, Air Disasters, & Story Plotting
Yesterday was all about doing nothing, and I must say, it was definitely 'Mission Accomplished!' We drove around Madison County to see where we had settled and found a few exciting things to investigate on warmer days. Once we got back home, Lisa spent two, close to three hours talking with her... Sign in to see full entry.

In one word, I can describe last night here in northern Florida - COLD. If I was to add a second word, it would read 'BITTER COLD!' Last night, the winds were reportedly 35 to 45 mph, causing the wind chills to almost ZERO! The wife and I were warm and comfy, but when I went out with the dogs this... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm seeing the New England area will be buried in snow this weekend, with snowfall of 30 to 40" of snow to cover Maine, NH, and Vermont. New York state could get between 10 to 20 inches as well. What does Florida get out of it? There is no snow, but the wind speed outside is approaching a steady 30+... Sign in to see full entry.

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.
