It was nice to have Lisa home last night. She told me about her relatives and everything she had done there. This morning, we went out for coffee and pie. It wasn't much, but it was a good morning. She was looking at our puppies and was amazed at how much they had grown in five days. Today is... Sign in to see full entry.

I meant to be back here far sooner than this, but we've spent the day in the backyard. I've managed to get a little bit of trimming done, and Lisa helped clean up some of the growth trying to encroach on our place. It's a battle because the stuff grows ungodly fast. The temp made it to 52, but it's... Sign in to see full entry.
I'm doing a quick 'post and run' this morning. Lisa's plane lands in about 45 minutes, and depending on traffic, I hope to have her home by 11:30 this morning. It was about 27 here at 6:30 this morning. It's made it to 37, but the high humidity makes it feel much colder than that! I'll add a few... Sign in to see full entry.

Stuff In General & How To Make PDF... and other such stuff
Good morning. It's a good thing Lisa will be home tomorrow afternoon! I spent two hours talking with her about 'stuff' ranging from how cold it was there vs how cold it got here last night (She won... it was about four there!) to how the puppies were doing. (very well, thank you!) Basically, it's... Sign in to see full entry.

My wife called me at 7:50 this morning, and we just got off the phone at ~ 9:30. It's almost like being teenagers again. It's about 55 here right now with a lot of rain and thunder, but it's 13 there with blowing snow. I laughed and told her I didn't miss the snow and sub-freezing temps for a...

It was another chilly night for northern Florida, with the low hitting about 38 last night. I started posting earlier this morning, but then Lisa called, and we talked about stuff for a lot longer than expected. I think she is just as 'lonely' as I am. She's having a wonderful visit, and I am very... Sign in to see full entry.

The Sounds of Silence
It's been quiet here without Lisa here. I had forgotten how much I disliked a totally silent house and the ' sounds of silence. ' She called me at 8:20 this morning to tell me it was nine degrees there in Lansing, and I told her not to bring any of that crap down here! I think she misses me as much...

The Power AND The Internet Are Back
The storm has quieted down to a steady rain, but there was quite a neat display of lightning in the sky for a while! The power wasn't off very long, but the Internet was slow is coming back in line. As I said earlier, my wife is in Michigan, and we aren't together for the first time in a very long... Sign in to see full entry.
I had just sat down at my desk to make my daily posts when the rain storm got serious. One big bolt of lightning sounded, BOOM! No power and obviously, no Internet. This shouldn't take long to resolve, and I will be back once things return to normal. I'm back in the bedroom with the dogs. Lisa is in... Sign in to see full entry.

And I'm Back After an Intermission & A Story Needs A Name - Can You Help?
Good morning. We went out to dinner and dancing, but we kind of forgot it was Valentine's Day. We got to eat, and we managed to get in a few dances that didn't involve being pushed around like we were on the front line of a football play. Then, we went home. We had a good time, but the place was... Sign in to see full entry.
