The Power of Words

This video underscores the entire concept of writing for me. It is well worth the two minutes it takes to watch it. It is titled, 'The Power of Words.' Use your words to make others feel the emotions you want them to feel. This goes to one of my sites which I guarantee is virus-free. Sign in to see full entry.

We got a nice card and beautiful wall plaque from someone today. It says it came from Del-Ray Beach, Florida. I have the first name and I know one person here with that has that first name, but no last name. If you were the one who sent it, we thank you. L&V Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. Short post for now. I've posted the last of 'One More.' On Amazon, that story has cracked the top 50 in the 'murder' genre. I will post the last of 'Finding Myself Again' this week. It has busted into the top 325 in the dauntingly tough 'romance' genre. To be sure, the 'numbers' on... Sign in to see full entry.

Parting Thoughts For Today

Today was an exceptional day in about thirty different ways. I finally got Lisa to sing this song with me. It was fun. I saw BS&T (Blood, Sweat, & Tears) do this song live back in 1972 and I loved it then. Little did I ever dream that it would be like this. My resting pulse has dropped down into the...

I just got this email from Amazon. I get them fairly often, but ya never get used to seeing this stuff from Amazon! It says I've sold 44 copies of this story this weekend (Friday AM thru right now) Not bad for a kid. Sign in to see full entry.

Yep, today is my 67th birthday, and I'm quite happy, thank ya, very much! I feel more like 35... 40 tops, and I have everything that a man might ever expect to have to be happy.

I am going to make this a very short note. I was sitting in the living room with the television on, but I wasn't watching it. It was on strictly for the noise that it made. The sun had just gone down and a light rain was beginning. The weather matched my mood, dark and dank. I was missing my wife. I... Sign in to see full entry.

I generally don't start posting here until after 10 AM, but since Lisa called me at 8 this morning, I figured I'd tell you what is new. A) My grandson is very sore, but stable per the doctor making rounds at 7:15AM. That's a good thing. They anticipate that he will remain there for at least 15 to 21... Sign in to see full entry.

Update on Bruce

Early this morning, my now 21 year-old grandson, Bruce (he was 'Mike' in 'The Darkness,' and 'Johnny Robot,' and one other story under a different name) was heading to his job. He was sitting at a stop light when he was hit from behind at about 40mph. Bruce had his seatbelt on, but was still... Sign in to see full entry.

We are headed downstate toward Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids. I'm not sure of the details, but one of my grandsons was severely injured in an accident. More when I can. L&V Sign in to see full entry.
