Good morning. Our dogs woke me up about 6:20 this morning, all wanting to go outside. We've had a steady drizzle for the last few days, but the far edge of the tropical storm/wannabe hurricane brought us a heavy downpour. Despite the rain and wind, they all did their thing, came back inside, shook... Sign in to see full entry.

Hurricane Isaias Updates
Good morning. When we called it a night last night, I was pretty sure we'd have a close call with Hurricane Isaias, but looking at the various radars, I think it will stay just west of us, closer to Mobile, Alabama. These kinds of storms are a lot like a drunk driver: they veer one way and then... Sign in to see full entry.

I wrote about 900 words here, and my computer suddenly shut down, and I lost it all. I'm not sick, but I'm going to attempt to see one of my doctors. My left eyelid has been hanging up like I have several eyelashes against my eyes, becoming a nuisance. We have a lot of rain headed this way, but not... Sign in to see full entry.

Some days I want to junk this computer... today was one of them. I was ten seconds from hitting the "Save & Post" button, and it shut down and rebooted. I'm not sure why it is doing that, but a few weeks ago, I started doing any serious writing in my Gmail. If the machine reboots when I'm doing... Sign in to see full entry.

After nearly ten days of feeling like I had been through the wringer a few dozen times, I almost feel human. Almost. It's been a long, long time since I last felt that way, and I'm grateful it's over. My eyes were 'gummed up,' my head was pounding 24/7, and I wanted to sleep all the time. Suffice it...

Good morning. While I'm not 100%, I'm much better than yesterday. While I won't be out practicing with the Harlem Globetrotters, but I won't be groaning when I have to take the dogs out. It's been a long time since I've had a virus like that, and I hope it will be a long time before I get another... Sign in to see full entry.

"The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow, But Ya Gotta Hang On Until Tomorrow"
Typically, I like to start out saying "Good morning!", but today, I'll leave it at "hey." I think I caught another round of the flu circulating in northern Florida and southern Georgia. As I went through my overnight emails, I told my wife I didn't feel my best, so she touched my forehead and said,... Sign in to see full entry.

On A Serious Note
Good morning. I suppose the big thing in the news this morning is Tennessee's botched execution of Christa Pike last night. I'm not sure what happened, but she's still alive and 'snoring.' While not a pleasant topic, the national conversation over the next few months will be interesting. Whether... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. Without asking for any "awww, poor baby" comments, I continue to feel terrible. I saw my doctor yesterday, and she told me it was 'probably viral,' which means there is no real treatment for it other than fluids and rest. Other than my posts here and two stray comments on FB, I haven't... Sign in to see full entry.

I missed a day, and honestly, I shouldn't be here now. I'm not sure what I've caught, but it has left me wanting to sleep 24/7. I'm slowly getting back on my feet, but I can clearly see I'm nowhere near my normal self. To put it another way, I haven't done any serious writing in two, going on three,...
