The "Other" story

Today has been one of the days you hope will play itself up and out... real quick. I sat down here about 8:20 this morning, and now it's 2:34, and I'm just now posting what I intended to have done this morning. Lots of unexpected people. LOTS of 'em. I wouldn't drop in to see someone unannounced. In... Sign in to see full entry.

The Story

The Rule Nobody Wrote Down The carpenter lived exactly where Thomas remembered. It had been a weathered white house that sat beneath three enormous live oaks, their limbs spreading like protective arms over the yard. The porch sagged slightly in the middle, but every board looked solid enough to... Sign in to see full entry.

Behind "The Story"

Good morning. The day is off to a good start. The dogs let me sleep in until 8:20, and it seems to be a beautiful day. First things first...

The Story Continues

The Man Who Said “No” Thomas returned to the Historical Society three days later. He didn’t think he would get answers, but there was one question that refused to leave him alone.

Linda was on the porch shelling peas when his truck pulled into the driveway. A bowl rested in her lap, while... Sign in to see full entry.

I guess I didn't realize how tired I was. I typically get up (without an alarm) around 7:45 or so and call it a day around midnight. Last night, I fell asleep about 11 and didn't wake up until 9:30. It wasn't overly hot yesterday, and it's only supposed to hit 87 today. After two weeks of 96+ temps,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Names That Disappeared - The FULL Segment! See Below

The Names That Disappeared Thomas returned to the archives looking for something completely unrelated. While waiting for the archivist, he casually asked, "How many surveyors worked this county before Whitaker?" The archivist shrugged. "Hundreds. She pulled out an old ledger, and Thomas began...

The Letter That Was Never Mailed

The Letter That Was Never Mailed Thomas waited until the following afternoon before returning to Professor Benton’s office. Not because he lacked curiosity; quite the opposite. Experience had taught him that the best questions deserved a night’s sleep before being asked. The little church office was... Sign in to see full entry.

Just Me Blathering About My PD

I have another appointment to see a Parkinson's (PD) specialist in Gainesville, FL, on August 13th. So far, I've been blessed to keep my hands steady, with only a slight quiver in my legs. I walk at least a mile every day to keep them properly innervated, and the nerves stay as healthy as possible.... Sign in to see full entry.
