Just How Bad Are The Roads? Hmmmmm...

I had to go over to Seney to talk to a man about a story I am writing. He had a lot of info I hadn't seen before, so I ventured out. I almost didn't make it home. It is dark now, but this shot was taken about two miles from my home. This is M-28, the main east-west state highway across the UP. Those... Sign in to see full entry.

I Think I Am About To Lose A Friend

I don't know if I've told ya all here or not, but 'Ron,' the guy who owns the dirt track where I have worked every summer weekend since 1991, developed lymphatic cancer last fall, and has been getting weaker by the day. He's had all of the chemo, but still has the feeding tube in and can't eat 'real... Sign in to see full entry.

Baby, It's Cold OUtside!

It is still snowing on and off. The wind is blowing something fierce, it's about 14 outside, and I've decided we ain't going out to the lake today! Oddly enough, looking at the 15 day advance forecast, this is winter's last 'huff and puff' before falling to temps in the high 30's and low 40's. Soon... Sign in to see full entry.

I finally got my new story back on track. I had inadvertently jumped ahead of myself in posting it here. If you have a minute, read it from the beginning to see if the story line 'flows.' My eyes and brain are tired of trying to un-chop the lettuce and ham salad I made. I will have to step away from... Sign in to see full entry.

As I sit down to write this note, I'm listening to Grace Slick, Paul Kantner and Marty Balin in one of their finer tunes as Jefferson Airplane singing their 1975 song, 'Miracles.' In my never to be humble opinion, the only song that topped that was the 1967 ' White Rabbit. ' I saw the group in... Sign in to see full entry.

In Response To Pat B.

Pat had posted a question that had nothing at all to what follows. I answered her orignal question, but apparently my fingers weren't finished with the passage I had just finished, and my answer devolved into the following display of emotions. She had asked in her post, Good luck - you're persistent... Sign in to see full entry.

I've screwed up my ordering on my newest writing effort. While I will get it straightened out, this is the problem of a 'sausage factory' assembly of writing. Due to the fact that I decided to write this story in segments and that as I was doing so, I wasn't thinking properly, my tentative assembly... Sign in to see full entry.

Busy Day Details & A Joke

It twas a busy day. I spent too much time on the phone with two potential clients for my broadcasting system to do much effective writing. I'm positive that I'll land both clients, but after over three months of not being able to write, I would have rather have been writing. I heard on the local... Sign in to see full entry.

The Obvious

A long time ago, my Dad told me about his '5 x 5' rule. For the longest time, I lived by it. Then I got a little bit sidetracked, which led me down some confused paths. In the past few days, I've begun to re-center myself and remember Dad's rule. 5 x 5 Rule: If it’s not gonna matter in 5 years,... Sign in to see full entry.
