I forgot I have an early morning doctor's appointment for a normal check up. I will post when I get home later in the mid afternoon. V Sign in to see full entry.

We are slowly waking up and getting moving. We didn't fall asleep until well after two last night, and my brain is reminding me how stupid an idea that was. We watched our favorite program, #OnPatrolLive, until midnight and then sat on the porch watching the night sky as a decent-sized storm rolled... Sign in to see full entry.

It began to rain yesterday in the early afternoon, and with minor exceptions, it continues to do so. The nice thing is that the outside temps have settled into the mid-70s, making for good working/sleeping conditions. It has 'slowed down' some, so Lisa is outside with the pups. The two big dogs went... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. Storm clouds surround us, but it has yet to rain. The tropical storms running across Florida and up the Atlantic coast will ensure staying dry doesn't last much longer. We started a project yesterday outside that we all but finished. Lisa is getting dressed to help me finish it, but we... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. It's not raining here yet, but it will soon. We've been outback, making sure anything we might have out there will survive the next few days of constant rain and high winds as this storm moves up the Atlantic coast. I will be okay with it as long as when I look at a hurricane radar, I... Sign in to see full entry.

It's a beautiful morning, and the high temp is "only" going to be about 85 today. I never thought I would think 85 was cool, but here am I. I'm going to get some writing done today. The last two days have ended up doing more research, so I spent at least five hours looking up data. It's a good thing... Sign in to see full entry.

I just posted a story on my "On Writing" segment that I had translated into Spanish. Now, I'm trying to see if a Spanish reader would read it as I intended. Why? I'm reaching out to other languages. I converted a story into Hindu, and it sells a lot in India. Beyond the "English-speaking" people, a... Sign in to see full entry.
As the old Scottish quote says, "The best-laid plans of mice and men frequently go astray." I intended to spend most of yesterday writing but never got that far. Instead, using the 98-degree high temperature as an excuse, we sat outside, talking and laughing about our time together (1999-late 2000... Sign in to see full entry.

We last started the car several days ago, but I might have to run uptown to get some groceries. We had a carload of visitors stop by yesterday, and Lisa made dinner for everyone. We had originally thought about steaks today, but now I'm thinking about boneless pork chops. It's supposed to get 96... Sign in to see full entry.

I slept in a little too long this morning, and by the time we got up, it was time to wander across the driveway and go to church! Unless one of us has a doctor's appointment in the morning, we have stopped getting up to an alarm and started waking up when our bodies are ready. I usually get my eight... Sign in to see full entry.
