I've learned a few things in the past five years. I learned a while back that Life goes on, whether I'm happy or sad, rich or broke, living or dead.

I am up, working on things, and feeling better than I was late last night. There will be no 'pre-game' work for a two day weekend race event, so after the dogs are walked each day, I'll be working on finishing two writing projects over the weekend. I've noted that the fifteen day forecast for... Sign in to see full entry.

This was literally my last race report write up. On my trip today, I gathered up all of my cameras, computers, cables, and other equipment and brought it all home in my car. The photos they set me sucked as the colors are off, but I explained in my notes to the editors that I did my best 'color... Sign in to see full entry.

Just popping in to say 'I'm off!'... but you knew that. I need to be out the door and on the (figurative) bus here in about ten minutes. I should be back about 7 PM tonight! Stay well, happy, and thankful. V Sign in to see full entry.

You'll hit me for this, but I spent about three hours outlining a short story that came to mind while I was working on the next section of the Hemingway story. It is based on historical fact and a real interaction I had with some 'shady people' who really did what I am going to write. There are... Sign in to see full entry.
Since I screwed up yesterday and left my main blog area empty most of the day, I'll do it before I do the rest of them. The trolls, those who live 'under the bridge,' are already flocking up to God's Country by the thousands. Ya can't swing a dead stick without hitting one. Fortunately, it looks...

Completely forgot about writing here today. Beavis! I was woke up about 7 AM by someone knocking at my door that was looking for my neighbor... two houses down. Once awake, I find it hard to go back to sleep, so I've been moving all day. A dozen calls by noon, a Skype meeting with my new friends... Sign in to see full entry.

Poor-man Soup - Ya Just Never Know What Might Be In It - Updated!
It is raining hard here. Not a lot of thunder or lightning, but the rain sure is coming down. The up side to this is that the river levels will be up quite a bit tomorrow. The dogs will love that! When we were out earlier, we walked down by the river and saw this majestic pair of swans riding on the... Sign in to see full entry.
It's Just A Stinger
One of my neighbors had their father stay up here with them over the weekend. This afternoon, he was out in the yard and tripped over a good size twig and fell to the ground, injuring his right hip. He was in a lot of pain, so they came over to ask me to come evaluate him. He basically sustained... Sign in to see full entry.
