Good morning! Well, good late morning. Last night, I sent my next manuscript to my publisher. It is based on longer versions of the grief segments I post here daily. When it left my computer, it was 68,315 words. It could have been another 10,000 words longer, but I was in a hurry to get it out just... Sign in to see full entry.

Lisa is home. There's not much more I can say. She made it back to Orlando yesterday afternoon, and we've been making up for when we weren't together. I know today is Sunday, but we didn't wake up until 1045 this morning. She says she will make a post there later this afternoon. For now, I'm going... Sign in to see full entry.

I am going to be brief in posting. Two things. I am friends with Amanda Lay on FB, and we had a brief conversation this morning. I enjoy talking with her. Second, Lisa is home! I need to say no more! Thank you. I'll be back to full posting tomorrow, but today, I must celebrate my wife coming home! Sign in to see full entry.

It's been a 'frantic' few days, but things are settling down. Lisa will be (or should be) home tomorrow afternoon. You forget how much you miss someone until they are gone. I don't think I have ever taken my darling wife for granted. Her being away is making it hard for me to breathe. We still talk... Sign in to see full entry.

Right about now, Lisa should be taking off to fly to Michigan. I just got home after a two-hour ride (one way!) to Orlando. I'm tired, but I can rest. I wanted her to be able to get 'home' to see her family. That was the goal. She needed to be with her family. I'll get a call from her moments after... Sign in to see full entry.

It's been a crazy week, and it is only Monday. Lisa's brother has died, and we aren't sure if we can make it back up to Michigan in time. We want to get there, but reality tells me that it probably can't happen. She might be able to go, but I can't. I'm not happy with this situation, but we have to... Sign in to see full entry.

First things first. - I posted this on my personal FB page yesterday. I'm still unsure what to do because this happened at the most inopportune time. We just got a call from our family in Michigan that my wife's brother is dying and isn't expected to live much longer. They want us up there for the... Sign in to see full entry.

It's another day with a high-temperature warning. LOL... yes, it gets hot in Florida, Georgia, and all of the other southern states. Actual temps will be roughly 95 with a 'feels like' 105. We spent the morning doing yard work and will spend the next hour or so sitting under the trees, enjoying Diet... Sign in to see full entry.

LOL, another day, another severe heat warning. Last night's low temperature was 85. That said, I hate to say it, but I felt very comfortable. We have a nice area in the backyard with trees that gives us a nice place to sit in our lawn chairs and talk. We have a 'campfire' area set up, and we... Sign in to see full entry.

It's going to be another scorcher day, and we are hurrying to finish our daily 'outside stuff'. It's already 89 here, heading to ~96 with crazy humidity. I'm still excited about the performance of my new release, "I Remember Judy—A Love Story." It came out two weeks ago, and it has been #24 on their... Sign in to see full entry.
