Not only is it 'race day' (although I am seeing hints of a rain storm moving into that area about 5PM tonight!), a friend of mine from high school (Class of 1970!) that I haven't seen since the last class reunion about ten years ago is going to stop by some time this afternoon. Our lives took... Sign in to see full entry.

Our beautiful morning will turn to showers later this afternoon, meaning that if I am going to walk the dogs and remain relatively dry, I need to get out and running this morning. Thank you for the discussion on the cancer story. I found the comments informative. I am fully aware that there will... Sign in to see full entry.

I just posted a bit under 1400 words in my 'cancer' story portraying something I have witnessed a few times. As a loved one lay his last card on the table, there are people who don't want to be there when it happens. People fear death, and I know it all too well. My hero has very few hours left in...

Morning Surprises and Inspirations
It looks to be a nice day ahead here in da UP. Temps are going to be in the upper 70's and maybe low 80's, clear skies. Ahhh, just another morning of weird calls. First thing this morning, I get a call from a Lubbock Texas number that I don't recognize. Turns out it was a guy I went to high school... Sign in to see full entry.

The section in my 'cancer' story that I just posted is what I call a 'pivot piece.' It gets me from one place that needs addressing, but not pages and pages to a place that does need pages and pages. If you read it, I am open to criticism of structure and necessity. If you see something that is... Sign in to see full entry.
My neighbor had car problems this early this morning, so I had to go out to rescue him. It looks like he hit a pot-hole in the road a bit too dead on and it broke something in the suspension. Lucky him! LOL I did manage to get a nice shot of a small wandering creek that apparently was warmer than... Sign in to see full entry.

Try This On For Size
I got thinking about the cover for the story and couldn't let it go. What do you think of this? I'm trying to keep it simple, beautiful, causing one to think beyond the hospital room. This is what happens when I get too much time on my hands. Sign in to see full entry.
Potential Book Cover?
Kabu had commented that the swamp photo I posted earlier today would make a good book cover. I may go back out that way at the same time of day and try to get a cleaner shot. Although I haven't posted an update on my 'cancer' story, I've advanced it considerable with the proper research I need to... Sign in to see full entry.
It's Monday, but because we didn't race Saturday night, it will be a better than normal Monday. It got down to 44 last night here in Yooper-ville. The big joke in the area is that summer always comes late to the UP. This year it happened on July 18th. They aren't far off with that joke. This is the... Sign in to see full entry.

It is a beautiful morning today. I went out early with the dogs, and it was actually rather cool outside. We haven't been able to play near the river lately because of visitors in the area, but this morning, the dogs were playing and swimming just like they usually do. I have to make a trip over to...
