It's going to be about 63 and dry here today, leaving my options wide open. I've been writing on and off since about 7:30 this morning. Nothing serious... just 'stuff.' I want to wander over to Seney to do some more research on my Hemingway project, but I have to wait for a couple of other things to... Sign in to see full entry.

Urrgggh! I was working like a wild fire on my murder story, the first time in nearly three weeks, and we lost power for about four hours. Fortunately, this version of MS Word can be set to auto save... and I always look for that option... so I lost nothing. Still, I got 600 words, but had the... Sign in to see full entry.
The UP makes another stab at attempting to pretend that it is spring time here. After yesterday's high temps of 42, rain, and a steady 25 mph wind, it will be in the mind fifties today and maybe low sixties tomorrow. Maybe. Even the lifelong Yoopers here are kvetching about the lack of warmth in the... Sign in to see full entry.

I was just talking to a friend who finds herself in a quandary. During the course of that talk, I told her this quote. My Dad used to tell me this all the time. I think it helped her. "Why?" is the most useless question in the universe. The only question with any meaning is "What?" Asking "Why is... Sign in to see full entry.
Busy night. I was hoping that I had someone who was going to learn to be my main producer of my live video program on Saturday night, but that didn't happen. It's not that hard or technical, you just have to pay attention and follow the action. Apparently the guy didn't need the money half as bad as... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm home now. It rained like crazy last night at the track, and while they might get the race started, I doubt that it will stay dry long enough to get the entire night of events in. I did manage to get four of the five goals done that I wanted to do, so I'm happy. Next weekend is the big Memorial... Sign in to see full entry.

Although I'm neither thrilled or really mentally prepared for it, I have to leave about 9 AM EST to drive downstate to finish the set up for our live broadcasts out of the race events out of Crystal Motor Speedway. This should be easy. Everything except the new method that I have to install is there... Sign in to see full entry.

A Fleeting Thought
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet. - J. Robert Oppenheimer Consistent happiness is found through living in a state of constant appreciation of what you have been given. Sign in to see full entry.
It was nice outside this morning when I woke up for about twenty minutes. Now it's raining. There are things that I can do outside, but other than wander over to the Post Office and maybe play with the dogs in the back yard, I suspect I'll be inside most of the day. I can stand under the big pine... Sign in to see full entry.

Britney Spears Article
I was never a fan of Britney Spears. I wasn't a fan of her type of music. There wasn't anything wrong with it, but I'm more of an Eagles, Carpenters, Jackson Brown, Jim Croce, etc, etc, etc fan. That said, I read an article over on Variety dot com about her today. Very sad. I suspect that this woman... Sign in to see full entry.
