Another day, another heat advisory. At roughly 9:35, it is already 85 degrees. Life goes on. I had some excitement in the middle of the night. It was lightly raining, and the pups needed to go out to go potty. I begrudgingly got up, put my house coat on, and let them out the back door. I never... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. It's supposed to get uncomfortably hot here today. I'm wondering what will distinguish today from most of the summer so far. I've lived in Florida for a total of 11 years, much further south of Madison (as laid out in my story, "I Remember Judy - A Love Story,") and I can't recall a... Sign in to see full entry.

Monday, Monday, So Good To Me
I was always a fan of the group 'The Mamas and the Papas,' and I would sing this song to the cows as I milked them. I'm not sure if the cows liked it, but it helped me pass the day. Compared to the heat the last forty days or so, it's rather a brisk 78 degrees outside, headed to a high of 'only' 90.... Sign in to see full entry.

I was awakened far too early this morning when someone knocked on my door at 6:45 a.m. I stumbled out of bed, grabbed the robe I always have hanging in our bedroom, and made my way to the door. I found an older woman (~90!!) on the porch. I asked if she had an emergency, and she shook her head. "Do... Sign in to see full entry.

As I just posted in my photo section, we are preparing to celebrate our fourth anniversary next Thursday. It seems like we've been together forever, but it was not that long ago. If you ever read my book, "Finding Myself Again," Lisa and I had our one and only (so far) disagreement. It was a... Sign in to see full entry.

This was the show from last night! I come in at roughly the 20-minute mark. Sign in to see full entry.
I made my post about the radio program last night far too late for most of you to catch. I apologize. It turned out to be a really fast-paced show, and I didn't get half of the stuff I wanted to talk about on the air. Normally, the hosts would call me two nights before the show, and they would lay...

I had some spare time this afternoon, so I took some of that time to add some new material here. I also wanted to warn you about my live appearance on the FIG radio program tonight. Tonight, at 8 pm EST, I will be doing a one hour interview live for the FreshInkGroup. You can listen here at 8 (or... Sign in to see full entry.

Survey Says...
Alrighty, then. If I can continue to progress on my new non-political-political story, I am thinking about posting a few more things here daily. Beyond the political story, I will be using the longer versions of over 100 of my "Dealing With Grief" posts in the Vella version of that series as one of... Sign in to see full entry.
Good morning. I'm progressing on my new novel after over a week of slow plodding. I finally broke down and wrote down a 3100-word outline, start to finish, of the 60+ years it runs. That took me well over three days, but it allowed me to set my 'Garmin' path as I wrote the story. If I think of a... Sign in to see full entry.
