I ended up adding at total of about 3700 words, 3000 of which were in an added chapter a pair of murders that I had somehow attributed to another man I worked with in the prison. the new section will be posted very shortly, perhaps by Sunday or...

With the last day of February upon us, the warming temps of Spring can't be that far away... or so I tell myself. I like taking winter shots, but this winter getting out into the weather has meant wearing at least twenty pounds or more of protective clothing. That gets old. The extended ten day...

Goodbye Evelyn.
I made it home about 10 PM last night. Save for some very slippery roads in the Gaylord Michigan area on my way south, the trip was uneventful. I spent about four hours talking with my friend about things that happened long ago and what lay ahead. I didn't push the conversation, I just went where... Sign in to see full entry.

Ahhhh nuts. I have to make a quick trip down state. The snow is horrible, but I have no choice in the matter. A long time friend of mine is critically ill and isn't expected to stay with us much longer. She asked to see me and I have to go. I'll be back later this evening... I hope!

The Internet finally came back up. While I have a routine that finds me reading the latest news from overnight, I realized that the travesty that the Oscars has become was dominating the headlines. I could give a jolly damn about anything that anyone in Hollyweird has to say think, or do. When your... Sign in to see full entry.
Oh what a night! The reported wind was well over 60 mph and while we never lost power (for long), my Internet is down. I'm using my cell to power my desktop long enough to make my morning posts. Hopefully this resolves soon. Sign in to see full entry.

I'm doing another read/edit on 'Say Hello To Dave,' and finding small little things that fresh eyes always find. I want to do a 'Meet The Author' thing in late April here in the local library in Newberry, and I want to be sure that 'Dave' is ready for that deal. At the half way point, I had added...

We are in the middle of another blizzard warning. So far, we've only gotten about five inches of snow, but the forecast is now calling for a total of well over fifteen inches by later tonight. The wind is absolutely howling outside as it comes from Lake Michigan right now, but is scheduled to swing... Sign in to see full entry.

The Story Behind The Story
I always try to get my historical sightings in a story as close as possible to reality. As I mentioned in my 'story blog,' I am adding another scene to "Say 'Hello' To Dave." The murder my main character told me about happened about a mile from where we lived back in 2006 in Port St. Lucie Florida.... Sign in to see full entry.
Another nice night as far as temperatures go, but the snow began to fall about 6 AM. If the weather forecast is to be believed, we are gonna get buried - again. The radio dude just said we will get between eight and twenty inches of new snow. Hmmm, I was just getting to be on friendly terms with the... Sign in to see full entry.
