Whew. I'm up and almost ready to hit the door to leave. For those leaving to have an early start to the holiday, be safe and enjoy your weekend. It rained like crazy here last night. The power was off intermittently during the night due to heavy winds and lightning, but all is good this morning.... Sign in to see full entry.

Wouldn't ya know? I forgot that I have a ten AM appointment over in Marquette tomorrow morning, meaning I must be out of the house and on the road by 8:15 AM. Me? I've never been one to be up and moving early in the morning without a good reason, so I'm posting a lot of my normal stuff just after... Sign in to see full entry.
This is one of the newspapers that get my local racing reports. It gets tricky to write a proper report with the understanding that I get roughly 595 to 605 words. Column inches rule. If it don't fit in the allowable space, it doesn't get printed! V Sign in to see full entry.
Yesterday's warmth and sunshine gave way to cooler temps and rain today. I took advantage of the nice weather by wandering out to find a lake that I could see I could see on my map app. It appeared to be an easy drive. The app was telling me to take 'County Road 455' to 'Country Road 426' and just... Sign in to see full entry.

As most of you know, I belong to a great 'writers group' over on Twitter by the abbreviation name of #RRBC - Rave Reviews Book Club. At 7PM tonight (May 21st!), we had a discussion with a friend of mine being the moderator, Beem Weeks and a man by the name of Bernard Foong. Bernard, or 'Young,'... Sign in to see full entry.
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.
