I hate to keep kvetching about the weather, but this is getting ridiculous. Expected high today is only 57. It's June already... give me some heat! LOL. I lived in Florida for nine years where at this point in time, we could go three months and never go below 82, even at night. I can take the heat... Sign in to see full entry.

I suspect that there will be a massive outbreak of colds in the area here. Yesterday it was beautiful here in the UP. Down state had nothing but rain, but it was gorgeous here.

I spent most of the day yesterday alternately writing for a bit and then taking the dogs out to various 'play areas' they love out in the Hiawatha. They loved riding in the car and playing in the woods and in the streams... oh, do they love playing in the streams!.... and it gave me a good writing... Sign in to see full entry.

I just added what should be the next to last set of 'clues' for my murder story. There might be two more 'come back' entries, but I don't see more than that right now. Of course, everything is subject to change until the story is complete. I spent a good hour back tracking in the master copy of the... Sign in to see full entry.
