Good crisp December morning! I know it's not much compared to the northern states, but it was 33 here last night, and it is predicted to go down to 30 tonight. Joy. I have to be in Valdosta to see my cancer surgeon to remove several more big clumps of cancer off my face. I've already had over a... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. After a very wet weekend, it looks like the next ten days will be dry. The good thing about tis type of heavy, persistent rain is that it helps bring up the pieces of glass from some forty-plus years ago, when this lot was essentially the neighborhood junkyard. We can walk down the... Sign in to see full entry.

Lisa Needs to Wear Her Jeans & About That Sci-fi Story Post
Good morning. It started raining yesterday, late morning, and it is still raining. It got down to 39 last night, with a high of only 52... that's what I call "Florida cold." I had to let the dogs out, and when I came back into the bedroom (that we keep at about 75 degrees!), I told Lisa she would... Sign in to see full entry.

Bonus Post - New story
This is the opening chapter of a four-book story. I have the rough manuscript (ms in the 'biz'), and it ended up at a rather puny 220,000-word story. The meaning of the word 'empath' is bandied about like a burger wrapper whips around in a windy city. Its original meaning was 'someone who could pick... Sign in to see full entry.
Armadillos, Heaven's Light, and More
Good morning. It has been raining on and off here now for the last 36 hours. We hadn't had much rain lately, so it is a welcome thing. The family of the man who wandered into our home yesterday to thank us for getting him back home... and yes, I triple-check that the door is locked, all day, and... Sign in to see full entry.

The Neighbor Sees My Wife's Backside This Morning...
Good morning! The day got off to a funny start. Usually, the wife and I wake up about the same time, but instead of getting up and starting the day, we typically lie in bed, holding hands, hugging, and sneaking in a few kisses before the world (and dogs) demands we do other things. Neither of us... Sign in to see full entry.

Brrr... It's Florida Cold Again!
Good morning. Besides being a little cooler than usual, we have a rain system that is skirting just to the north of us... for the most part. We get occasional sprinkles, but that could change around four this afternoon. Currently, it is 45 with dark overcast skies. I'm remembering why I prefer... Sign in to see full entry.

Good chilly morning! It dropped down to 40 here last night, and while that might sound mild compared to the more northern states, the nearly 90% humidity makes it feel much colder. We will warm up to about 62, and life shall continue. I talked to a friend who lives just south of the Mackinaw Bridge,... Sign in to see full entry.

Night Moves and Our First Date
Good morning. Bob Seger's song, " Night Moves," has a line at the three-minute mark that described me last night: "I woke last night to the sound of thunder. How far off I sat and wondered..." Yeah, I love music, and when certain situations pop up, I almost always have a set of lyrics to go with it.... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. I managed to sleep in for an extra half hour this morning. The dogs stayed quiet, and that is always a good thing! In writing news, I FINALLY finished my novel in the genre of a modern paranormal sci-fi. It ended up at about 220,000 words, but after editing, it will probably be about... Sign in to see full entry.
