Tennessee Ernie Ford did a song by the title of " Sixteen Tons, " and I think that's about how much snow is on my car right now. The funny thing is that the radars don't even show it snowing in this area, but yet, I look out the window and the flakes are hurtling to earth at an incredible rate.... Sign in to see full entry.

I slept better last night. I'm not saying that I slept well, because I didn't, but at least I got about five or six uninterrupted sleep. I think whatever is rattling around in my noodle is finally working itself out. We have another 'Severe Weather Alert' out for later this afternoon and all day... Sign in to see full entry.

This is the note they sent to me about my nephew He just came out of surgery, we can't see him until about 6:30. He will be sleeping for probably a good 6 hours and then they will see if they think he's ready to wake up. Sign in to see full entry.
Update on my nephew. They have him surgically sedated and they feel comfortable enough to proceed with the procedure. They said it would be another two hours or so. Sign in to see full entry.
I had a series of disturbing dreams last night that both bothered something in me, and yet, will provide a backdrop to a new story when I get a couple of others off the block. I'm not sure what triggered them, but if I did, I'd avoid that trigger in the future. I spent about 45 minutes talking to my... Sign in to see full entry.

Not only did we get several more inches of snow, the wind is just howling out there. Normally the dogs will go out to do their business and then play for a bit. This morning, they were out and back in within two minutes. I have to run downtown for about three minutes, but I'll let the car warm up... Sign in to see full entry.

You would think it was winter here with all the snow on the ground now. Scary thing is it is continuing to fall. I'm glad I got all of my traveling and outside work done yesterday. I've managed to post a long entry in the 'How to Self Publish' thing I started yesterday over in my " Let's Write "... Sign in to see full entry.
Fourteen inches of new snow. Fourteen inches! This is why I went to the Soo yesterday. Fortunately, it's about 30 degrees outside, because we have a steady 20 to 25 mph wind coming off Mama Superior. Even more fortunately, I've moved to my 'winter office' in the basement. I get no wind gusts coming... Sign in to see full entry.

It is about 7:30 PM EST and it's 'been a day.' Besides all the posting I did here, I drove over to Sault Ste, Marie, an 78 mile each way trip, but all thru the beautiful and breath taking Hiawatha National Forest. I saw several eagles out circling, looking for rabbits and other such prey. It always... Sign in to see full entry.
An Attitude of Gratitude
I am feeling a bit awed today, so some of my posts are 'mushy' as I remember why I am here. I'm not trying to tell you that any of this was 'me,' it was a fulfillment of something I was told when I was nine. See my story, "The Touch." I called the hospital and was told that the man who we found... Sign in to see full entry.
