It rained all night here. It was a tad on the cool side... about 48 or so... but I had my bedroom window open so I could hear the rain fall and enjoy the sounds of the thunder echoing as it spread across the trees. I was going to go out in the woods for a walk with the dogs, but it is still... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, a spot of good news! One thing my partner and I have been working on is upgrading our racing/sports/religious Roku channels. Roku did some serious upgrade demands and in the wake of that, a lot of smaller channels were falling off he platform because they couldn't meet the requirements.... Sign in to see full entry.
As wildly as the temps have been swaying here, I'm lucky I've not gotten sick. It was 65 on Tuesday, 42 yesterday, and it is headed to 65 again today. I spent some time raking the backyard Tuesday and my shoulders were sore on Wednesday! I intend to finish the raking later this morning. I may be... Sign in to see full entry.

Two of my short stories have hit "The Big A" over night. Both are 99 cent specials or free using Kindle Unlimited. I posted "The Man In The Corner Booth" and it has taken off quite well. Realizing that the numbers on Amazon are extremely fluid, this story was in of the top 25 of two of the three... Sign in to see full entry.

It's finally about 65 here today, and to celebrate, I took a walk in the woods about two miles from home. There is a small lake there and the dogs love to play in it. Even the little one jumps off the pier there. I can fully understand Thoreau's writings in 'Walden - Life In The Woods.' When I was... Sign in to see full entry.

My doctor thinks I'm crazy after I told him that for now, I was going to hold off on starting chemo again. I told him that he just hadn't known me long enough or he would have known I was crazy. As the lead male character in the 1998 movie "Titanic" said, "I get by on God's good graces." The last of... Sign in to see full entry.
Once again, thank you for all the notes. I appreciate them very much. After doing next to nothing, even avoiding turning on the computer for the past few days, I've decided it's time to start writing again. I've got an appointment here shortly with my local specialist, and when we meet, I'm going to... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank you
Thank you for your words left for me. I'm still not sure of where and what I am going to do, but I'll continue to think. In the mean time, I've posted one of the complete short stories I am submitting for a short story contest. It's 4550 words, but don't let that scare ya. I'm working on another...

Well. I'm not sure what to do from here. I went to the doctor's office last week and they drew some blood. I started feeling less than good a week or so back. I got the call late this evening. The cancer is back with marker numbers higher than before. I'm not sure I have it in me to do that again. I... Sign in to see full entry.
