Recruiting Time

Four above last night, such a wonderful feeling (once you get back inside!) It is supposed to get about the same temp tonight, but then begin another warm-up. I took the dogs out for their one on one walk, something that makes them all feel special, and noticed that the squirrels were out in force.... Sign in to see full entry.

It's much colder today than yesterday, but it's the UP and that's how the weather rolls here in January. I was personally attacked this morning on FB over an 'uplifting' quote like I post here and first the idiot started sending me messages and then, sent me an email. I'm not sure how stupid you...

New Story, New Snow, New E-Pub

Alright. I've got the first 1200 words of my new story, "The Darkness." Check it out if you are into a bit of scary, paranormal type stuff. As the prologue mentions, this was a story that Johnny, my then six-year-old grandson, told me. With the exception of the plot twist at the very end of this... Sign in to see full entry.

I must have been tired last night. I laid down about 10PM, was awoken once by dogs wanting to allowed outside (I had locked the doggy door somehow) and didn't wake up again until about 10AM.

A good place to grab a few days away from his failing business and troubled marriage. He had brought a large supply of sleeping pills and had... Sign in to see full entry.

The weather forecasters are telling me that today is the calm before the storm. I started getting winter storm warning alerts about Monday's weather early Thursday morning and since I got up, I've got at least four more. Maybe they think Monday is gonna be a problem! I took the dogs for their daily... Sign in to see full entry.

I've spent two hours on the phone already this morning which was productive, but was also a waste of a great creative mood. I get in a certain state of mind some days where I could write the "Great American Novel" and some goof-ball calls me to talk about a red car that just drove by their house a...

I've posted two of my favorite photos from a trip to Copper Harbor last year. It also has a small tribute to my wife. I'm a sap for pretty flowers, beautiful lagoons, and pretty ladies that hold my hand for several decades. Absolutely beautiful here today, if you can call 31 degrees beautiful. I...

If you haven't been reading my recent book entry, "The Struggle Within," and true stories about depression and personal introspection interest you, you might want to take a peak at Chapter Seventeen that I posted this morning. I was teetering on the edge of the abyss and I was quite sure that I was... Sign in to see full entry.

I went to see my court ordered psychologist and he asks me, "So... what's wrong with you?" I looked at him a minute and told him, "According to my friends and family, a lot." I just wanted to make his job a bit easier. * This was an opening line from my standup routine I did a few years back. Other... Sign in to see full entry.
