A Not So Small Rant

Waffling. I hate it. I like waffles, but 'waffling' is something I detest. My nephew just called me a bit ago telling me he isn't sure of when the services for his wife are going to be. Seems that the 'cheapest' funeral services he can find run about $4200 and every single one of them want the cash... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank you for the notes, both here and via email. It appears I won't need to leave until Friday mid morning. I've decided that I will probably take my one computer and hook it up to a monitor I left there for such purposes. I hate laptops, so that ain't happening! I'll bundle up the dogs and we'll...

Bad News on The Doorstep

The "Christmas Curse" has struck again. On December 19th, 2010, my sister, my closest nephew Jim's mom, died. On December 19th, 2013, my oldest brother Roger was murdered in South Carolina. This morning, December 20th, Jim's wife Athena died. She was only about 45. They said it was 'probably' a... Sign in to see full entry.

Holy crow! Amazon must be working on steroids. The last couple updates to manuscripts I have done have been approved and posted within five hours or less. The usual turnaround time is about 14 hours. I'm impressed. Long story short, the re-written version of "Johnny Robot - Space Alien" has been... Sign in to see full entry.

I've been going back through all of my older stories and updating and revising them a bit. I just finished "Johnny Robot - Space Alien" (that is the Audible version that only costs $3.50) and the Kindle version is here and I have to say that there are sections of this story that still make me cry....

The Bank and Standup

Bank of America (BoA from here on out) called me a bit ago and they 'think' they know what happened to my cash. I have several bills that are set to auto-pay and it appears one of them had a few too many zero's added in 'some how.' They are working to retrieve the over pull. When my wife and I...

Joy, I've Been Robbed

Joy. I went downtown this morning to pick up some extra things for the house and the dogs and when I went to pay for them, my card was declined. "Impossible!" I tell the lady. She tried it again and I found that it was indeed, 'possible.' Somehow during the night, my bank account had been drained of... Sign in to see full entry.

I Literally Wrote All Day

I kind of got carried away today working on my latest novel that probably won't be here due to content, and jumped the word count up another 14,000 words. The title is tentatively set as "Murder, A Bit At A Time," a story of love, malevolence, murder, and survival. I still have to go back and fix... Sign in to see full entry.

Beware, Dangerous Thinking Ahead

I'm off to a very slow start today. I was up until my normal 1:30/2AM (EST) time, mainly watching 'LivePD' on A&E and then working on my daily addition to my next "Quotes & Notes" entry. It was about that time I looked at my cell phone and found it was a whopping ZERO outside. It ended up about... Sign in to see full entry.
