UPDATE: Not this will cause a ripple in "the Force," but I will be here tomorrow. My trip to Sebring/Avon Park is now set for Thursday. You can now come in from off the ledges. LOL V Sign in to see full entry.

I will be heading back south tomorrow to finish the business I didn't quite get done last week. I'm not thrilled with that idea, but it has to happen, so if nothing changes, I will be gone about 7 a.m. and will return late at night. On the last trip, I spent the day before I left doing a lot of yard... Sign in to see full entry.

I Have Returned
This is merely a hypothetical question, and I don't really expect answers except for the last one, but... Why is it that the minute I wander into my writing office (and yes, I have an office in our home that is designated only for my writing!), my cell begins to ring with people asking me (via text...

After 'full moon watching' for an hour or so last night, we watched as another storm skirt moved in, and clouds and rain began to fall again. It was a balmy 77 degrees at 1 a.m., so we just sat outside and enjoyed the night. It was a school day today, so the neighborhood kids were all in bed, and... Sign in to see full entry.

For the first morning in several days, it has not rained since late last night. We made the trip across the street to attend church services, and now we are going to relax for an hour or so. We came home to four dogs who are driving me crazy (I forgot to close my office door!), making it a challenge... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. Yesterday was a long day that still didn't complete my 'mission.' Depending on how I feel, I will probably go back down on Monday. Right now, I'm still a little worn thin. The round trip was about 550 miles, and traffic on I-75 and US 27 is and was nuts 24/7/365... especially US 27. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Good evening. I didn't get everything done that I wanted to, so I will probably have to make this run again next week. I'm exhausted (it was a 575-mile round trip!). I called home an hour out, and Lisa had a light dinner ready for me. Have I mentioned that I love this woman lately? We will go... Sign in to see full entry.

I have to make an unexpected (but very important) trip down to Avon Park/Sebring early tomorrow morning, which means I will be gone early and getting back late. This will be a ~ nine-hour round trip, not counting the time I need to accomplish a few things. If all goes as planned, I'll explain it to... Sign in to see full entry.
The story for today, and I suspect the next few days, is rain, rain, and more rain. The Weather Channel says we might have a tornado or two, just to mix things up. The instability of the air around us due to the storm about to hit Louisiana is profound, so they don't know what to tell us. In the... Sign in to see full entry.

Twenty-three years ago today, one of the greatest tragedies in American history shook the nation. Terrorists hijacked and then flew two planes into the Twin Towers while a third was purposely nose-dived into a field in Pennsylvania. I watched in stunned silence as the second plane ended its flight... Sign in to see full entry.
