Off To See the Wizard
I just posted everything I could before it was too late to be on time. The car is warming (it's 12 here) and my stuff is in the back seat. I'll post when I arrive about five to six hours from now. I suspect this trip will take an extra hour that normal due to weather. Take care! V Sign in to see full entry.

Darn The Snow, Full Speed Ahead plus The Story Behind the Story.
Alright. I've decided to re-edit "The Haunting of A Small Town," a true story made into fiction, sometimes known as a Roman à clef. As you read this story, keep in mind that in some manner, the events in this story really happened to me.If I ahd to put a percentage on truth vs fiction, I'd say that... Sign in to see full entry.
Turkeys, Lessons, and Johnny
Johnny, my eight-year-old grandson, called me this morning to talk to me about a flock of wild turkeys that had woke him up as they gobbled their merry way past his window to the woods. John loves to watch them, but not at 6:45 AM on a Sunday. I had asked him about doing a series based on his ideas... Sign in to see full entry.

Living The 906 Life
The good thing about today is it almost 18 degrees out with very little wind. The bad thing is that we won't see this temp again for several days as it is dropping to the low teens for highs with lows nearing zero. Ahh the 906 Life! The house is well insulated and the heating is more than sufficient... Sign in to see full entry.

I Was Walking In Memphis... or Maybe It Was Newberry
It's about 20 degrees today but the wind has finally died down. At least my area isn't a massive blaze like California. My heart goes out for these people.I have a lot of friends out there and at least one of them has been told to leave. I took each of my three dogs out for an abbreviated walk and...

A One Horse Sleigh
We had our first meeting of a new writing group at noon today. There were only a few of us, but I suspect that the weather had something to do with the low attendance. Besides the high winds that help you move along if you are southbound, the snow was just getting into the area. The weather alerts... Sign in to see full entry.
It is nice and cold up here. 15 right now with a wind of 35 mph. The snow is supposed to set in again about noon. They are calling for eight to ten inches. Also about noon is the meeting time of the new 'writers club' I've been working to get going in the local library. Problem being that if the... Sign in to see full entry.
