Addictions At Christmas or How To Completely Ruin My Christmas Spirit

It's Christmas, my most favorite of all the holidays, and I'm still dealing with tragedies. You know about the death of my nephew's wife at age 42, but about twenty minutes ago, I got a call from the brother of a man I've been talking with about my book on addictions. He told me that his brother had... Sign in to see full entry.

Tonight's To Do List

It's 14 here right now & it is snowing again. That's alright. We are warm & safe All is good. The world is turning without me tonight. Time to # write # think & # relax Sign in to see full entry.

Settle Down Big Guy

I've always been able to 'reach out and touch' people despite being hundreds of miles away. I finally got a funeral home that will take care of my nephew's wife with 'only' $600 down and my word to get it paid in 90 days. I've put up a quick website page for donations for all of their friends and... Sign in to see full entry.

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...

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.
