It Never Ends

Once again, I just begin to get into a cycle and something happens. My brother in law was killed a few days ago in a car accident. They didn't find he was 'at fault,' but it is fair to point out that he had just had cataracts removed from both eyes less than 36 hours before. Having had that surgery... Sign in to see full entry.

Doctor My Eyes! - Tip of the Hat To Jackson Browne

I've been busy sorting out a few thousand photos for my travelogue e book series. I discovered one can go blind doing such shenanigans. That photo is of Lake Superior beginning to get fiesty on a windy day. I took some the other day when the wind was a steady 25+mph, making some much bigger waves.... Sign in to see full entry.

Where's My Jack?

I just posted a selection from my "Quotes & Notes" book over in my "Quotes & Notes" section. Depending on how a couple things go, I'll be adding some other posts to my various unfinished stories up here. "Q&N" will be out there very soon. I have it all but done, just haven't had the discipline to... Sign in to see full entry.

It Never Makes Sense

I worked on and off today writing and organizing and mowing the grass. It was a whopping 58 here today, so I didn't do a lot outside. I did manage to get my files in order to make my writing a bit easier once I got around to actually do the stories on both the drug issue and the outdoor stuff. Over... Sign in to see full entry.

My Wandering Shoes Are On The Shelf - For A While Anyway

The past six weeks have been a whorl wind of activity for me. My move to Newberry in Michigan's UP is finally complete. I'm still setting things up and sorting out all kinds of stuff that I had forgotten I even had. Some important memories have been located and I am thankful for that. I spent a lot...

You May Be Right, I May Be Crazy (Tip of the Hat to Billy Joel!)

I've been slow getting back into the saddle of daily posting here. My life continues to be crazy, but I'm got a good handle on it. I suspect by the middle of September, I'll be settled in to the new house and I will be able to devote much more time to write. My time here will be rather spotty for... Sign in to see full entry.

Even At Second, You Are A Winner

I post this in response to some comments over on my previous post about my racing write ups. I won an award for this article. Even as I read it again today, I find my eyes getting damp. V Another Saturday night at Crystal Motor Speedway saw another large car count and a huge crowd. There were over... Sign in to see full entry.

... Followed by...

It doesn't happen often, but my local newspaper printed one of my race results columns on-line. I put out a results thing every week in three different formats (short to long) for newspapers, websites, and 'blogs.' Naturally, they printed the shortest possible version on their website. Just wanted... Sign in to see full entry.

Sorry About That!

Well, my unexpected 'vacation' is over, but I had some interesting things happen. I made a last minute decision to do a ten day tour of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for my up coming series of e-books I've titled "Wandering Across Michigan's Upper Peninsula." I spoke with at least a dozen park... Sign in to see full entry.

Deer Deer! Smile!

From where I sit, I can hear the traffic on the highway a quarter mile or so down the little dirt road we live on, but here, it's quiet. These things never happen when I have my camera, but I went out to walk with the dogs and spooked out a pair of spring fawns. My dogs are quite large, but even... Sign in to see full entry.
