Wasted Days And Wasted Nights

I can't remember who sang that song but these past few days, it could have been me. It seems I can't buy a break. Everything I do seems to lead to another time delay. Yeah, I know, 'whaaa, whaaa! whaaa!' I spent a day doing what was supposed to have been a fifteen minute mission. These are the "Days... Sign in to see full entry.

What A Slug!

I think I have a bad case of the Sluggish Disease. I haven't been able to force myself to sit at the computer to write the past few days, but oddly enough, I can sit in my chair and make notes in a yellow legal pad. Fortunately, my paper and pen writing is becoming more legible with the practice... Sign in to see full entry.

A Parable In 1800 Words

"How To Be Happy" - A Parable For Life By its very definition, a 'parable' is a story that winds all around the truth to indirectly relate a point. My Father was a bloody expert at that. With that in mind, here is the story of what I had to do to get a straight answer out of him to the question of,... Sign in to see full entry.

Hand Me A Glass, Please!

I'm going to get back writing and posting it here again, but the ALS caused death of my friend has affected me in many ways. The family has asked me to give a speech at the funeral tomorrow. I'm still working on it but it will include thoughts from this book, Dig Your Well Before You Are Thirsty.... Sign in to see full entry.

Rest Peacefully My Friend

A sad day for me, even after such a wonderful time away. A friend of mine just passed away after two years of fighting off ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease. For those not familiar, ALS is a rude, horrific, and terrifying way to die. In the end, you ultimately choke on your own saliva. When I got the call... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't Look Ethel! -With a Hat Tip to Ray Stevens

I finally got home late this morning and I am whipped. I saw and heard some of the most beautiful things God saw fit to allow me to see! We had thought that going to the Tahquamenon Falls a few days before the Fourth of July would be a good thing, fewer people and all. Right. Well, actually wrong.... Sign in to see full entry.

Gone Gone Gone!

I'm about to leave on my great Fourth of July adventure to the wilds of Northern Michigan. I'll try to post a few photos and words here while gone via my Kindle if possible. It got kind of cold here last night but is supposed to be warmer all during my trip. I've got enough SD memory cards to take... Sign in to see full entry.

Still Kicking!

I've been away a couple days but I've still been writing everyday. We are planning a five day trip north, with intentions of leaving Wednesday and are making sure we have some of the things we left behind last trip. We will hit our base camp in Gaylord, Michigan about noon or so and get set up. It... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Video And Some Explanations

I've posted this video of my recent trip to the upper portions of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan elsewhere and have gotten some questions. The elk are 'somewhat' contained but I'm told that they fairly much stay inside the fencing because they are fed and not subject to Michigan's growing wolf... Sign in to see full entry.

Photo Video

I've put together a three minute video of some random photos I took a couple weeks back, all set to music. Right now, this won't work with I-Stuff but I'm working on amending the app I use for live stuff. Enjoy. Sign in to see full entry.
