A Lovely Fog

As I kind of suspected, this new fiction piece is getting read and I thank you. So far, the first two postings are confusing, but hang tight. Things will clarify soon enough. Speaking of confusing beginnings, I'm not sure how many are watching HBO's new summer short series, "The Night Of," but if... Sign in to see full entry.

"It Was A Dark And Stormy Night" With A Tip of The Hat to Charles Schultz

Odd afternoon here. Cool and overcast in the late morning, with massive rain in the early afternoon. After the rains went eastward, it immediately got about 20 degrees warmer, and viola, we got more rain that moved in. The lightning was quite active so I shut the machine down to avoid losing...

'Relax' - Let's 'Change' Things

Today I begin a new story over on my fiction section, something I call "The Mercurial." This story was born of two inspirations, both true, and I've taken the appropriate liberties with both to make them fit together. The streets and the geography will be based on a small town near me, so that I can... Sign in to see full entry.

Lazy But Unashamed

Lordy, its been hot here. Temps touching 95 and expected to continue to do so until at least Sunday. I have so many projects on my desk that the heat has made it difficult which to choose to do. We took roughly 12,000 photos while on our journey to heaven and they are begging to be sorted. We took... Sign in to see full entry.

Words Fail Me

I have returned from the wilds of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan a happier and calmer man. I truly feel like I had a preview of heaven. All told, we visited five waterfalls, each more spectacular than the one before it. The last set of falls we viewed was Miners Falls, a reference to the copper... Sign in to see full entry.

North Bound

I've had a number of things going on lately that have kept me from this place, but my work has continued. A couple ill timed power outages due to massive thunderstorms has screwed my work schedule. My time to come here is kind of limited by other factors, and when those factors are amplified by... Sign in to see full entry.

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.
