June 6th, 1944

Before the day gets too far along, I want to remember the 72nd anniversary of D-Day, the turning point of WW2. Although scared to death, most went forward through withering enemy fire with a dead fear nerve. I couldn't even begin to imagine. Thank you for your sacrifice. I was lucky enough to have...

One Long Production Meeting

A steady light drizzle canceled our racing event last night but our production team meeting lasted almost four hours as everyone else went home. We have a lot of creative people on the team and they suggested several new ideas we might try as this new venture moves forward. As they were leaving, I... Sign in to see full entry.

Busy Doing Stuff That Relaxs Me!

Fridays and Saturdays used to be extremely busy days for me in my former life as a sports columnist and race reporter. I also ran the photo booth at one of the biggest race tracks in Michigan and ran the live Internet stream there. All I do now is run the live stream and to be honest, I show up at...

Pick A Project

Kabu was mentioning my future projects in a comment. Here's the latest on that stuff. Earlier this morning, I had my last "must attend" visit with my cardiologist and was told that I am indeed, a miracle patient. I've lost a total of 48 pounds since late January and everything looks fantastic in his... Sign in to see full entry.

Giddy, Absolutely Giddy

I am almost giddy with the way things are flowing for me right now. I've been writing virtually all day on three different projects, with only ten minute breaks every hour and I've managed to rack up over 8,000 words. Since Monday, I've got a huge number and it feels great. I know days and weeks... Sign in to see full entry.

Munchausen Syndrome

Kabu mentioned Munchausen Syndrome in a comment so I will include a brief (750 to 950 words) mention of it along with its 'brother' syndrome Munchausen by Proxy in my book. The 'syndrome' variety is where someone pretends to have a disease or severe medical issue for the sympathy it generates and in... Sign in to see full entry.

Oven Roasted - Mmmmmm

The grandsons will soon be out of school for the summer so this is one of those days I intend to go out wandering in the woods out back again. I've got the back door open and I can see a flock of about a dozen or so turkeys feeding in the tall grass. Walking increases the blood flow to the brain and... Sign in to see full entry.

Bitter Memories

I really struggled to write today's addition to 'Relax' and it took me a long time to do. I found myself mentally wandering off for several minutes now and then. I had an alcoholic family member who never ceased to embarrass me. I also had three brothers that got drawn into the drug scene when they... Sign in to see full entry.

A 90 MPH Misunderstanding

I spent a quiet Saturday night this Memorial Day 'holiday' at home, working on my latest offering over in my "Ramblings" section. For over 25 years, I spent every late spring and summer Saturday night at a local dirt race track, but I gave all of that up late last fall. I'll admit it is a bit more... Sign in to see full entry.

Honor Those Who Have Gave All

As we swing into Memorial Day weekend, let us remember that the nation sets this holiday aside for reasons other than the beginning of the vacation season. The day was begun in 1868 and known as 'Decoration Day' as part of the healing from the Civil War. The Grand Army of the Republic declared that... Sign in to see full entry.
