The Holidays Are Here

With all of my family in the medical field in various forms, I knew our family Christmas celebrations would not be on the traditional Christmas Day. This isn't new for us as my wife was an OB nurse and I was a paramedic and later on an ER RN so our kids grew up knowing that Thanksgiving and... Sign in to see full entry.

Minor Technicalities... OR... Dang It Jim, It's Only A Story!

I've added a new section in my story, "Just Dreaming." I like to keep things close to factual and had sent this section to my nephew Jim who is a most devoted fisherman. I explained to him that this was just a lead-in and I wasn't writing a tech article for 'Outdoor Life.' I don't think he read that... Sign in to see full entry.

Cold N Squeaky

I had a couple social obligations that have tied me up the past couple days, Christmas get togethers and all you understand. The temp outside as I write this is 19 with a "Feels Like" of 9. I hate cold weather! While not really 'sick,' my voice is real squeaky, making it difficult to use my Dragon... Sign in to see full entry.

Cold Resolutions

I realize it is mid December already but holy crow, it got cold over night. We had a low of 20 about 4AM or so this morning and it is 29 right now. I heard the furnace kicking in and out all night long. Oddly enough, they tell us we will be back in the upper 40's to mid 50's by early next week. I... Sign in to see full entry.

... and Here We Go!

I'm sorry about the "I'm here... opps... no I'm not!" stuff lately. Between my broken wrist and then an offer 'too good to refuse' to write a 3200 word article for publication that also paid $600, I've been tied up. The wrist has healed to the point I can use it for 30 minutes or so without too much... Sign in to see full entry.

Just Hangin' Out

My doctor asks that I refrain from typing just a couple more days. Reluctantly, I agree with him. In the morning, I am going to give the ol' Dragon "Naturally Speaking" program a workout as I soldier on with a new story. Thanks to all who extended wishes. Sign in to see full entry.

The Trapezoid... Always The Trapezoid.

As many of you know, I had my left wrist shut in a car door (accidently they say! LOL... just kidding. The wind caught my car door and slammed on my wrist) Things were improving but the pain began to get worse and testing showed that the Trapezoid bone was dying or had already died. The Trapezoid is... Sign in to see full entry.

Reality At Last!

I spent today doing some one handed editing and formatting work on my long awaited (by ME anyway) trilogy, The Reality of Perception. I submitted it about mid day and hopefully it goes live soon. This is the cover. Sign in to see full entry.

Cold and Then Hot

Just got back from the orthopedic doctor and he advised that my wrist was healing, slowly but healing nonetheless. I explained that I was getting the jitters from not writing every day and he laughed. He told me to give it at least another day or so but also gave me an injection in the wrist to help...

Blurring the Lines

My wrist is beginning to allow me to use it some without the excruciating pain I had just a few days ago. I have not been idle! I posted a couple weeks back about another story line had popped into my mind and I've been gathering research material for it. Even in my fiction, I like to stay as close...
