Good morning. I forgot tp mention that yesterday was our sixth anniversary. I wish we could have gone back the the banks of the Tahquamenon River where we were married, but we went out for an early dinner and spent about 30 minutes dancing. As Lawrence Welk used to say, "What memories, what... Sign in to see full entry.

Finally... Darn Lightning!
The weather here has been crazy today. I've gone through months without seeing that much lightning. I've lost two computers to lightning in the last 16 months, and I don't want to break in a new one. I usually will buy a new computer, put it on the desk next to my old one, and begin to break it in... Sign in to see full entry.

The Surveyor Who Refused to Erase a Line Thomas Mercer left Professor Benton’s office carrying nothing more substantial than a legal pad filled with hurried notes, yet it felt as though he had been handed something far heavier. As he eased his truck onto the two-lane road leading back toward... Sign in to see full entry.
The Me Part
We had some heavy showers and some extremely heavy winds, but all is well. We are lucky... some dogs don't like severe thunder and lightning storms... ours were sound asleep during the worst of it. I just finished editing the story segment listed below this post. I'll let ya in on a secret... I... Sign in to see full entry.

Just Me For A While
It's been "one of those days." Endless phone calls, people dropping by unexpectedly, and our little dog managed to slip his collar and made me run about half a mile... and the Weather Channel says it is 94, with a 'feels like' of 118. Normally, I wouldn't believe that... but today... as The Monkees... Sign in to see full entry.

Just Me... Let Me Ask Ya Some Stuff
I've read about how Stephen King writes in various articles and interviews, and when his book "On Writing" came out, I bought it right away. As usual, he blathered about HIS political thoughts and how stupid anyone who thought differently was. I have no idea why you would deliberately irritate half... Sign in to see full entry.
New Story Post... Very Little Chatter From Me
I'll be back to add some details for those of you who are still actively writing... in the meantime... more story. The Map Beneath the Map The basement smelled exactly the way Thomas expected old archives to smell. Dusty, old cardboard with a hint of mildew, and paper that had spent decades quietly...

I just wanted to point something out in the story I am posting. First... I haven't written tomorrow's selection yet. It is there in outline form, but it's far from ready to post here tomorrow. I'm going to 'sign off,' but keep working on my latest novel, "Different Hands on the Elephant - Different... Sign in to see full entry.
