111? Seriously?

The Weather Channel is telling me it could hit 111 today! I don't need that today. It's been hot - mid to high 90s, but it's Florida. We knew that would and could happen, but this 110+ temperature stuff with the high humidity will take the starch out of everything around us. The only room we have... Sign in to see full entry.

Last night was the quietest Fourth of July we have spent here. I suspect there will be a lot of fireworks tonight, but typically, they have been much noisier than last night. I suspect they will make up for that tonight! We originally thought about going to the Gulf Coast for the day but decided it... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't Look!

It's 'only' supposed to be about 93 today, so it should be a nice day. Yesterday, I had to go to the hospital in Valdosta to have a large patch of skin cancer removed (for the second time!). The procedure took nearly an hour and would be listed under "absolutely no fun whatsoever." Here is the photo... Sign in to see full entry.

Yada, Yada, Yada

I start chemo again this morning, and as I was sitting down to write this real quick, I got a call from the Michigan State Police. Thirty minutes later, I'm now twenty minutes late. The story of my life. More when I get home! V Sign in to see full entry.

It's "cooling off" a bit today. We will have a high of 90 today, with rain moving in about 3:30/4 pm. We can handle that. So far, it's been a quiet morning. The cops have not called me to ask if I am alone and free to answer their questions. If I can make it to noon, that would be the first time... Sign in to see full entry.

Another day, another ten hours in the low 90s. It rained on and off last night, but ya might not know it by the ground this morning. We have heavy rain coming in again at about four in the afternoon. Lisa wanted to cook outside today, so I suspect it will be a matter of timing. I was writing the... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Florida day looms—humid, hot, and partly cloudy. I can handle it, especially considering the temperatures here in January and February. There are a few other things I can talk about, but right now, the topic dominating this household is the murder that happened Wednesday (6.26.24) morning. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Yes, Sir. This is Detective Thompson Calling...

I'm involved in a murder investigation. For real... no kidding around here. I was born and raised in Sheridan, Michigan, and much of my father's side of the family still lives in and around Sheridan. When I go back to Michigan, I will spend at least a full day about a mile from this murder scene.... Sign in to see full entry.

I've spent several hours on the phone with the guys at FIG (Fresh Ink Group) lately, and I knew that would most likely be the case. However, they still surprise me with some of the minute information they need. I've also begun my story tentatively titled "That Russian Guy Down the Road." I'm only... Sign in to see full entry.

I didn't sleep well last night, and it's showing this morning. I've fallen asleep at the keyboard twice. I'm blaming it on the heat and humidity, but it's a lack of sleep. UPDATES: I have officially signed a contract with FIG—FreshInkGroup. My only cost will be $350 for a new cover. Artwork isn't... Sign in to see full entry.
