99.85% of the people I know know you only call me after 10 am. Do I sleep that late? No. That time is my time. I use it to do some reading, writing, being with my wife, and just plain and simple sitting in my office recliner and thinking. Everyone and their brother who MIGHT call me are told if you...

I've been at the clinic in Valdosta, where I got a free haircut today. They were finding more cancer spots popping up (again) on my head. They removed (a few of them quite painfully!) about a dozen when the technician said she wanted to cut my hair off to be sure she had gotten every spot. Before I... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. For multiple reasons, I can't forget the things we did four years ago as the events in our lives played out. Lisa left me... totally my fault... I couldn't get through to her and I was totally distraught about that, but that series of events made our relationship unbreakable. Yeah, I... Sign in to see full entry.

I asked an AI Bot a question about best-selling stories and characters, and I have posted it in my "On Writing" area. I learned a lot from this exercise! V Sign in to see full entry.
I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, but so is the weather—another day with a high of 98+, with tons of humidity. Normally, I don't let the heat get to me, but this is getting ridiculous. It's hard to work on a manuscript when sweat is pouring into your eyes. In the meantime, I need your... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Sunday morning, and it looks like another very warm day ahead. It is also Lisa's birthday, so we are going out for breakfast. I know I say it a bit excessively here some days, but without this woman in my life, I doubt I would still be alive. That is not an exaggeration. When I wanted to stop... Sign in to see full entry.

I was gonna get this all done early, and then things went stupid. I had sat down, found the photo I wanted to post here, and was about to start... and people knocked on the door. That was at 9:25 AM. It is now 12:40, and I'm betting the 'bar' is empty. (We don't drink... it's just a saying!) Oh,... Sign in to see full entry.

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.
