Good morning. I'm feeling better than last night, but I'm still not good. I've got a slight temp of 100.2. Nothing I can't handle, but it is making me feel like doing what I've been doing the last 24 hours - nothing. I suspect it is one of the variants of the flu that sweeps the nation every...

I started out yesterday morning full of energy, ready to do a ton of stuff, but by a bit after noon, I began to lose steam and will to continue standing up. Lisa has been down with what I think was a case of the flu, but I had been resistant to it... until yesterday. By three in the afternoon, I was... Sign in to see full entry.

I woke up too early. LOL. We have an elderly Boxer dog whose eyesight is beginning to fail him and sometimes he needs "help" navigating down the steep back steps. Most nights, the door is open, allowing our animals to be able to go outside as they need. "Brutus" is ten years old, and he is blind in... Sign in to see full entry.

Expanding Into Other Markets.
I should be posting this over in my "On Writing" area, but I may do that after I give this a shot. My primary publishing group editor called me last night at about 8PM to talk about the video trailer they are doing for me. Along the way, he asked me if I was "publishing beyond Amazon." I am not. He... Sign in to see full entry.
We have a tornado watch in the city today. I've been through a few of those, and while it is windy out, I don't "feel the vibe" I have felt in previous experiences with such storms. The power has been iffy the last few hours with the high winds swaying wires, but so far, so good. Starting about one... Sign in to see full entry.

Some of the most generous people have no money. Some of the wisest people have very little education. Some of the kindest people were those who have been hurt the most. What you do or don't have should have no bearing on how you treat others. Sign in to see full entry.
Whew, We went to bed really early last night and I was up and moving an hour earlier than normal. The wife is still snoozing, so I guess I worked her pretty hard. It's nice to be working together outside. It has been a teamwork effort, and I never could have accomplished what we have done without... Sign in to see full entry.

We had a remarkably productive day. We've raked about 95% of the yard clean. We know that we will have to do it at least two or three more times, but it is looking so much better. There is no more trace of the house that was there. It has all picked up and burned. We brought down one other... Sign in to see full entry.
Happy New Year! Lisa and I spent a quiet night together, watching an old movie and we were sleeping by 11 PM last night. I couldn't think of a better way to ring out an old year and welcome a new year than being with my wife. We will be outside soon, continuing our work in the backyard. It is...

It's a warmish day but it is raining on and off, so outdoor activity will be limited. It was weird not to come inside last night and write more in my "Hate" story, but that story is out of my system, and what I am posting over the next three days will be the last of it. I anticipate having it on... Sign in to see full entry.
