Whew. Long day today, but we have done some significant things today beyond Lisa getting her suntan started. I'm not sure how things will be tomorrow. It could be a rainy day/weekend, but tomorrow should be warm. After that, the cold from the north is coming to visit again. All things considered, it... Sign in to see full entry.

My murder story is beginning to publish on the Vella platform. The first three are free. After that, Amazon has some formula to charge you and pay me. I don't set the price; Amazon does. This story is about murder; thus, it involves criminal behavior and the language spoken by someone who would... Sign in to see full entry.
It is a beautiful day here, well on its way to 80 degrees. Of course, we will pay for that this weekend as temps fall back into the 50s for the highs for about five days. And people wonder why they get sick! Lisa said she was going to 'work on her tan' today. I got in trouble when I asked her if... Sign in to see full entry.

A Quick Update on My Brother
I had no more than submitted my morning thoughts, and Jerry called me. He has almost all of his test results from the CT and bronchoscopy back, and everything is looking great. He is two-years post double lung transplant, and everything has been the best he could ever hope to have. He is gaining... Sign in to see full entry.
My cell has been ringing all morning, some important, most not. The wife is getting a lot of calls from her family, which is good. The weather has been pretty decent here, with a high of 77. In Michigan, where my brother is ready to come back to Florida, the weather is not so good. Our nephew sent... Sign in to see full entry.

I used to get dozens of calls throughout the day, but as I have continued to 'retire' from various jobs, that has greatly diminished. I set up a 'do not call' time area where I didn't take business calls before 9:30 AM or after 8 PM. I was up before then, and I was up after then, but I quickly... Sign in to see full entry.

After getting rather chilly, the day has actually become quite lovely. It is rapidly approaching 70, and I am more than ready to walk outside without a ten-pound winter coat. Today, our goal is to finish walking the grass for old, almost ancient pieces of glass and stray pieces of metal. I grew up... Sign in to see full entry.

Rocky Horror, Michigan Memories, Air Disasters, & Story Plotting
Yesterday was all about doing nothing, and I must say, it was definitely 'Mission Accomplished!' We drove around Madison County to see where we had settled and found a few exciting things to investigate on warmer days. Once we got back home, Lisa spent two, close to three hours talking with her... Sign in to see full entry.

In one word, I can describe last night here in northern Florida - COLD. If I was to add a second word, it would read 'BITTER COLD!' Last night, the winds were reportedly 35 to 45 mph, causing the wind chills to almost ZERO! The wife and I were warm and comfy, but when I went out with the dogs this... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm seeing the New England area will be buried in snow this weekend, with snowfall of 30 to 40" of snow to cover Maine, NH, and Vermont. New York state could get between 10 to 20 inches as well. What does Florida get out of it? There is no snow, but the wind speed outside is approaching a steady 30+... Sign in to see full entry.
