Hi, This is Simone from Kansas City. How May I Help You?

Whew... besides being colder than sin last night (for Florida) I've spent the last three hours on the phone with the "fine people" in charge of the Vella stuff. I accidentally posted the same episode twice in a row, and it has taken me fifteen days to get that account unlocked. I had to make seven... Sign in to see full entry.

My New Audible Book Is About Ready for Submission to ACX!

I'm tied up in the production of several Audible books. I may be away for several days as I work with three different narrators. One guy is a fav of mine, and I can trust him to do what I asked, how I asked, and be done when he tells me it will be done. He was a newbie when we first met. The other...

The Boat

Good morning. It got down to 54 last night, enough where I lit our room heater. I set it to keep the room about 62 and keep the moisture in the air from becoming dew on my hair. The cooler temps allow us to sleep a little closer instead of being on opposite sides of the bed, trying not to drown in... Sign in to see full entry.

Attack of the Drones

A friend of mine used his drone to make a video of the racetrack where I have worked since 1993. I thought it was rather neat! Watch it by clicking here. We are having a nice weekend and will take this day off as well. Lunch is being served a little late, but it is ready now. Talk again soon. V Sign in to see full entry.

It's 1:45 AM and I am about to go to bed. I run a steady FB posting I make, telling people who are stressed out and need an ear to email me or call me. You would be surprised at how many times I get called. We were just going to call it a night at about 11:30 when my cell rang. Two hours later, I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

After another pretty cool night at 55 degrees, it is becoming a magnificent day. We had a lot of plans to do this and do that, but we decided to do nothing and enjoy it. My wife is prepping a few things so we can go out back and eat lunch on the abandoned boat. LOL. I guess I really should take a... Sign in to see full entry.

Keeping in mind I'm saying this from the POV of a Floridian, "Baby, it's cold outside!" We had another night of a low down to 55, but this time, I had taken strides to prevent shivering all night. It took me about thirty minutes to find and set up the 15,000 BTU LP ventless gas heater in the room,... Sign in to see full entry.

A Brief Video From Last Night

We got through the night and hopefully, the storm without damage. This video was taken by a friend of ours near Kissimmee at about 1 AM. It got worse after that. Reports are there were "hundreds of casualties," but there is no "official" count or estimate. Duke Energy, the main source of electricity... Sign in to see full entry.

9:30 EST Update

We are getting a little rain, but a wind of about 25-35 mph. We are safe, but much of Florida to the south of us is devastated, with over one million ++++ people without power. I consider my family to be blessed, but I have a lot of friends from downstate who are in danger from Lake Placid to... Sign in to see full entry.

Other than being *cold* by Florida standards at 58 this morning and currently at 63, things are quiet here. The skies are gray and the breeze is a bit stiffer than usual, but no sign of the storm that is hitting the Tampa area. Local projections say it will cut diagonally southwest to the northeast...
