Resolute Resolutions For 2016

I've pondered exactly what to say here on this final day of 2015. I know I'll want to add something or take something away shortly after posting this but I'll just leave it. May the new year be all you hope it to be. V 2016 Resolutions A) Write an average of 1000 'usable words' every day. My old... Sign in to see full entry.

It Pays To Vacuum Sometimes

A busy day today. The Christmas tree is down, ornaments put away, the carpet was vacuumed, and everything is restored to normal. I got an email that the special fish I wanted will be available soon, I'll work to finish my 175 gallon aquarium set up. This will allow me to start my section on tropical...

Do Not Watch This Video

I'm not sure how many of you will be able to watch this video and, should you decide to watch it, how many might wish they hadn't seen it. There is no violence, no vulgarities, just a truth that only those "in the business" understand. This video was a reality done for a speaking contest of some... Sign in to see full entry.

'Relax,' I'm Finally 'Dreaming'

If you are reading my latest fiction offering, "Just Dreaming," I need to give you a small update. I had to go back and do a complete re-write of the first two paragraphs of Chapter One. When I went back to check on a small technical detail, I discovered I had completely botched the opening. I'm not... Sign in to see full entry.

We are still with power but in watching the local news/weather, I see a small but growing number of local power outages. The wind is predicted to escalate to roughly 30 to 35...

Weather Or Not

Naturally, just as I get time to begin to write again, we are being warned that we have a 18 to 24 hour ice storm coming this way with winds of 25 to 45 mph and about one to possibly two inches of ice, all depending on where the storm hits us.

The Sounds of Silence

As the family gradually begins to disperse on the journeys to their various homes, I am able to return to my desk in "relative" silence. The love of my family is the only earthly thing I have that rises above my love of writing. I've been remiss in my work of late but intend to fix that shortly. For... Sign in to see full entry.

My Grown Up Christmas List

This is a video I did back for Christmas 2001 for friends of mine who live in Brooklyn, NY. She was at a seminar being held in the World Trade Center that was hit first but left despite the announcements that "all was well." He worked for a firm that maintained the electrical of certain aspects of... Sign in to see full entry.

My Christmas Miracle

Just a quick note. This story happened just as you read it. There is no embellishment. Some will believe and some will not. I just wrote what happened. Merry Christmas!

What A Turkey

Obviously yesterday was a bad day for me. We'll leave it at that and I'll return to my writings. It's in the low to mid 40's here with temps in the low 60's expected tomorrow. I was out for my morning walk this morning and saw a big batch of wild turkeys making their way across the back woods. If I... Sign in to see full entry.
