It was another chilly night for northern Florida, with the low hitting about 38 last night. I started posting earlier this morning, but then Lisa called, and we talked about stuff for a lot longer than expected. I think she is just as 'lonely' as I am. She's having a wonderful visit, and I am very... Sign in to see full entry.

The Sounds of Silence
It's been quiet here without Lisa here. I had forgotten how much I disliked a totally silent house and the ' sounds of silence. ' She called me at 8:20 this morning to tell me it was nine degrees there in Lansing, and I told her not to bring any of that crap down here! I think she misses me as much...

The Power AND The Internet Are Back
The storm has quieted down to a steady rain, but there was quite a neat display of lightning in the sky for a while! The power wasn't off very long, but the Internet was slow is coming back in line. As I said earlier, my wife is in Michigan, and we aren't together for the first time in a very long... Sign in to see full entry.
I had just sat down at my desk to make my daily posts when the rain storm got serious. One big bolt of lightning sounded, BOOM! No power and obviously, no Internet. This shouldn't take long to resolve, and I will be back once things return to normal. I'm back in the bedroom with the dogs. Lisa is in... Sign in to see full entry.

And I'm Back After an Intermission & A Story Needs A Name - Can You Help?
Good morning. We went out to dinner and dancing, but we kind of forgot it was Valentine's Day. We got to eat, and we managed to get in a few dances that didn't involve being pushed around like we were on the front line of a football play. Then, we went home. We had a good time, but the place was... Sign in to see full entry.

Would ya look at this!?!
I was experimenting with my camera on one of my favorite subjects. Remember that Lisa is very shy these days, but she is extremely beautiful and she makes me happy. Now, there's a lot of makeup on, and she's all 'gussied up,' but this is the reason my heart continues to beat. I'm not 'happy' about... Sign in to see full entry.
Good morning. It got right chilly last night at 47. (yeah, I know! My other home in Newberry, Michigan, is at +2) I've had several people read the "Conversations With A Space Alien," and to a person, they loved it. I'm going to wait a few more days, go back in, finish cleaning it up, and then have... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. Yesterday, I started to write a third story for my trilogy of strange stuff. This story is the latest, and it is about a young boy who meets up with a 'group' of space aliens. Somewhere along the line, it became something entirely different. Mr. R, the chief alien, begins to talk with... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. I'm feeling pretty good this morning. I suspect my head may not have touched the pillow before I fell asleep. Yesterday was a busy day between working in the yard and working on my novel, and today will look a lot like yesterday. I have been on a torrid pace in my writing, and I... Sign in to see full entry.

Big V Yaks About His Writing - Again - Part Two (Also A Bit About Ghosts)
I stayed up late last night (as I told ya in the post I made at 2 am!), but it was worth it. I got a lot done, and I made significant progress in my "Trilogy of Sci-fi." The story I intended to be the third story was moved to be the second because, as I think I explained here earlier, I accidentally... Sign in to see full entry.
