Close Call
Read more: Close CallIt was a close call. Almost made it to my first ever writers conference. As usual, my plans were wiped out by job-related stuff that pretty much shot my weekend to you know where.

The Railroaded Writer
Read more: The Railroaded WriterDeb says I need to post more frequently. She’s right, but spare time comes at a premium & stress levels are off the chart. My day job (as you will see below) tends to keep me buried, & mentally exhausted. Being away from home doesn’t do much to help the creative flow either. Writing is…

Eye Was Just Thinkin’…
Read more: Eye Was Just Thinkin’…Eye get annoyed reading some blogs or listening to someone speak when every sentence starts with the word eye.

My youngest son was born a few weeks before my grandfather passed away. My grandson Jack was born a few weeks before my dad died. Strange how history repeats. I hope my grandson…

Just A Peek
Read more: Just A PeekSpent this week in Miami – only 52 to go. The place is one giant tropical traffic jam. Gonna miss the haunted seaside town of St Augustine. The plan is to go home on weekends – 600 miles round trip. What’s so bad about 30,000+ miles of driving? We’re trying to find a suitable place to live down there,…
