I sound like an old bag pipe tonight every time I breathe out. Some nights I can sleep through the wheeze, and other nights, like this one, my own breathing wakes me up. Once I’m awake it’s Lynn’s snoring that keeps me awake. It’s a conspiracy is what it is. During the day I spend [...]
My dad used to have a saying that sort of fits how I’m feeling waiting for November 1st so i can start writing my novel for NaNoWriMo! “Jumpy as a fart in a hot skittle”. I’m like a race horse standing at the gate. I’m SO ready for this and want to start right now! [...]

I woke up this morning with the theme song to Superman running through my mind. I took that as a good sign, which it was until about an hour ago when it switched to “Sandman’s Comin’”. It’s hard to ignore that power of suggestion at this time of the day. Here’s a pretty clever political [...]
If that doesn’t beat all. Last night late I thought of a good story … one I don’t think I’ve ever told … and even knowing how unstable my memory is I didn’t write it down and for the life of me cannot remember it today. I’m sure it was a tremendous story and hopefully [...]

I was invited to be a guest writer on a site for grandparents, http://GrandparentTLC.com. You can read my post if you follow this link: Connecting with Grandchildren: Technology Brings Instant Gratification. We’ll count that for today’s post here as well. I mean, why not?
