 Greetings from Fiji, in the South Pacific For those of you who celebrated Christmas Day, especially those with young children, I hope it was all you needed it to be. A celebration of the season, of giving, of being with family or friends. I know that this is a hard time of year for many. It’s

Greetings from the Sub-Arctic FINALLY, I’m back to some semblance of 100%. Head is clear, lungs are clear, and I just took Stanley for a walk through the woods and was breathing just fine – no threat of an asthma attack. It’s 22F out which is where I need to be able to go outside. Stanley

I left Stanley with his mom in the Sub-Arctic while I traveled to Las Vegas to run the 20Books Vegas 2022 author conference. There are over 1900 authors registered for the show. Authoring, publishing, and all things that go into keeping creative people creating boils down to one thing. There’s a machine in Bally’s Las

Happy Halloween! And now it’s cold. Down to +3F yesterday. I was able to get through a couple walks with Stanley in the woods. We took our time. Mostly. Hurrying is what does me in. I have to move at a measured pace with rest stops so I don’t have to take big drags of

You can see our house from the road. We need snow to brighten up the world (and block the view). Why yes, those are lip prints on Stanley’s head. We

I had to race down to Phoenix this last week as my mom is on her last leg. My brother told me to hurry, so I did. She looked pretty bad but was still upright. Unfortunately, she didn’t know who I was, but I kept my dad company. Mom’s pallor was a bit gray and

GREETINGS FROM THE SUB-ARCTIC! If aliens didn’t exist, we would invent them to explain the inexplicable More Autumn pictures because it’s still the season. Temps are holding steady – high 30s to mid 50s Fahrenheit – but the leaves have accelerated their descent. It finally stopped raining. That was almost every day for about six

Fall isn’t rushing in on us like it usually does. We are getting a little bit of rain while temperatures have been consistent for almost an entire month. Lows in the mid to high 40s (F) and highs in the mid 50s.The change started early, but since then, it’s been lingering. Fall usually lasts a
