 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 […]

We have snow. And then a lot of it went away because temps clawed their way back up to the high 30s/low 40s F. Then it snowed again. But the temperature is okay and we’re getting out four or five times a day. As that drops, we’ll go out fewer times with shorter walks because […]

Dear {name}, Fall is clinging although almost all the trees have shed. It is fairly dank with sounds are seemingly amplified because there’s nothing to muffle them. 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.
