The Day Rolled out about 2. For some reason, still recovering from the camping trip. I might not walk tomorrow, or keep it short. Today again I messed around the house a bit, went for a walk and got some pics. I also posted a video of the place where Dan and I went camping. It’s a calm video, between rainstorms, to show people why we go there. Also posted a few pics from the trip. … Read more
Hi Folks, There’s some old wisdom that says if you take care of the little things, the big things will take care of themselves. It’s true for gas tanks. If you keep the top half full, the bottom half will take care of itself. It’s true for health. If you eat right and exercise, you won’t have nearly as many health problems as a lot of folks do. And it’s true for writing. Oh man, is … Read more
The Day Rolled out at 2:30. Checked email and, from that, a few journal entries. Congrats to my friend Bonnie for a good start on a personal writing challenge. Also had an email from my buddy Dan, to let me know he’s on his way down. We’re headed for the Lower Gila Box on a camping trip this morning around 6. And just then I realized I hadn’t written the story of the week yet. (grin) … Read more
The Day Rolled out at 2:30. Checked email and went looking on CraigsList for a shell for my pickup. I don’t really use it as a truck anymore to haul things that don’t need protection from the weather, so…. Will spend the morning in Tucson for doctor and other things, including picking up that shell. Another good walk this morning, though only a little over 4 miles. The 7.4 yesterday wore me out. (grin) Took my … Read more
The Day Rolled out at a little after 1. Checked email and took care of some other housekeeping type matters. Had another good walk this morning. I set out to do 6, but with various side trips to line up pics, I ended up with just under seven and a half miles. Great walk. And so far I can still move. (grin) Went out about 4:15, was at the two mile mark (per the road signs) … Read more
The Day Rolled out at 2:30. Had a good walk this morning up an arroyo. Four wheeler ATVs hadn’t torn it up too badly, but neither was the sandy bottom quite as packed as I hoped it would be from the rain. Back on roads for awhile I guess. Been just doing little or nothing most of the morning. Topic of the Night: Quick, Somebody Stop Me I hate misunderstandings. I despise them. I screwed up … Read more
The Day Rolled out at 2:30 but after being awake and dozing off an on for two full hours. So I’m starting the day with sand in my eyes. Ugh. Happens. Worked on my Audio Lectures website over at http://HEStanbrough.org to make it responsive as well. I think that’s all for websites until someone takes me up on the weekly challenge. Only took an hour. Kind of a fun diversion. Over on Dean’s website yesterday (July … Read more
The Day Rolled out at 1. Spent an hour or so just waking up, checking out a few websites. I shouldn’t do that. Most often when I look at other websites that have anything to do at all with writing I am disappointed or flat out annoyed. JA Konrath is an avid supporter of Amazon Kindle Unlimited. For some reason, he apparently sees nothing wrong with supporting Amazon’s drive toward a monopoly. Another famous guy constantly … Read more
Happy 4th of July Independence Day to everyone. Hope it’s an enjoyable one for you. The Day Slept ’til almost 3 this morning. Woohoo! But a little late to work. Okay, first, a very brief announcement. Beginning with tomorrow’s post (so July 4), this particular post will go out at 7 p.m. instead of 6 p.m. As it is right now, sometimes this post cuts into my real writing time. Can’t have that. I wrote the … Read more
