Evening, dear Readers… At home, getting ready for an apparently usual or ordinary “old folks” regimen tomorrow morning, a colonoscopy. The process leading up to this examination is categorically unpleasant, let me assure you. It’s like a bad skit on … Continue reading →

And I’m still in Charlotte…still waiting & wondering when the rain & the lousy weather will cease & desist, et cetera~! If it’s not raining, it’s below freezing. Fortunately, I have the tower book MSS to work on. Been revising … Continue reading →

Back home last night around midnight….from another dash down to Texas. Friday’s arrival found me (along w/the rest of Houston) in the midst of a weird winter snow storm. Sleet, high winds, & plunging temperatures brought some strange weather conditions. … Continue reading →
