At times, I think I should go back to posting and make this blog more active. My problem is that newer, shorter social media seems to be where it is at now. Must be why I stay away for so long. I am somewhat active on both Facebook and Twit…
When I was born, my life expectancy was just under 65 years. Today, for people like me born in the late 1940s, life expectancy is around 73. Born today, and life expectancy jumps to 76 and a half. Here I am at 78 and still living on. One of…

Elmore Leonard once said, “I never open a book with weather. If it’s only to create atmosphere and not a character’s reaction to the weather, you don’t want to go on too long. The reader is apt to leaf ahead looking for people.” So What Abo…
I spent a fair amount of time writing this week – pretty good for me. I no longer set daily or weekly word count goals, but 3,000+ words is a decent week. Mostly I am cleaning up two finished yet unpublished books. I also found the time to
