I haven’t said much about it, but I’ve been following the auctions for Larissa Ione. I don’t know Larissa, but she and her family lost almost everything in Hurricane Katrina. For someone I don’t know, her paths cross mine in several places–she’s an Air Force veteran, a writer, she loves … Continue reading →
I had my six-month follow-up for my PRK surgery yesterday. Everything’s fine. My vision is still 20/20, and the doc confirmed my over-the-counter +1.25 reading glasses are the correct strength for my eyes. Interestingly, she also confirmed that she can tell by my optic nerve that I was very nearsighted … Continue reading →
I’ve been consistently uncomfortable throughout writing Twilight with the TMI (too much information) Factor. The villain in this book uses sex as a weapon, but I really don’t want the book to be about sex. (If you’re looking for sex, it’ll still be there, but I’m striving for a “less … Continue reading →
A power outage in LA equals no Rantings and Ravings and no Mercury Ranch.org for at least two hours and ten minutes. The iPowerWeb support page did an excellent job of keeping me aprised of the situation; however, I thought they had backup power to keep all this stuff running … Continue reading →

No, you haven’t heard much from me since the Spurs won the Championship. It’s been too darn hot in Alabama, so I headed North. Way North. She seems to have been having trouble remembering to lock doors lately, so I had to come back to guard the house for Her … Continue reading →
I spoke to my brother tonight. His house is one mile inland from the Mississippi Gulf Coast in Pascagoula. He had 22 inches of water in his house. He has telephone, water, sewer, electric, and cable TV (but no internet yet) back in service. He didn’t have mud to shovel … Continue reading →
Got an email update from my dad. My brother is back in his home in Pascagoula. He returns to work on Tuesday (for cleanup operations, but it’s a paycheck). These two things alone make him more fortunate than many on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The bad news. While there doesn’t … Continue reading →
