Digital and Premium cable channels are still out, but who cares. I want my Internet. Turns out the cheap little cable modem they insisted on giving me croaked. They can’t get to my house until Monday! For the cable channels and the (most likely) fried cable box, that’s fine, but … Continue reading →
My home internet access has been down since yesterday afternoon. I hope it will be back up when I get home tonight, but if not, I may be off-line for a bit. Oh, and I’ll be getting ready just in case Hurricane Dennis decides to visit. How nice he wanted … Continue reading →

The Spurs jumped to a commanding 2-0 lead in the Finals series. I fully expect the Pistons to regain their footing when the series moves to Detroit on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. The Spurs made good use of their home court advantage. Her house is empty, so I feel much … Continue reading →
Yes, I’m taking this time to get to know Merlin, my primary antagonist, better. I’ve determined I don’t know him well enough, and that’s why something important is missing from Twilight. As I learn more about Merlin, I’ll know how to plan revisions. I may have to do the same … Continue reading →
