Wow, where to start? I blogged about my fish awhile back. And how two of my favorites died. I’ve never had such a hard time with fish and got to wondering why. So, I tested my tap water. The first time, about a month ago, the ph was off the charts. It was so alkaline [...]

This morning Andre found a baby bluejay hopping around on our lawn. The neighbor’s cat got him and knocked him out of the nest. So he put the little guy in a hanging planter to keep him away from the cat. I went and bought some worms from the pet store, but by the time [...]

I messed up my New Year’s Resolution :( by missing the last two weeks. It got crazy here, with trying to write, and dealing with end of the school year junk (band concerts), and fish. I jinxed Pudge and Moby Dick :(. But I am pretty sure I figured out the problem and fixed [...]

My youngest son wants to be a marine biologist. Since he was a little thing, about five, he’s had a facination with sharks. As he’s grown older his interest has grown to include other types of fish. This happens to be something we share. At one time I also wanted to be a marine biologist. [...]

Okay, first things first. I must apologize in advance for offending. Because I know a lot of you won’t agree with me, and that is perfectly fine. This is just my opinion.
It seems to me that more and more engagements are turning into huge productions and are less and less about love and a celebration [...]

I really wanted to like the chair, but I just couldn’t. The adjustability was fantastic. The comfort? Not so much. It had a cushioned seat, but I swear I’ve never sat on a harder surface. I think a concrete bench would have been more comfortable. Within twenty minutes of sitting in the chair, my butt [...]

Recently, I came to the conclusion that my writing process was no longer working for me. The old process included: writing with no particular goal in mind. Just write until I got frustrated then plot. That frustration started occurring sooner and sooner, and I got fed up. It seemed the stress was sending me away [...]

This past December I redid my oldest’s room. We painted and did a massive seek and destroy mission with all his old toys. He hadn’t played with them in years, but was reluctant to let go of them. BeforeIt was a bit painful and kind of traumatic, but he survived, and he loves his new [...]

Recently, I did some edits for a re-release which I mentioned the week before last. It should’ve been quick easy edits, but I’m a bit of a perfectionist. Okay, okay, there’s no “bit to it,” I’m a perfectionist. I ended up in my chair for twelve hours a day for ten days. It would have [...]

Every Monday-Thursday I go workout with my sister in the evenings. It’s become a ritual and has not only brought us closer together, but it gives us a break from work, kids and computers. Last night we went through an upper body workout pecs, delts, triceps, biceps, lats. I was finishing up my workout on [...]
