Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
I tried to shake the rust out of my tired arms and legs. I thought I looked like a graceful young ballerina stretching her legs or maybe a boxer hitting each of his arms and mentally preparing himself for a fight.

I shut my laptop. It's been a few weeks now, so I can admit that I had a smug little smile spread across my face. I had signed up to write a novel in 30 days as part of the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) challenge and, through the first week or so of the... Continue Reading →

My wife spent weeks picking out a new umbrella for our deck. She researched the choices and compared prices and styles. When she finally found one she liked, she checked it against other reviews. Finally, she ordered it. We like to spend our summer evenings, especially our weekends, sitting together with a cold drink and... Continue Reading →
