“The pond is still in the cool air. Geese nest as the ducks peck at weeds along the banks. A heron stands statue-like waiting to pounce. The tan light of the setting sun mottles through the greening trees. I hear a hawk in the distance. Spring is here. I am at peace. #writing

When I was young, my parents fed me. I grew up and learned the truth.

It’s difficult being funny when the world around you is insane.

Just because you have a sense of humor doesn’t mean you’re funny.

My parents let me go out and play in the street. They knew that if the traffic didn’t get me the sniper rifle would.

I like how this latest book is coming together. It needs two more editing passes. It’s not a great book; it’s an acceptable book. It’s better than the previous book. For me, that’s a win. #writing #thriller

“Tequila kills.” He points at the bottle of clear liquid. “Why don’t you mind your own business?”, the despondent man replies, then takes another shot. The bottle smashes onto his head before he can react. The tall stranger saunters out of the bar, his job done. #writing

It’s time to relax and not do much but edit.

Grr. Gonna return the bike. This unit has issues. I love the bike, however. Will have to wait since shipments are on back order.

Happy National Big Wind Day

I guess it’s the season to horrify children with old guys dressed up in ugly rabbit costumes.

Gotta get stuff done before I need to run errands today.
