The original title of this post was going to be “The World Wants Your Head.” I read that in an article and it stuck with me. If I can find the article, I’ll put a link to it at the bottom of the post*. The article talked about how the world constantly demands your attention. …
So I’m having one of those weeks where I don’t remember much of what happened. It was Sunny – n – Seventy on Saturday and I spent the day doing ALL THE THINGS outside. Then there was an epic grilling session. So no writing on Saturday and Sunday, which isn’t unusual. Monday, I got up …
I don’t normally participate in National Novel Writing Month. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have anything against it. Usually, when November comes around, I’m not in a place where I can participate without putting the current project on hold for a month. This year is different.

On a rare Saturday* (which will become less rare**, most likely – more on that Sunday) last week, I got some writing done. I got some other stuff done as well, but the writing was up there on the cool list. That was the only day during the weekend that I wrote. Monday, I got …

I don’t know about you, but I’m kinda digging the alliteration in the title there. Anyway, here’s what’s been going on since the last Friday Fess-Up. I didn’t do a damned thing over the weekend. Well, that’s not entirely true. You may have noticed that I’ve got a blog. Sunday morning is usually when I’ll …
This weekend included a couple of firsts for me. Friday night I went out to see my first, ever, live hockey game AND I stepped into a casino for the first time. Some of you might be wondering what this has to do with anything, and why I’ve decided to bore you with it on …
