I think I demand way too much from the people I consider friends. First and most important, I expect loyalty. Unfortunately, that is what I rarely find. Maybe it would be different if I were a better friend myself. I think it’s time to go back to being a hermit….
I hope you had a good holiday. Ours was very quiet. We had Easter baskets, of course, and went to church and spent the rest of the day goofing off. In fact, I goofed off all weekend except for doing a little writing. I wrote my eighth story tonight, so…
I don’t know if you remember, but I decided to do a challenge similar to NaNoWriMo. I’m trying to give myself a break from my novel and force myself to look at new ideas, so I came up with the 30 Stories in 30 Days challenge. I was going to…
The book is done, at least the rough draft is, and on Harley’s birthday, too! I have pictures for you, of Harley’s birthday, not the book, but you’ll have to wait until tomorrow for those. I actually finished at 12:02 this morning, so Harley’s birthday is technically over, but who…
My HTML class went pretty well today. I never quite got in the zone, but it wasn’t bad. If you’ve never taught a class or given a lecture or spoken in public you may not know the zone, but it’s great when it happens. My friend-who-must-not-be-named said it must be…
I’m teaching an HTML class at work, starting tomorrow. I have 17 coworkers who have signed up. That means there are at least 17 people who are willing to give up their lunch hours to listen to me talk. That’s kind of humbling. Of course, I’m a great teacher, and…
I bought a 2006 Nissan XTerra just before Christmas. It had everything I wanted except for the color, which is dark gray. Yuck. I looked into getting it painted, but that ran into thousands of dollars. Instead I looked for, and found, every imaginable auto accessory featuring Tinker Bell. I…
I ran across a forum dedicated to one of the high schools I attended a looooooooong time ago. I spent my Senior year in California, but most of my high school years were spent in Munich, Germany. I would post on there to find out if anyone remembers me, but…
This time change is kicking my butt. I can’t get to sleep at a normal time and then I have to get up an hour earlier than I’m used to. I don’t know how or why we have Daylight Savings Time, or who thought of it, nor do I care….
My dad and I talked about my book tonight and I think I know what I need to do to finish it. I have to go back a few pages and rewrite what I already have. That will solve the “I’ve painted them into a corner, now what I do”…
