I bought some Halloween costumes on sale from Disney. Not for me, of course, but for the dogs. I couldn’t wait four months to see how they looked, so we tried them on and took pictures. When I uploaded them to the computer I found some other shots of Harley,…
I have a big project going on at work this week and I didn’t get as much done as I had hoped. I had actually hoped to finish it and I’m only about halfway done, so that’s not good. I can’t think about it now, though, because it’s the weekend…
A couple of years ago my dad and I took a memoir writing class at the college. We enjoyed the class and the other people in it so much that we all formed a writer’s group that has been meeting monthly ever since. The teacher from that original class is…
Let’s see, on May 5th I went to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. The following weekend was my three day camping trip to Virginia. The weekend of the 19th my mom and I went shopping and saw Spidey 3 and Dad and I went to our writer’s group meeting….

It’s the 26th and I’ve only written 35,500 words this month. I have no chance of finishing on Wednesday, not without missing a couple of days from work, and probably not even then. I am glad I got that much done, but I let myself down. I should have written…
I have two Harley stories tonight. First, I took Harley outside with me when I went to get my iPod out of my car. Harley is a fun dog and we love him to bits, but he has one really bad flaw. When he sees something moving, he chases it,…
I thought last Saturday that I had worked out all of the plotting I would need to finish the book. But in the last couple of days I realized that my pacing was off. When I finished last night’s section with them stopping to take a nap only a sections…
I spent almost the entire workday in meetings. The morning and all of lunch was taken up in a meeting with the owners and sales staff, trying to get them excited and educated about something new we have developed. Some of them got it, some didn’t. It doesn’t seem complicated…
