Hey. I'm not working today, but Muse decided I was done sleeping. Such is life when you're owned by a tortoiseshell cat. LOL Two years ago today, I explored Black Isle. It's not a real island, more of a peninsula surrounded on three sides by water. It's to the north of Inverness, and has some … Continue reading Black Isle, Clootie Wells, and Healing

Yesterday was a busy day. Work, grocery pick up, therapy, walking, and getting ready for dinner, etc. Basically, I'm just now sitting down in my office to share a memory of Scotland. Will try to do another post tonight about what happened on the 12th. This story is from 8/11/2018. This was our 2nd full … Continue reading Loch Ness memories

August 10, 2018: The plane landed in Glasgow at approximately 6 am local time. I can't remember sleeping much as we flew across the Atlantic. That need that had been in my soul for decades had awoken like a hungry lion. I needed to get to Scotland, fulfill some promise made lifetimes ago. Only I … Continue reading Memories of Scotland, 2 years later

I don't know how long will be in the braces. I do have a follow-up visit with my Dr. tomorrow at 2:00 PM. Hopefully we will have better answers as to what's going on with the two fingers and exactly how long I will be in the braces. Until then I want to get back … Continue reading Testing 123

Sooo... I'm still typing via two fingers. The hands are in braces, and my physical therapist thinks I should see a specialist for the trigger fingers. Sigh. I'm currently waiting to hear my PCP's thoughts about that. The good news? First, I have discovered my laptop has speech-to-text built in. A microphone has been ordered. … Continue reading Good news!

Hey everyone, About two weeks ago, I noticed something that wasn't right. I woke up and my hands were stiff. Seriously stiff, where it hurt slightly to straighten them. This went on for three mornings straight. As the day went on they'd feel fine, at first. Still, there's arthritis in my family. I called and … Continue reading Owie

The rain fell in sheets. By the time Manak woke up enough to realize what was going on, his clothing was soaking wet. Add to that the layer of mud that clung to him and his body felt worse than the nonstop hangover raging through his head. No use moving, he thought. Rain’s not going … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Shore Leave – Episode 6 – A Surprise in the Morning

Hey everyone, I know I've neglected my blog lately. We're still learning our new characters for The Murder Hobos, and the stories aren't coming as fast as they did before. I'm writing, though, so that's good. I work retail. I've never tried to hide that. The book sales are, honestly, nonexistent for the one that's … Continue reading Seeing COVID in a new light

Morning, everyone! I've been super busy lately. The retail job where I work opened back up, and that's consumed about 20-30 hours of my week. Gaming, house cleaning, yard maintenance...it all adds up fast. Oh, and writing. I'm happy to announce that 'Scales & Stingers: A Heroes of Avoch Novel' is done! I've heard back … Continue reading Another story told

Nessa stood with the crowd, waiting. She’d never seen a bar fight before, let alone an organized one, so it would be fun. It’s not like anyone would be hurt, not really. There had to be clerics around, too. Seriously, why would they want anyone to die doing this? It’d make it impossible to get … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Shore Leave – Episode 5 – Christos
