  • Death, Where Is Thy Sting?

    July 3, 2009

    • Mary Ellen wanted us to come see their new home, so yesterday we drove up to the central part of Illinois to see where they have moved for Brian's new job assignment.  Thus, I am blogging a day late.

  • Hurricanes, The Mad

    June 22, 2009

    • Hurricanes, The Mad Gasser, and the Kokomo Hum   For the second Thursday evening in a row, I saw writer friends.  On the second Thursday of the month, Southern Illinois Writers Guild sponsors an open mike at Latta Java in Marion. When I can, I like to go to hear others read.  I might not have made it this month since Jeannie and Cecelie were visiting, but I had a phone call that ...
