    Interesting news tidbit you might have seen.: “It happens once in the proverbial blue moon. This year, for the first time in nearly forty years, the first night of the Jewish festival, Hanukkah, falls on 24 December, Christmas Eve.” Did you see that…forty years? Kind of interesting. Doing the math then, the last time it…

    Lovely evening with the family and another Christmas video. Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse. This one included Donald Duck as Scrooge McDuck. I wonder what Charles Dickens would think of that? lol Wikipedia offers up many potential sources of the idea for Scrooge. This one is my favorite: “The man…

    Finished watching The Polar Express with my youngest. Was a good story…didn’t like the Santa in it though…looked too young?? Weird looking, I guess, don’t know. Neat animation though…wonder how they do it. My favorite part was the train on the ice. Fun. Kind of reminds me of dreams I’ve had where I’m driving down…

    This time of year I make it a point to watch Christmas movies with my youngest. Tonight it was The Polar Express. I had no idea what we were going to watch until I googled Christmas movies for kids and it came up among the suggestions. Unfortunately, we started watching too close to his bedtime…

    Two more chapters done for the story In His Name. Only around 4,000 or so words in, so could be a short story or novella. Don’t think it will be novel length, but we’ll see. Also, I think it will be a horror, but not entirely sure yet, since I “write into the abyss”. 😀 Slow going,…

    To paraphrase Dean Wesley Smith’s description of writing without an outline I’ve decided it feels more like “writing into the abyss” than “writing into the dark”. More dramatic I suppose, but hey, that’s me! 😉 Fun, lots of fun, scary and sometimes frustrating when I’ve got a glimpse of an idea of how the story…

        Day Eight of the “Blog Streak” and still have no idea of a better title for these posts. I’ll have a thought or two tomorrow about it while I’m thinking about next year. I remember so vividly – which is odd for me because I have the memory of a gnat – thinking…

    Thank God it’s Friday! Remember that saying? I can’t remember the last time I saw that anywhere… What happened? God used to be everywhere… now people act as if He’s not interested in the affairs of men. Writing this from my phone, so signing off for now. Hope all who read this have a wonderful,…

    Placeholder blog, to say that I’ve been on a streak. One more day and it will be a week! Yeah, doesn’t take much to make me happy, lol. Errands today, so got client work done late and of course the fiction suffered because I’ve got to get to bed so that I can get up…

    These two beasties are spending the night inside with us tonight! Very, very cold outside tonight, and while they do have an enclosed shed with lots of bedding in it, we didn’t want to take any chances so they’re sleeping in the house tonight. Should be interesting…these two have always been outside dogs, although we…
