Last week I promised to publish a photo of the beach that would be in complete contrast to this one. I had hoped the photo would show you how much agony spring break brings to the quiet and staid residents of a vacation destination location. I imagined all the sympathy comments and the “poor John” kind […]
Wednesday Story day again. Last week we left Frank and Ms. Sutter about to give up and walk out together to face the police. Frank changed his mind and decided to stay behind and politely asked Ms. Sutter to go ahead without him. We need to join up with them for the finale of this […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day. I’m not doing shamrocks or green beer. Today’s discussion is on a new series for writers called Channillo. I have a once a week feature called Four Hundred Words or Less. Each Wednesday I post a story that is four hundred words or less. I have often said that what I […]
Okay for the most of the United States I’m rushing this list a bit. I have always thought of spring as a matter of the mind and not necessarily how the weather is behaving (or not as the case may be). Spring here in South Texas has definitely arrived. I can tell because when I […]
I am honored to be nominated by Guy Portman for the Versatile Blogger Award.

Guy Portman is the author of two interesting books Necropolis and […]

Well the sun finally came out and with it a few spring breakers. This year the spring break season started a week ago, but the weather was so bad no one showed up. Here is a picture of the beach I took last Saturday. Normally during spring break there would be mobs of people. Nest […]
Thursday is the time for me to post some things about myself or my surroundings and today I thought I would give you an idea of some of the watering holes around our town. The residents describe our city as a drinking village with a fishing problem. This tour will give you some idea of […]
Wednesday Story day is here and last week we left our trio in a bit of a fix. Billy was taken into custody while he was letting the hostages go free. Ms. Sutter has recommended that Frank lay down his gun and walk out to face the police with her. Frank, of course, thinks […]
