Thursday – A little Personal
I had the occasion yesterday to attend a Christmas party at my old company. (Yes I was invited) Well, it’s not my old company it is the company from which I retired, and it was nice to return. I remember when we threw a Christmas party, and some of the retirees would show up. […]
Thursday – A Little Personal
As the regulars know I’m getting set to launch my second John Cannon thriller. The official launch will be on Sunday after I post the Fifty Two Views of the Gulf. For the rest of the week, I will be trying to recognize those who have volunteered to carry the launch message. This activity will […]
This list is inspired by going through some boxes recently and coming across some unusual things. Of course, most of what follows is made up, and so I didn’t have these experiences.

Thursday – A Little Personal – The Birds

Thursday – A Little Personal
I just returned from an excellent writer’s conference and have the need to change/set some short-term goals if I am to accomplish what I envisioned as a successful conclusion when I started this writer’s journey. To begin the process, I think a restatement of my original goal (mission statement) is in order. Here it […]
