Thursday – A Little Personal – Watch Heron

Here is a friend of mine that occasionally comes to survey what is going on from a perch on pole number 41. The entire beach has a marker every 10th of a mile, and this one is the pole near our walkover. In fact, you can see some of the construction rising out of the sand on […]

Thursday – A Little Personal – Sunshine Award

  Charles Yallowitz nominated me for this award. I have been pretty much an award free blog unless someone wants to give me a prize, food, or money. I thought about avoiding this with some excuse like a broken finger, working on a big project, or having trouble with my computer. Then I looked at […]

Thursday – Little Personal #JusJoJan

I was in the backyard watching the dogs and under cloudy skies saw a couple of sights that made me smile. We can always count on seeing a brown heron or pelican on the beach. A Great Blue Heron is something not often seen. So imagine my surprise when this guy wandered into the scene.   […]

Thursday – A little Personal

I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year. I will close this year with a couple of photos of some Herons who I  see during my bike rides on the beach.  I managed to get close enough to take his picture. The day was foggy and misty so this photo although […]

Thursday- A Little Personal – Birds of Paradise

Thought we could use a little Birds of Paradise break. These are in the front yard. Hope you enjoy.  

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. I would ask the Wall Street Journal to fact check completely before using this story. Top Ten Things Not to do with Stuff […]

Thursday – A Little Personal – The Birds

This week was one of those times here on the coast where the Alfred Hitchcock movie The Birds came to mind. For whatever reason, there have been a great number of birds gathering on the beach. It may be the availability of small fish but as a fiction writer I tend to want the motivation to […]

Thursday – A Little Personal

    We have been having a little rain this week. While walking the dogs, I looked out over the water and saw this cloud formation. There are three waterspouts under the clouds but unfortunately unless you blow this photo up they remain hard to see. I marked them with little arrows so maybe you can […]
