Views of the Neighborhood – Galveston Book Festival

Yesterday I was in Galveston for their Book Festival. I had to drive 41/2 hours. Such is the life of an Island dweller. Everything is hours away. It was two lane road the whole way. This garbage truck in front of me was my best friend for twenty miles. He kept me from exceeding the speed […]

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt “Picture”

  It is Stream of Consciousness Saturday time again and this weeks prompt is “picture.” We are supposed to write about a picture that we see when we sit down to write.

Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

Friday is here and a good thing too. I am heading to Galveston to participate in the Galveston Book Fair. The fair is from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM tomorrow. I am driving, and it is a 41/2 hour trip by car, so I need to go up the night before. I have been anticipating […]

Thursday A Little Personal – Lisa Burton Interview with Greg Petros

“What do you want to do today, Bailey?” “I’m not fussy. What do you want to do?

She is interviewing the main character, Greg […]

Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day

  An Award if you qualify. It is Wednesday Story Day again, and last week we were surprised by Trish’s reaction to the information that Lucas gave her about Frank Plano. She seemed upset that Frank wanted to talk to her and very interested in what Lucas said about her introduction to Jason McDonnell, the […]

Top Ten Things Not To Do Thinking Spring is Right Around the Corner

  The inspiration for this list came from reading all the posts where folks have anticipated the first day of spring (tomorrow) only to be faced with tons of Ice, snow, and sleet. Knowing spring is here only makes the reversal in weather more demoralizing. 10 If you think spring is right around the corner, […]

Views of the Neighborhood – Spring Break II

Here is a shot of a foggy Saturday morning. A few cars and campers. This is looking North. Another Saturday morning shot looking South. The same shot looking North in the afternoon South. The cars are two deep as far as the eye can see. Down at the sand level, we have the Game Warden […]

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt “Green”

  It is Stream of Consciousness Saturday time again and this week’s prompt is “green.” Linda Hill says we can use the word any way we want. It is tough not to think of green in the context of St. Patrick’s Day, but I’m certainly going to try. Not that I have anything against St. […]
