Thursday – A Little Personal – Housebound
“Hey, Lucy. Do you want to come up here on the couch you look a little down.” “To tell you the truth, I wish there was something to play with.” “I know it is boring when you can’t go outside.” “Yeah, why can’t we go out? “For heaven’s sake, Lucy. Can you take a look […]
Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day
It is Wednesday Story Day again. Last week we left Sheriff Seth Gibson storming out of Jason McDonnell’s office because he was thwarted from interviewing Lucas without the permission of Lucas’ doctor. My assumption is Jason will talk to the doctor and then get in touch with Seth. We really have to get back […]

The inspiration for this post was thinking about super cities and the possibility of taking tours of them. There are not necessarily guided tours but just touring in general. 10 If you are touring Chicago, do not wear your Yankee baseball cap. If you do, at best people will believe you have just been […]

Views of the Neighborhood – Crochet Art

[…]
Friday John Ku – AKA – TGIF
This was a typical week regarding no holidays, yet Friday seemed to come pretty quick. I guess it must be my age. I am happy to report that four Beta-readers of The Contract by Gwen Plano and me have already sent their input. (Not due until mid-February) These folks are very dedicated to the […]
Thursday – A Little Personal – The Creature
“Hey, Boss.” “Hi, Lucy. How are you? “Just fine. You know I have something I need to discuss with you.” “Okay, shoot.” “Come closer.” “Is this close enough?” “Yes, Boss. What I need to tell you I don’t want mom to know.” “Sounds serious. What is it?” “Yesterday we were walking in the neighborhood and—” […]
Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day
It is Wednesday Story Day again. Last week we learned a little about why Lucas was painting houses. He also gave an opinion that Harriet and Alice were too incompetent to be responsible for the murder of his parents. The final piece of information is that Lucas thinks maybe Seth is involved. Speaking of […]
