Top Ten Things Not to Do if You Decide to Self-Publish Your Book
The inspiration for this list is my latest efforts to self-publish the next John J. Cannon story titled His Revenge. Since I had absolutely no experience in publishing the journey was a long winding road marked by plenty of mistakes. I’m sure the trial and error method of my learning is not over yet, […]
Sunday – Fifty-Two Views of the Gulf
The view is good. The wind is low velocity and the wave action normal. We had two days of rain and managed to get about an inch and one-half. The only one out there is a jogger. Last week’s photo.

Friday John Ku – AKA TGIF
Friday is here and with it another week of reading writing and arith— No hold that. The only arithmetic I did this week was when I had to buy new stainless steel screws at the lumber yard. That’s a story for another day. Well, that’s not fair to dangle that one out there is […]

This list was inspired by having to fill in on a few occasions when it was necessary for me to venture into places where I’ve never been. These examples are not necessarily places where you’ve never been they are just the places where you are not normally found buying things. Ten Things Not to […]

Sunday – Fifty-Two Views of the Gulf
I managed to get the spot in spite of the low-riding sun. Today’s shot shows there is a little wind and the temperature was in the low 70’s due to a front moving in overnight. We are supposed to have two days where the daytime highs are no more than the low 80s. Then it’s […]

Wednesday Story Day – AKA Hump Day
Wednesday Story Day time again. We left Ben and Alexis in the presence of Alexis’ mother, Mrs. Worthe. It is obvious Mrs. Worthe wants to be in control.
