Top Ten Things Not To Do Out of Town if You Are An Author
The inspiration for this list was a trip to Phoenix Arizona this weekend to attend the birthday party of my best friend. 10 If you are an author out-of-town, do not try to keep up with your e-mails. If you do, at best in your haste you’ll trash many e-mails that you want to read. […]
Views of the Neighborhood – Guest Post by Mae Clair
I know it is a little odd to see a guest post on the day I usually run a Views of the Neighborhood. I’ve done this for two reasons. 1. My friend Mae Clair is launching a new book and I want to help spread the word. 2. I am in Phoenix this weekend with […]
Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – “Your Favorite Word.”
It is Saturday Stream of Consciousness time again. This weeks prompt is an unusual one. Linda Hill says we should choose our favorite word and then write a post about it. I think the challenge here is selecting a word that is a favorite and appropriate to share on a family blog. That eliminates my […]
Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF
Another week has passed. I have often wondered if we all consciously attempt to put in the best week possible. By that I mean do we continually strive to fill the week with the kind of accomplishments that we will be proud to say we finished. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I’m […]
Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Bailey
“I’ll bet I can make you blink, Lucy.” “You know short stuff I have been in staring contests with cats and walked away a winner.” “Yeah but you’ve never been under the control of Super Frenchie.” “Tell you what. Bailey has been dying to play a game. Go do a staring contest with her. She’s […]

There is only one thing not to do on Memorial Day, but it can be repeated ten times. Do not forget to thank those who gave their lives so you can live yours. Thank you, Grandfather.
Views of the Neighborhood – Art Fair
Yesterday was the kind of day that we locals like to get away from the beach. Here is a shot straight out from the cart over at eight AM. Pretty nice. Here is a photo looking south from the cart over at eight AM. A little congested but nice. Same straight out view as before […]
Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – “Grill”
It is Stream of Consciousness Saturday and this weeks prompt is “grill.” Linda Hill says to have fun with it. So in that vein, I will proceed. If you would like to have fun with “grill” or are just curious as to why a bunch of seemingly normal looking people do this each week, stop by […]
Friday JohnKu – AKA TGIF
This day, once it is, complete will kick off a three-day weekend. Everyone deserves the promise of time off to honor those who gave so much. As I sit and think about what Memorial Day means to me, I get a profound feeling of gratitude for those who gave their lives that I might […]
