  • A Few More Down

    I have through chapter fourteen written on this next book.  I am sure some of these chapters will be expanded when I go back through.  So far, I have about thirty chapters planned, but that will likely change.  It always does.  I can have the best laid-out plans, but once the story starts taking shape…

  • Ash Wednesday

    This might upset a bunch of people, but I hate Ash Wednesday.  I do not necessarily hate the date or what it means regardless of the fact that many Christians do not observe that date.  What I hate is the prideful boasts that people have when they have that ash cross on their foreheads.  It’s a “Look at…

  • Writing Rampage

    I have been on a writing rampage lately.  Over the last couple of days, I have written five chapters in The Amanai Resolution.  I am about to the halfway point in the book.  This is where things get exciting for me.  The meat of the story is about to be written.  After another ten chapters,…

  • Colder Than Hell

    I am so done with winter, but there is not much I can do about it.  It snowed yesterday, and it was -4 (no, not Celsius) this morning.  The tractor did not want to start.  After a minute or so on the battery charger, it barely started.  The hydraulic fluid was like gel for about…

  • Does it Ever Slow Down?

    Does life ever slow down or is everything going to continue to happen at lightning speed?  I realize that I am at fault for most of this.  Finishing the basement while going to school while having a farm while raising kids is just crazy!  I know the basement will be finished before anything else is,…

  • Am I Floating or Sinking?

    Do you ever get the feeling you are barely treading water?  Yeah.  I feel that way right now.  While I have a contractor finishing the basement, it still requires work and thought from me.  This weekend, I had to run the HDMI cable between where the TVs were going to be,  run the CAT6 and…

  • Finally…

    My head stop hurting after another day.  Monday was a bit of a blur, and I was groggy most of it.  It makes it really difficult to write a research paper when I can barely think well enough to keep a 7,000 pound truck on the road.  I am hoping I didn’t make myself too…

  • Uh…. Ouch!

    This past weekend has been a very busy one.  The basement is getting finished, and in the process, I have realized how our builder screwed things up.  I knew going with a big builder like Khov was going to get a nice, new house built.  I just didn’t realize all of the mistakes that went…
