I finally finished it. That book cover that has graced my web site home page can finally move along. I finished the last 30 pages of History of the Goths this afternoon. Only 7 months; talk about efficient reading. I do confess to reading a couple other books during that… Continue reading
Not anything in particular to blog about tonight. Audrey is away on the band field trip to San Diego. Reanna has her piano performance and music theory evaluation tomorrow. I’m still driving 55. I’ve been listening a lot to a song off Pink Floyd’s Animals album. It really speaks to… Continue reading

In order to get to Payson from Phoenix, you had to take and alternate route that added a good… Continue reading
Momentum is so hard to keep. After a week of making good progress with writing every day, along comes an evening like this one. I get the computer turned on and I have to hand it over to my daughter for an online math test. After that, it’s help with… Continue reading
Now that I have a complete draft of the collaboration story in Ruth Nestvold’s hands, I’m turning back to the novel that should be done already. I’ve really struggled with this thing.
