That’s Multiple Me! WebCam Captures Wandering Walker

Posted onSeptember 2, 20135 Comments

If you read my blog earlier this morning (click here to read it) you know that at 11 a.m. I had an appointment with destiny at our town dock. My sister in CA discovered there is a webcam capturing images of the locals at the waterfront… keeping track of all the comings and goings. We Read More …

At 11 a.m. I’m Waving At California

Posted onSeptember 2, 20132 Comments

It’s September 2. Labor Day! Can’t wear those white pants anymore! (My mother’s rule.) Yikes! This summer is slipping away fast.

Pajamas In The Front Yard

Posted onAugust 13, 2013Leave a comment

I was up at 3 a.m. again, standing in the front yard in my PJ’s searching the skies for a glimpse of a passing star shower. (The perseid meteor shower is playing in the heavens this week.) But alas… clouds covered most of the sky and there were very few blinky lights above. Standing in the Read More …

Signs In The Sky

Posted onAugust 12, 20131 Comment

I was up at 3 a.m. this morning, dressed in my sweatshirt and old slacks, went to the beach to gaze at the shooting stars. At that hour all is silent in my neighborhood. Not a peep from the wild turkeys or the birds in the trees. No cars on the roads. No walkers on Read More …

Well, now there’s a play on words… My weakness is overcome, my week is done… The last two days of class were better. Met Alan Rinzler, a consulting book editor who told us all about “Emotional Glue” or how a story gets put together and conveys a feeling to the reader… lots of good hints, Read More …

Still at the Cape Cod Writer’s Conference… My new class – my “substitute” class was much more satisfying… went to learn how to pitch an article to a magazine.… got to the class 5 minutes late… but they were most welcoming, and I found I came at just the right time… they were talking about Read More …

No Love Here For Sure

Posted onAugust 7, 2013April 11, 2021Leave a comment

Still at the Writer’s Conference. Big disappointment. The teacher who gave the class focused on how to write that hot love scene did not know how to teach. She never really engaged with the students… Which was a shame… She meandered through some random thoughts… She was ill prepared… I went to two classes… half Read More …

On The Water By Accident

I was supposed to be playing golf. Tee time at 7:04 am… but I misread the calendar note I had left for myself, rolled out of the sack at 6:45 am and realized I had missed my chance to make another fool of myself on the golf course. Sigh. Called the pro shop, cancelled my Read More …
