The act of writing the book, formatting it, adding in the photos, tweaking the details, editing, proofreading, working with the artwork, and everything … Continue reading
Digging Through Old Drawers
I told Tamara earlier today that I wanted to get some writing done so after the kids went to bed, I sat at the table and did a little writing. Mind you, it wasn’t the kind of writing she had in mind as it was a song we had talked about earlier that I was … Continue reading
It’s Always There, Never Forgotten
Some years I think about it and smile and it’s nothing more than just a passing memory. Other years I take stock of what I have and what I have gained, along with how much has changed since that day. It’s not something I talk about, even to my wife. She knows about what happened … Continue reading
