We're still here!

Yes, Wilma has come and gone, but we are fine. Our fence took another hit (I think vines on a chain link fence are pretty, but it sure makes it easy for the winds to knock it around). It was VERY rainy and windy, but we didn't even lose power, though my cell phone seems a little dicey at the moment.

Pray for those who have yet to go through this thing. But rest assured, we are OK.

WIL-MA!!

Just when you thought it was safe to scrap your hurricane plan...

Looks like we're gonna get a visit from a hurricane after all this year. Wilma looks like a nasty one too. I'm going to go out today to fill up the van, get some supplies, and I'm checking the freezer to see what will be for dinner the next couple of days. (One vow I made last year is that I would NOT be caught with a bunch of food in the freezer to spoil after a hurricane).

We were supposed to have hurricane shutters up by now, but they kept putting us off. Too late now, let's hope we won't miss them this weekend.

Keep us and everyone in the path of this beast in your prayers.

It's been a while...

Yeah, still here, still alive, just keep forgetting about this blog.

Right now I'm working on another series of short stories; these are non-Trek in nature. I'm with a group of fellow writers who have challenged each other to write and send to magazines five short stories this month. I have one out, am working on #2, and have ideas for the other three. It's just a matter of sitting down and writing them.

It doesn't help that I have gotten readdicted to World of Warcraft. For those who don't know, WOW is an onlne multi-player game that can suck you right up if you are not careful. It's a way to spend time with my yougnest though.

But I really want to make writing my career and if I'm going to do that, I have to buckle down and do it.

I will be working on getting my act together. keeping this blog up, and other things.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
