My daughter, Elizabeth, turned forty-eight on Monday.  When we spoke on the phone, she told me that she was going to start telling people that she’s fifty. She told people she was forty-seven when she turned forty-six.  She was publicly forty-seven for two years, so it seemed liked she gained a year when she actually …

The entry below is the first thing I published online.  It’s an introduction to my blog.  I knew what I wanted to do, but I didn’t have a road map.  I still don’t.  I write a bit each day and post twice a week.  This is my seven hundred and sixty-third story. A Very Little …

It seems like once a year I write about Sutton and his song, The Ghost’s Perfume.  Here I go again.  I’m sharing the tale this time because his song has been nominated for a San Diego Music Award as “Best Country or Americana Song’”.  If you follow these steps you can vote for it. Here …

If you read my blog through a direct link to my site, you’ll notice some changes.  If you read it through Facebook, you may wish to try the direct approach.  I’ve added two links to the top of the page.  One takes you to your Amazon account (if you have one) and the second takes …

My book is available on Audible.  They set the price at $19.95.  I don’t get that, but I do get a piece. It’s also available on Amazon and Apple Books.    The Apple Book price is $17.99.   Amazon is the same as Audible. When I looked it up a few minutes ago, you can get …

My audiobook is finished.  You can’t purchase it yet, but it’s somewhere out in space.  I started working on it about three months ago, and I gave my approval to the product last Monday.  It’s making its way through Amazon’s process.  They’re in total control now.  They set the release date and price but once …
