I’ve tossed the Blog Tour ball to Nina Laden. Her response to the questions is posted. Click HERE for the link to her blog page. Elizabeth Winthrop and Ann Angel wanted to join, too. I don’t see their entries up yet. I’ll post links when they’re up. This is fun. Let ‘s keep the tour [...]

The idea of taking part in a blog tour is proving popular. Pam tells me I can tag more than one person. Nina Laden will post her responses to the questions in a few days. Elizabeth Winthrop wants to take part. I may have a few more names to add as well. I will post [...]

Yow! I just checked my website and realized that I haven’t posted anything since June. What’s going on, Bro? Well, it wasn’t much of a summer. In fact, it’s just about the worst I can remember. My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in June. She underwent surgery twice. The results were even better than [...]

Good heavens! I just realized it’s been ages since I’ve posted anything on my blog. No excuses. Blame it on the last days of summer. It got started late here in Oregon. We didn’t have good weather until August. When the weather is good, you want to be outside in the sunshine because you know [...]

In my last entry I blogged about becoming familiar with the Dragon Dictate program. I’ve been using it for the past week, mostly for writing e-mails and for answering letters from children. I’ve discovered that the program gets easier the more I use it. Now I think I’m ready for a bigger challenge. I sent [...]
