Short Run Down
Long One to Go… Great fun. Seemed like a billion people but guessing around twenty thousand. I ran some, walked a lot, mostly because so many people and I have a long run tomorrow, a half marathon. So mostly out testing my feet. No blood when I took off my shoes, so a win there. With all the walking to the race, around in the race to get started, then after the race down to a restaurant in the Circa, then back home, I did about seven miles. Tomorrow, with the walking to get to the race, the 13 mile race, and the walking to get back to the car,…

Always Fun
When site hosts do updates… And they always do that sort of thing on Friday night starting at midnight. Makes sense for them and most customers, but has scared hell out of me more times over this long streak than I can count. And next week we will be moving this site, updating some stuff, and just enjoying life (grin). So if my site is down at times over the next four or five days, no worries, coming back quickly. Thanks Allyson, Josh, and Gwyneth for doing what they could this Saturday morning. I just figured this place would be gone for the weekend and around 4 am I went…

Story 55 And Running
Still Going a Story a Day… And this weekend, Kris and I have a fun run. Actually, I have two. On Saturday, along with five or ten thousand others from Las Vegas, we will do the 5k Rock and Roll race. Really easy for us. Kris and I will walk four blocks from our home and then run around downtown, starting up Las Vegas Blvd and ending on Fremont Street before walking home for dinner. That should be great fun. Then the next evening I will manage to find my way to the Strip. That is no easy feat since the entire strip from the airport to downtown is closed…

Mondays Are Always Fun…
And Really Hard… Mondays I need to spend a lot of time at the computer. This morning I started off finishing up some work left on laying out Smith’s Monthly issue. Detail computer work. Then this afternoon I did email and some of the homework assignments. More computer time. Gave my eyes a rest by going to the store and taking a nap, but after dinner back doing assignments. Got everything finished on that front by 12:30 am with one break to watch some television. Then off to write a daily short story. Finished the 3,000 word story at 3 am, then came over here to my internet computer to…

Fifty
Title of the 50th Story In My Daily Short Story Challenge… That’s right, just for kicks and giggles, I realized as I started into the story and put the date on the file that it was story #50 of the challenge. So I figured, “Why Not?” And I titled the story “Fifty” and started writing. Turned out to be a 2,300 word Thunder Mountain story. Fun one. The challenge of a story per day for a year is going along fine so far. I am behind only on getting the stories on Patreon. Put another up last night, going for sleep tonight so no more tonight. As it was on…
