Wondered Into Cave Creek Today
Sure Felt Like It… Kris and I and Lisa went out to a 5k run/walk this morning out at a historic park up on the northern edge of Las Vegas. Big old trees, a bunch of ponds, and just about every wild bird you could imagine, all in this incredible green oasis in the middle of this really harsh desert. So Kris went off running with the crowd, and Lisa and I hung to the back because we were going to walk. And it was a beautiful walk, but amazingly windy. And the course was full of twists and turns through the trees and around the ponds and lakes, but…

Challenge Updates
Publishing 70 Books Challenge On Target… Just under six months into the publish 70 books challenge in my 70th year and doing great so far. I have 27 books actually published and 10 more turned in for publication. And I hope by Monday to turn in three more. A new novel, a new issue of Smith’s Monthly, and a new issue of Pulphouse Fiction Magazine. So before the halfway point I will have 40 books published or turned in and in line for publication. And if I just keep up with Smith’s Monthly through the middle of November, I will have 12 more turned in and published (six issues and…

Write Stuff Story Bundle
Holy Smokes is This A Great Bundle!!! 9 writing books and a $150 Pop-up, all for $15.00. Kris did a stunning job rounding up these books. Storybundle.com/writing Every time I look at this bundle, I think “Wow, I want this one.” (Luckily, I get a copy. (grin)) So here is Kris’s blog about the bundle once more. Remember, these bundles are limited time offers. After that you could still get them all but instead of $15 it would cost around $200 total. Just saying.

Behind on E-Mail
I Will Get Caught Up By Tomorrow Evening… So if you haven’t heard from me in a day or two, hold on. I have managed to hit five days on my five miles a day minimum in exercise. Win. First days of any streak are always the hardest, especially exercise. Eating control still a problem (see picture below), but gaining on that as well slowly. So now instead of spending the next few hours cleaning up my email, I am going to go finish a new novel. And pictures below are yesterday on our anniversary. Yes, Kris can eat vegan pizza. This was at Slice of Vegas out at the…

THE 2021 WRITE STUFF STORYBUNDLE…
It Just Went Live…. The following is Kris’s blog that is on Storybundle.com. I read earlier about each book and got done and went “Wow, I want this!” So check out each book in the bundle and for $15 plus a little donation to a great charity, you will want it as well. Here is the blog that Kris wrote for this, copied her in whole cloth.

Writers put their books in bookstores and pay…

Thank You For the Kind Wishes…
Kris and I had a fun and perfect-for-us 35-year anniversary today. We both worked on different things until around 2:30 pm, then we headed out to a favorite restaurant near the University we had not been in for 14 months. It had made it through and we split an order of fries and a really yummy vanilla shake (made from Almond milk and almond ice cream). It is heaven being vaccinated and not worrying about sitting in a restaurant after 14 months of staying at home. Wow!! Then we headed to a huge shopping mall on the Strip because, honestly we had never been in it in 3-plus years here…

Exercise Streak Started
May 1st Start… This isn’t actually the start of my moving toward exercise and losing weight. In fact, I have been working on it since February to change eating habits, increase distance, and start the drop in weight. Today finally I feel I can start the daily distance streak. And yes, I know I said back on November 15th when I completed that marathon that I would not do another. Well, with luck, I lied. Maybe another one before my 71st birthday, and a few after as well. This fall I have (and am) signing up for a bunch of 10k weekend charity runs, already signed up for two half…
