Viva Las Vegas

Took a few days away from the grind – went to Vegas for a show featuring house pets. Wife invested $1.00 in the slots, won $50.00. I lost a total of $6.00. Bet the casino brass are glad we left town. Back to the keyboard.

Summer time

Summer time and the living is …

Well, not exactly easy. Now settled into new office in Laguna Woods, almost. A last minute quick trip back and forth to Tucson after the cross country jaunt is now behind me. Gas prices are a lot cheaper in Arizona then here in California – taxes must make up the big difference. Research and writing going slow but onward we go.

Back home, back to writing

Safely back in Laguna. Now the task of reorganizing the new office and back to writing Down But Never Out.

Back to Laguna

I’m leaving Ocean City, New Jersey today and the cool waters of the Atlantic for the even colder waters of the Pacific. The drive will take five days if I hustle. Finished my interviews here and wrote important chapter for Down But Never Out titled: The Dreaded Diagnosis.

Off to Philly (New Jersey)

Leaving Tucson for Philly today via I-40 most of the way. Will watch for rough weather now along my path through Oklahoma and Arkansas.

Moved and moving

Moved my Laguna Woods office today. Huff, huff, and puff. Had professional movers and lots of help, but still required my lifting and reorganizing . Plan driving to Tucson and Philadelphia late next week. Finishing interviews with the Giardellos and Carman's former teachers and employers.

Norfolk Island Pines

I marvel every day at the symmetrical Norfolk Island Pines that thrive on the many lawns here in Laguna Woods. I like order in the Universe -- don't you?
