Mom passed away last week and the funeral is this week. So I'm away.

I'm gone for a while

My mother is very ill, and I don't know how much longer she'll be with us. So I'm focusing on her now. I'll be back later.

It's coming ....

My next book. Almost here.

Oh, heck. It's at Amazon, so here it is:

This is the story of Jack, a guy who goes into a used-book store. And it's the story of Odetta, the woman who runs the store.

They team up to solve a mystery and along the way, they discover that neither of them is too old for love. In fact, they might be just about exactly right for each other. But there's the pesky problem of the mystery, with clues sprinkled throughout some of the 'sexy books' that Odetta loves to read.

Hmm. Might be just what they need to have some fun on that cross-country journey they take.

Okay. Not so bad

It was only $1700.

Only?

It's a sad day when I celebrate only spending $1700 but there you are.

Mouse traps are out and the Mouse Wars have begun.

Normal world? Hunh?

Took my car in for its 30k checkup. I figured, $300-$400.

Nope. 10 times that. Yep.

Do I have your attention? Why?

Mice.

Mice got into the motor and chewed up the wiring. Parts must be ordered and it will take at least 1 day of a mechanic working on it to get it going again.

I didn't have any problem before, but according to the service guy, it was a fire waiting to happen.

You know, it makes me wonder: what else is out there lurking, waiting to catch me by surprise?
