Everyone knows at least a little bit about gravity. If you drop something, it falls, the direction it falls is the direction we call down. For more advanced people we know that objects fall at the same rate, no matter their size. A bowling ball, and a golf ball will fall at the same rate,… Continue reading Kitchen Gravity
Boring Routine, and Cookies
Checked messages this morning. Actually yesterday morning. Read a little in the bible, but the devotional was one that seemed generic, or at least didn’t make sense to me. Then the verses it linked to didn’T add much. Maybe I should have just read the whole chapter in context, but I didn’t. I hate it… Continue reading Boring Routine, and Cookies
Happy Thanksgiving
Twas the day before Thanksgiving, and all through the farm; Turkeys where hiding, and coming to harm. The farmer was busily sharpening his ax, His wife looking forward to a Friday that was black. Everyone will be feasting with tummies so full, Snoozing and napping as they watch football. And for the turkeys who survived,… Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving
Help Me Launch My First Book, Christmas Timeline
I started this last year, but shelved the book due to not having it finished until after the holiday season. After pulling my file out of my storage archives, blowing the dust off, and reading up on what Amazon requires, I rounded up cover art, thanks to Doug McCoy, formatted my text, and worked through… Continue reading Help Me Launch My First Book, Christmas Timeline
The Reality of a Visit from the Grandkids

KDP Rocket Accessibility Tutorial for the Mac-
I have recently been exploring tools to help in writing, and self-publishing. Most times, effort is placed on the writing process, but that’s only about a third of the work in putting your written masterpiece out there for the public to enjoy. It also takes some good editing, formatting, and cover art. Then there’s the… Continue reading KDP Rocket Accessibility Tutorial for the Mac-
The blind Elephant
The elephant in the room. That’s what it has become. It’s here, obvious, but has been with me so long I usually never notice it any more. Inconvenient, sure. I seem to have gotten used to it. I forget that some people might be interested in it, and what its all about. How did the… Continue reading The blind Elephant
Forgetting Where You Came From
Time marches forward, like troops in lock step. A vanguard of locked shields, and weapon at the ready. Forcing approval of policy, though many in the nation disagree with those sanctions. Awkward and unpolished egos need buffing, and ratings of approval take first place over substance. Potential lies dormant from the beginning. The solution is… Continue reading Forgetting Where You Came From
Adventures in the Life of a Blind Computer Geek #anticipation
