Brain Dump

Someone I know bragged and laughed that a jerk who refused to wear a mask came down with covid, saying he deserved it. What was I supposed to say? The same week, someone I knew accepted she was a high risk, so she had worn the mask, isolated alone for eight months, had deliveries by reputable establishments, did everything she was told to do and was sick with covid. What had she done to deserve it? I know other people who did everything they were told and came down sick. I know people who defied every mandate and are healthy. I know people who should have come down sick, because they have multiple health issues, and haven't. I know healthy people, with no risks, who have come down sick.

What Navy SEALs are required to do to make it into BUD/S:

Right up front: Never in a million years could I do what is required. However, I needed to start somewhere. Considering how fit the SEALs are, I figured it was a good place to start. My pushups are against the wall.

Using 1, 2, and/or 4-lb weights:

PT ~ Physical therapy

UBP ~ Upper body exercises, pushups, and chair sits against the wall

Chocolate Cake Day

Celebrate with a story!

Chocolate Cake for Two

Ready for the second novella in the series?

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and maybe a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

Freed, after being wrongly imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit, Henry Weaver needs a fresh start. The "Help Wanted" sign in the cupcake shop window couldn't possibly be the answer to his prayer.

Holiday Sweets, a specialty cupcake shop, is Annie Sweet's heritage. Everything would be perfect if only she could find competent help. An ultimatum demands Annie make a painful decision.

Choosing God is rarely the easy way, and sometimes the way to Happily Ever After appears impossible...

If you prefer paperback, Holiday, USA Anthology 2014

All four novellas published in 2014 are available in their entirety in paperback, including the covers on the back, for those who enjoy collecting a series.

Brain Dump

Saw an article, last fall, and gobsmacked by the stupidity. Who spent money on researching animals' emotions and the lack of ethics in keeping pets? That money could have gone to cancer research. Here's a little research for free: If we don't keep animals as pets or for food, they won't live happy, free lives; they won't live at all. Can we treat them better? Of course. We could treat people better, too.
