I was reading about Dr. Martin Luther King, and the night before he was shot and killed by a white supremacist, he gave a speech to the sanitation workers in Memphis on Apr. 3, 1968. In it, he said some words that still apply today. "The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around.... But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars." Happy Martin Luther King Day |
I've added a new entry to my book, "From My Mind to...."  : "NFL Playoffs--Round 1 Done" The NFL season will end on Feb. 8, 2026 with Super Bowl LX in Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, CA. That's home of the 49ers, who are currently still in the running. Who are you picking for the Super Bowl this year? |
| Every single team I wanted to win the first round lost. Come to think of it, though, that happens pretty much every year... but the Packers really should have had that one. At least we'll have the same team next year. |
Reply| I've added a new entry to my book, "From My Mind to...." : "Home Safe" And back on track for my daily achievements. When one missed a single day here, one misses out of so many things. Truth? |
| I've added a new entry to my book, "From My Mind to...." : "Vacation On ...." It's a good thing I love snow. |
Are you retired and looking for a unique activity? Perhaps you're like me--forced ... yes, I said, forced to retire in order to travel more and be under foot at home. I wonder if my wife considered how much under foot I would be while at home all day, every day. I need something to do--perhaps, a paycheck every two weeks to keep my mind from atrophying. Here's the answer:
Forty-eight folks can't be all wrong. Join us and collect a paycheck every two weeks for 2026. |
| I wasn't forced to retire. It was more a case of running for the door, throwing laptops and company phones over my shoulder while serenading the assembled throng with an enthusiastic ad-hoc medley that included such highlights as The Hallelujah Chorus, I Feel Free and Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen. Still, I think I'll pass on this one. Cards Against Authors should be quite sufficient to keep me occupied until the summer. And if I get my #### together, I might even chance my arm with the Musicology Anthology challenge in April. |
| For my friends who are hosting contests that require Word Counts, AND for those who are entering contests and must include a Word Count (WC), this is for you: Yesterday I noticed the WC located under the  editor menu at the top of your item didn't display the same number as the WC located at the bottom of your new text window. (see "Word Count Issue" ). The SM's reply stated that the "NEW editor is a better authority" for the WC. Take it for what it's worth.  |
There's still time to enter:
The Christmas rush if over. Ok, I suppose some of you still have gifts to return. But you probably already have some How-To/Advice item collecting dust in your Port. Take a moment to dust it off and send it my way. See ya! |
