LIFE’S A HOOT

It’s been an interesting month during which my granddaughter
turned six, and I turned a little grayer when my computer crashed. I still say when you order a computer already
loaded with operating systems they program it to crash just before your
warranty runs out so they can convince you to sign up for another extended
warranty. If I could prove it I’d sue
them for all their worth. Had to wipe my
computer (colossal waste of time!!!) and reinstall everything. Grrrr.
Funny, the only problems I ever have had with this laptop is just before
the warranty runs out. Fortunately I
have two external hard drives for backups, but I still lost two columns and a
short story (that I’ve noticed so far).
Took me days to rewrite what I’d written last week. But I think I’m all caught up now, whew! If I could go back and relive the week before
the crash my motto would have been Back-up!
Back-up! Back-up!
Rosie got a lot of notebooks and a touch typing course for
kids for her birthday. She keeps a
journal, reads voraciously, and is one smart cookie. Love being here with the grands!
In the midst of all the celebrating and computer frustration,
I managed to get Owl's Eye View all ready to give you some chills.
Nathan Williams talks about ‘old farthood’ and letting the
next generation, in the form of Sol Hammond, get a feel for the reins in
“Swooping Through the Years.” Don’t
worry, Nathan’s not going anywhere! We
hope…
Meredith Alden continues on with her story revealing Max
Vale’s struggles now that she’s back in Owl’s Nest…and his life. “From the Perch” is, as always, a must read
this issue.
Lucy Bernelli’s transformation continues, and her spirit is
pulled nearly apart in this issue’s “On the WindSpirit.”
Larry Nunn pops into Owl’s Nest
High School for a visit to the band
that brings all sorts of ooky surprises in this issue’s “Screech On!”
In “Macabre Mirth” this month, Melanie Mirth tells of Signe
Hannigan meeting her mentor.
How do you mend a broken heart? One man’s answer lies in my story, “Be Still
My Broken Heart.”
You really can’t judge a book by its cover, or so my story
“Sir Muddy” goes.
The ooky Pharmacy Phunnies continue in the fourth
installment of M*E*D*S, right along with the chilling evil….muahaha!
Plenty of ooky to go around for the next thirty days. Chills!
