I’m still trying to keep my head above water. I sent my book out to five readers and rewrote the manuscript using their notes. I’ve done several on line interviews. I’m trying to express how I don’t care about others expectations… but of course that’s not completely true. What I mean I suppose… Is I just have to keep myself alive. That is the first priority, and to do that everything must have that swing. That’s the most important thing: that swing, bounce…. happiness. That’s what keeps me and the writing going. Even if it seems grim. The books keep looking for that swing. Rain in the morning more rain in the afternoon. Warm as a first kiss. jhs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c479b6e4b0cf91c44ae5a5/1596490038803-IMQWGFRIBI7BYF4KRZO2/IMG_0562.jpg John Straley's Blog - Off And Running: A Short Review Dot is more than eighty pounds, at eight months old.

Norm Campbell built the Rain Phone’s kiosk and it has gotten some pretty good use. I called my Mother who died in 2000. At first I was self conscious and thought it was a bad Idea but then I just imagined my mother and whaat she would want to talk about, she asked me how Jan and Finn were and we were off and running. She wouldn't tell me anything about where she was or what it was like for her where she was, “She just said, “Oh Sweetie, you don’t need to know those things now. There will be plenty of time for that. Besides it’s complicated and I doubt you would understand. Tell me about Donald Trump.” So I did. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c479b6e4b0cf91c44ae5a5/1596491858086-KWPSXXHSACYVEHVXRXLZ/IMG_4897.jpg John Straley's Blog - Off And Running: A Short Review Our good friend Susie Fero bought us all an inflatable ice cream cone for the hot weather. http://www.johnstraley.com/blog/2020/7/23/watch-this-space monthly 0.5 2020-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c479b6e4b0cf91c44ae5a5/1595551170629-ZDJKL5COBVXNROAV9AXF/IMG_4830.jpg John Straley's Blog - Watch This Space Dot helping me open my birthday mail.

I think he ate a pb and j sandwich every day of his life or would have given the choice. He grew up with an incredibly bland midwestern palate. He told me he grew up never eating salad dressing nor condiments at home. His mom sold potato salad at a gas station that was famous in the region but she had never tasted it because it had mustard in it! Too spicy. He told me he never ate Catsup until he went to graduate school in California, so too Pizza, or a taco! Later he virtually lived on venison burritos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c479b6e4b0cf91c44ae5a5/1588027237977-9JS7BZ1IPK39LEPH8T32/IMG_4604.jpg John Straley's Blog - The Ways Of Love http://www.johnstraley.com/blog/2020/4/24/love-like-a-mountain monthly 0.5 2020-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c479b6e4b0cf91c44ae5a5/1587770361818-D0M2NPGX297G6FH0753D/IMG_4585.jpg John Straley's Blog - Love, Like A Mountain The little island in front of our spot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c479b6e4b0cf91c44ae5a5/1587771709786-WD157W5ISKIZO9R29PQO/IMG_4600.jpg John Straley's Blog - Love, Like A Mountain The incomplete Dot, I didn’t capture her nose..
