Sunday 14- 101 degrees.

I did my stretches, yoga and took Cassie for her walk.

Worked all day getting more of my poem book done.

Took Cassie for her evening and night walks.



Monday 15- 103 degrees and clear.

Sherry came by for a visit to say hi to Cassie and me.

I did my stretches, lifted weights, took Cassie for a walk, core trainer, and punched the heavybag for two minutes.

I took Cassie for her evening and night walks.

I pushed and pushed myself and finally have my book of poems done. I called Bonnie earlier and told her the name was to be “Azure Sea Dreams”. It is done and uploaded to Amazon Kindle eBook store.




Tuesday 16- 104 and then it dropped down to a cold 94 degrees real quick as a huge thunderstorm moved into our area around 3pm with lots of thunder and lightning but little rain for us here  in my neighborhood.

It took Amazon until this morning to publish “Azure Sea of Dreams” and I found that I could only give it away for free for five days. Amazon wasn’t clear if I can renew it for free right after I had already done so.

I did my stretches, lifted weights, yoga, took Cassie for a mile run, core trainer, and punched the heavybag for three minutes.

I had the pool all cleaned and setup for a swim, I usually do it around 3pm after the water has warmed up by the Sun, but that’s when the thunderstorm came over our area and I decided it wouldn’t be a good idea to go swimming today.




Wednesday 17-  96 degrees with clouds.

I did my stretches and swam for 20 minutes.

Cassie and me went over to Sherry’s and she played with Barney, Sneakers, and Alley while we humans went out to eat at Carrow’s Restaurant.

I got back home a little after 5pm and Cassie was just too tired from playing all day with Sherry’s dogs that she didn’t want to go for a walk.

I went on the Kindle site to see how many “Azure Sea of Dream” books were given away, they track stuff like that; there were 2 books that were sold and 19 books given away for free. I converted the whole book into a PDF and sent out to about 11 of requested it and don’t have an Amazon account. One teacher asked me if she could have my permission to use this poem book in her poetry interpretation class she is teaching college students and said she believe it could be very interesting discussion in her literature subject.

People are asking for a printed version of the book....





Thursday 18- 98 degrees.

I did my stretches, lifted weights, yoga, took Cassie for a mile run, core trainer, and punched the heavybag for three minutes.

I started working on a printed version of “Azure Sea of Dreams” and submitted it with the cover artwork I had to mess around with that Bonnie sent me. What a pain trying to get a print ready PDF; first I had to take her file which is in PNG format and put it into Microsoft Paint and save it to a JPEG file, then I had to find a way to have it converted into PDF and dang it if Adobe wouldn’t do it. So I went online and found a site that did the conversion. Then I submitted it at the printing place for them to review.




Friday 19- 102 degrees.

I did my stretches, yoga, took Cassie for a walk.

Well I got an email from the printing place that my cover artwork was rejected. So I went through the whole process again, but this time using a much larger file that Bonnie sent. I submitted the whole darn thing again and waited for their response.

I swam for 20 minutes later in the evening and took Cassie for her walk.




Saturday 20- 100 degrees with some clouds.

I did my stretches, lifted weights, yoga, took Cassie for a mile run, core trainer, and punched the heavybag for three minutes.

Me and Cassie went to the community center for movie night and watched “Inferno”(1953) “A tough, hard-driving business tycoon suffers a broken leg and is left to die in the desert by his scheming wife and her greedy lover. We all had a wonderful time making jokes at the actors!

I got a response email saying that the cover art was accepted and that my book was ready to be published. I went to their website and reviewed the book and had it published. I also had it published on the Amazon book store, but that should that 3-5 days they said, but it was there on Amazon Sunday ready to be bought. I ordered 50 of the books to give to friends and for promotions if I ever get the nerve to do that.

***** Stuff I Wrote this Week******


Being rational is the complete opposite being cruel! Ignore those that would hold us back in our quest for the truth. We don't need divinity’s precepts in our life telling us what to do and what to believe; you have a choice; always choose good.

Political powers separate everybody into countries; boundaries that control and contain us, but we are actually citizens of this world and this planet belongs to all of us. What I really mean to say here is to ignore the ignorant and advance beyond ignorance into a brighter realm that hasn't been explored by you or others. I believe discovery and science has no political boundaries; we are all human and these advances in our freedom of thought, this new paradigm of a boundless communication between the peoples of the world will benefit all humanity. DREAM!
