I met with my publisher today and signed my contract. I’m now once more a published author. As before, the topic is educational in nature. The last time I was hired by a representative of the German Government to write a guide for...

I love it when the earth surprises us with something wonderful. Often these things are free to experience, or just cost a little time. The moon is putting on a show this month. It will appear the largest it has ever appeared since...

Wish me luck today. I’m going to tackle another social media tool. I’m going to set up a YouTube channel to promote my new book, Free College: Awareness (This is the final title, after going through about ten others). I’ve learned...

It used to be, my writing muse (inspiration) showed up in the morning. I’d sit down at the computer, and the ideas and words would just flow. Lately, however, she’s been showing up soon after I go to bed. Of course, it’s not smart...

I have always believed in insurance. My mother was horribly ill every two or three years while I was growing up. If we hadn’t had medical insurance, I wouldn’t have eaten. But Long Term Care Insurance feels like a scam to me. I...

This was unexpected. A big storm swept through the NorthWest yesterday. Washington and Oregon received the most rain. I’m sure there were some problems, haven’t looked at the news reports yet this morning. NorCal had lots of rain...

This morning I went to the supermarket for a few items. I didn’t need much, since I shop once a month online and have most items delivered. What I always pick up when I’m at the nearby market is California brand jumbo black...

Since I retired, I started eating my main meal midday. We need the calories when we are up and doing things, so eating larger in the evening doesn’t really make sense. Of course, the way American culture is set up, people are at...

I have lots of MyLot friends who live in Florida and parts north along the East Coast. I wish you all good luck with Matthew. He’s powerful and doesn’t care about you, like I do. Please be safe, pack up and leave if asked to do...

In order to support my upcoming scholarship book, I created a website. I named it RoadToFreeCollege.com. There I post articles about how students can improve their odds of winning a full ride scholarship, heartwarming stories...

When I retired, I downsized my clothing wardrobe drastically. I knew I wouldn’t need business clothes ever again. But I did save a few things in order to hedge my bet just a little. Good thing I did. I’m going to be speaking to...

I’ve been making and posting free posters for teachers to use in their classrooms for four weeks now. This is an example of one I made today. I’m using photos I've taken in the last couple of years and layering famous quotes on...

This afternoon I’m meeting with the publisher I met a week or so ago. He requested copies of the Foreword and Introduction of my scholarship book to show to big shots at a very large school district. I have them ready.
We’re...

The first week in my endeavor to build a Twitter following I was shocked to see someone special I know of, but have never met, followed me. I was sent an email telling me so. I didn’t believe it at first, so I checked it out. It...

Now that my book More Free Cash for College is written, and I’m building my “writer’s platform”, or sphere of influence, I’m busy writing for my blog. It’s called RoadtoFreeCollege.blogspot.com. (I’ve had fits over the last three...

The ideas are jumping into my head. I’m smart enough to realize that I have to take advantage of this whenever it happens. I write them down. I don’t need to record massive paragraphs, just a short phrase or list so I won’t forget...

All eleven of the performances last night on America’s Got Talent were top notch. They fell naturally into two separate categories, however. Five of them were pleasant, but pedestrian. I won’t mention them here because they...

My book is finished. The title is More Free Cash for College. It isn’t published yet, because instead of using CreateSpace, I have been told by people I respect that it should be published the traditional way. But in order for a...

Okay, team, here’s today’s challenge: How to use Instagram to increase an author’s following. It seems to me that Instagram is made up of photographs. Please correct me if I am wrong. If that is true, would posting pictures that...

I like to read books, but I worried about all that sitting. I’ve heard that sitting is detrimental to health, and so had several scientists at Yale. They wondered if what you were doing while sitting made a difference. After a...
