Out of My Mind
 

Torrey Pines State Park

We had a beautiful walk this morning along the coast just north of La Jolla.

People who bought HDLTS also bought...

Amazon's "also bought" feature is a great way to find new books based on people who bought the same books you're interested in. Sometimes you get some interesting results though. Take a look at the first five books listed under How Deep Lies the Shadow the morning after my four day promotion ended. For those of you who aren't familiar with HDLTS, it's a supernatural thriller that reached no. 2 under contemporary fantasy.

I can understand the first one, since I was using social media to promote my book. The four following seem completely random. Can you make any connections?

How Deep Lies the Shadow reached #2

Right next to Robert A. Heinlein you'll see How Deep Lies the Shadow in the number 2 position under top 100 Free Sci-Fi novels! Still free through the end of February.

Digging out

I gave it my best shot, but I think I'll need to wait for the rest to melt.

Snowmaggedaon 2012 - Olympia, WA

Last night we shoveled the snow of the back deck. When I woke up this morning I thought I had dreamed it. I glanced out the window and the snow was even deeper than it was the day before. Here are some more snapshots from about 7 a.m. 

  1. Back deck. I haven't measured it yet, but I'm guessing 14 inches.
  2. Pergola over the driveway. We haven't touched this snow, and it's about 2 feet deep.
  3. Front porch. The two feet of snow on the left is covering the roof of Marshmallow Mom's studio.
  4. I think that's my car.

Snowpocolypse 2012 - Olympia, WA

We woke to 12 inches of snow this morning. The forecast is for more today and even more on Wednesday. We've had a few reprieves from snow fall and the temps are just above freezing, so you know what that means. Melt and freeze overnight for a nice icy patch in the morning. So I'm sticking it out at home glad we have power and cable to connect to the outside world.

  1. Snow level on our deck railing
  2. Deck chairs with nice pillowy snow cushions
  3. Back deck
  4. Overlooking our neighbors yard
  5. DeHart home from the end of the driveway
    (100 feet of driveway x 10 feet wide x 1 foot deep = 1,000 cubic feet of snow to shovel. I think not)
  6. Sign post out front with an Elvis doo

First Snow 2012

Finally, it feels like winter in Olympia. We got our first snow today and went sledding on the golf course. Take a look the wondrous world of white at our home on Delphi.

A poem for Elanor

My third poem features my daughter Elanor's passion for origami.
A poem for Elanor

Elanor is my youngest daughter. She’s a hands-on kinda kid who loves to do crafts, bake, and most importantly, do Origami. She has a huge collection of papers in all colors and sizes and a library of how-to books on Origami. What she can’t find in her books, she’ll hunt down online, watching Youtube videos to figure out a new trick or two with folding paper. I’m not sure where her passion for folding paper comes from, but I think the documentary Between the Folds (check it out on Netflix. It’s f...
