Ahhh, The Sound of Laughter in the Spooky Woods - Tuesday Tales and Sasquatch

Image
Ahoy Fellow Fathomers! Happy Tuesday! It's time for another edition of Tuesday Tales. This week we have a delicious word prompt- " laughter ".  Today we visit our lovebirds from Finding Love and Bigfoot , the second in the Critter Getter series.      “Kalista shivered in the cool autumn air with Caleb’s sentence. She rubbed her arms and returned a question.   “What about us talking makes us so crazy?” Caleb thought for a moment before answering quizzically. “It’s part of the fun, right?   The anxiety, anticipation…you know, like Thumper in Bambi. He called it twitterpated.” “Twitterpated? Yes, I remember that scene now. I can identify with that.   But, you have your own business. You chase Bigfoots and mean fish underwater. Us talking should not be this complicated.” They both burst into laughter. “It definitely should not be this complicated.” Caleb decided, before taking Kalista’s hand in his own. “Thank you ...

Contest Give-Away Weekend! Try Your Luck!

Image
(I do not own a red and white striped cap, or else maybe I'd post a picture rockin' one.) Where’s Waldo? No, not really, Fellow Fathomers, but, Where in the World is Davee Jones? That’s the big question! This weekend The Locker hosts another great giveaway contest sponsored by my publisher, Secret Cravings Publishing. The lucky winner from my blog will receive a PDF copy of Ruby’s Dance. How many of you really think about where you’re from? So many times I host visitors and they want to see and do some of the many activities available within my location. (Although I proclaim myself a tried and true Okie, I no longer live in my home state of Oklahoma.) However, I’m almost embarrassed to admit I, myself, have not explored as much of my adopted home turf as some visitors or tourists! I encourage, or maybe even challenge, you to choose something within a days’ drive of your hometown and experience something brand new! Now, on to try to guess- Where is Davee? ...

You Can Do a Triathlon Too!

Ahoy Fellow Fathomers!   Today in The Locker I talk with you about the sport of triathlon. I prepared this blog in advance because today, July 28, as you are reading this, I will be somewhere in the experience of my second Olympic distance triathlon. Greetings from the Idaho Spudman 2012 http://burleylions.org/spudman.html (me from Spudman 2011) Last year, this very triathlon challenged my limits of endurance. I did okay until about the last mile, and I hit a massive wall. I had to stop to tie my shoes and almost could not start running again. Seriously.   Alas, I did push myself to begin again and made it through the remaining run course between rows in potato fields and over railroad tracks. I finished in 3:16, yes, 3 hours and 16 minutes, well behind the first place competitors, but, certainly not last. Most importantly, dammit, I FINISHED this darn race. To prepare for this event, I’ve trained consistently for the past three years. I started by competing in...
