While there's still time

This coming weekend #3 Son graduates from High School. The next day we all pile into a couple of cars and head for Missouri. Bitsy and SWMBO will spend as much time as possible soaking up pool and sun, and my three sons and I (Just call me Fred) will spend as much time as money will allow chasing little white balls (don't EVEN go there) all over the Branson countryside.

I heard David Feherty say, on TV, that the Irish really invented golf. They gave it to the Scots as a joke.

Anyway, I am going to preset posts for the week that we are gone, so that should I not be able to post while there, I WILL have something new every day. Because I can.

Oh, and one more thing. I am reading some stuff I need as research for "One Knight's Story". I didn't live in the late 12th Century (my sons' opinions notwithstanding) so I need to catch up on a few things so that I am as accurate as I can be. I feel that fiction is stronger when it is based in fact and reality - when you've done reading one of my stories, you should feel that even though you know you've been told a story that didn't really happen, you still learned something you didn't know before. All of that said, there will be a little break in the story as I do my research. Besides, all they're doing right now is running for the shoreline as they have seen the pirates approaching - and that takes a long time in those slow moving boats of the late 12th century.
