I live with my wife Terry in Hemet, CA, which is in the San Jacinto Valley, on the eastern edge of Southern California's Inland Empire. We both terribly miss Tasha, our beagle-border terrier mix whom we had for fifteen years and who lived to the ripe old age of sixteen.
I am actively engaged in freelance writing along with web development and management. Details are on my web site: http://mikecwebandwriting.com/.
This blog is about the personal side of my life. I love my Kindle iPad app, working in the kitchen, watching cooking shows, and writing this blog. I am an Episcopalian and am happy to be a member of Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd here in Hemet.

To this Southerner it is definitely sacred. Oh, I didn’t say it much but my aunts and others did. “I’ll see you again soon if the Lord be willin’ and the creek don’t rise.” Brings back lots of dear voices.
I hadn’t made that connection. As we discussed several years ago, I have been known to say “I’ll be there, the Good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise.” Stay warm and dry up there as we add to the much-needed snowpack.
