Hello, friends! This past week I was at Dad’s old place twice. I moved some stuff out on Friday. Pamela and I have some fragile things to pack and move on Monday, and then I’m hoping that Tuesday will bring the end to the saga of Dad’s Big Move. Just in time for work-related stuff.…

Hello, friends! This past week I dealt with more of the Big Move, which is now the Big Cleaning Project. Going through the things that were left in the apartment, finding the important things that will go to the new place and making sure the rest is ready to be removed. We found a place…

Hello, friends! It happened. The Big Move. My father is now in his new apartment with only a few complaints (mainly about the things I threw away or didn’t bring). He seems happy with it and I hope he hasn’t gotten sick of us yet. I’ll be going to the old place to go through…

Hello, friends! Another busy week. The first few days were hot and laying low was the order of business but the rest of the week was spent helping Dad pack and go through things in the mornings and then dealing with whatever–including crashing–in the afternoons. Writing happened late afternoon or at night when there wasn’t…

Hello, friends! It’s been a wild week. School ended on Monday and I’ve been pretty busy since. Nothing compared to how busy I’ll be the coming weeks. I’ve written about it in today’s essay. Welcome to the 127th installment of Gauthic Times, the newsletter about my writing, my life, and some thoughts about the coming…

Hello, friends, and happy Father’s Day for those who celebrate! This past week was a bitch. I’m kind of reeling from it still. As a result, I found myself not really ripping to write about any particular thing for today’s essay so I consider it some musings as I complete the 2024-2025 school year on…

Hello, friends. What a week this has been! One of the last real weeks of the 2024-2025 school year. I’m bogged down in grading but I’m getting through. This coming week is the last five-day week. Three of the five days are for finals so the students will only be there half the day. Then…

Hello, friends. This was supposed to come out earlier today but then it was supposed be written yesterday and neither happened. I usually try to handle the newsletter writing on Saturdays so they can be sent out on Sunday. For some reason, yesterday got away from me. It was busy in my household though I…

Hello, friends. This is going to be a long newsletter because my essay, the final part of “Chased From the Park,” is nearly 3,000 words long. I could’ve broken up into two parts and have had that story be four parts in this newsletter, but I decided to go for it. I hope you don’t…
Hello, there! I’m working on the park story that I’ve been telling in Gauthic Times and something has happened. When I began, I thought it’d be two parts. As I wrote the second part, I realized I’d need another part and left it with “To be concluded….” Well, I’m about 2,000 words into the third…
