Hi, I had to check out your page here. Once again, I thank you for commenting on mine. Your books sound really great! Mary

A Spoonful of Humor (Book) - 9/26/2007 3:47:08 PM
Nice excerpt! It is hunting season now in Florida and I live inside the Ocala Forest boundaries; I wish in a way the deer could shoot back! It would sort of make it more fair and even; not anti-hunting but some of these guys are jerks and don't follow the rules! I'll checkt this book out at Amazon next click over. Good luck!

Hank, CONGRATULATIONS! I love the title. Cynthia

Wow, This cover has punch. Good job in "presenting" your books this way. Sara

Hi Hank! Lovely book cover! I'm glad you are promoting your informative book with this visual -- keep up the great work :) Sara

How I Became a Meteorology Guru -- Sort Of (Short Story) - 9/16/2008 6:59:27 AM
Hank, An excellent read: forecasting, in its beginnings: you, a part of history! Well done. (((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

WW II Memoirs (Short Story) - 9/16/2008 6:58:01 AM
Hank, Thank you, Sir, for your service. I look forward to more, sounds like my kind of book! Agree with Jackie, "WWII Memoirs of a Meterologist" would be intriguing, because it would show how far we've come in predicting (or trying to, anyway), the weather. :) More, please! I want first copy!!! (((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

WW II Memoirs (Short Story) - 9/15/2008 8:28:40 AM
Interesting read, Hank...and a good beginning of your book. You should advertise your book as "WWII Memoirs of a Meteorologist" :o) Having read your works here on AD, I anticipate much wit incorporated in your book! Blessings, Love and Success - Micke

How I Became a Meteorology Guru -- Sort Of (Short Story) - 6/2/2008 2:38:53 PM
Pretty fascinating experience in that classic and formative era for meteorology but I think you didn't take advantage of your ops; you still could've had a career in Forecasting whereas today you would defintely need to be piled deep in dregrees. Who knows maybe you would have made it to the National Hurricane center! I would envy that! Best story so far...Michael

How I Became a Meteorology Guru -- Sort Of (Short Story) - 5/22/2008 1:35:50 PM
Very interesing story, Hank. You got into the field when there were exciting ground-breaking data to be learned. I remember hearing about Chanute AFB when I was young...my home-town being St. Louis MO. Appreciate your sharing this time in your life... Blessings ~~ Micke

OCS -- The @#&%$# Culture (Short Story) - 2/11/2008 8:48:47 AM
You overcame and were the best officer you could be, I betcha - bet you didn't treat underlings like you were treated. An excellent story, one with a moral - do unto others as you would have done unto you. (((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

OCS -- The @#&%$# Culture (Short Story) - 2/11/2008 8:41:43 AM
Sad when people take advantage of others; I think hazing should be outlawed! (((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

Shipped off to Tallahassee (Short Story) - 12/27/2007 9:41:05 AM
Delightful story, Henry; very well penned! BRAVO! (((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

Shipped off to Tallahassee (Short Story) - 12/27/2007 9:27:10 AM
Enjoyed reading this one, Henry. At least you didn't have to go by sea: my Daddy was shipped to Japan on a troop ship. In a typhoon. He said the waves were HUGE. The chaplain was heard on board asking, "Oh, Lord, why are these waves so big and we are so small?" They wanted to chuck him overboard. LOL Well done, Sir, and thanks again for your service. (((HUGS))) and love, Karla. (USAF '83-85) I would have loved to be stationed in Alaska, never left Texas. LOL

Don't Shot yourself in the Foot (Short Story) - 10/29/2007 3:13:39 PM
certainly filled with the humor and vernacular of the time... Truely amazing how you seem to remember all the details as you craft the story... unless of course you are illiterating (Lying?!) But I wouldn't accuse you of that!

Nerds Volunteer (Short Story) - 10/17/2007 12:34:10 PM
This one's funny: as you LUCKED OUT! Most volunteers end up with what they deserve! Usually in the service if you volunteer for anything it ends up your permanent job. My Dad was a meticulous pilot and "volunteered" to be a flight trainer: for the rest of the War he could never escape that assignment; and desperately went AWOL once to force the brass to send him into combat missions; he came back and apologized and they didn't charge him because he was running not away from combat but becuase he wanted into action! Lucky for me they didn't want to spare his skills, as he probably would have been shot down, being so meticulous! I'm planning to write a fiction book on his "service duties: called "Squadron Eleven" but I will have to dramatize much! keep 'em coming, MIKE

Homesick in Hell (Short Story) - 10/17/2007 12:27:08 PM
Pretty well written: of course, deoderant should be a no issue item for any soldier in training headed for combat. Big MO summers sound bad but just imagine if you had been stationed in Georgia or Florida, you would have had the humidity and bugs too! And at least you had the Sunday socials! best, Mike

Missouri Church Socials (Short Story) - 10/17/2007 12:21:23 PM
Well, on this one, I'd say that if you had to endure a two-hour sermon on Sunday from a preacher (perhaps, Methodist?) then you most likely deserved all those Sunday supper treats! I supposed the idea was, they were thinking you'd end up in combat soon anyway, so give 'em the best while they were still alive, no?

Homesick in Hell (Short Story) - 10/12/2007 9:07:16 PM
Hank, Seasons in Hell in Fort Wood, Missouri sound absolutely like a no on my travel agenda! Cynthia

Outguessing The Fog (Short Story) - 10/1/2007 7:56:58 PM
Henry, A most informative, entertaining write of what weathermen have to go through. Back then, they didn't have the technology they do now...and they still don't always know what's going to happen! Well done. Thank you for your service, BTW. :) (((HUGS))) and love, Karla. *StormSpinner* Poet, photographer.

Outguessing The Fog (Short Story) - 10/1/2007 4:37:24 PM
Very nice, entertaining write of your Florida weather work. Did you only serve n Tallahassee or elsewhere during the war years? Was radar available at that time at the air fields. I'll look for more of your weather stories by tracking you. You have a smooth writing style. Best, michael guy (Floridian weather watcher! Windy, warm and showery here today!)

First Things First (Article) - 8/31/2009 5:16:09 PM
How'd I miss this earlier?? Love your eating phylosophy, and I agree with you. Now, next time you make hot chocolate, use unwhipped whipping cream...so deliciously rich and good for the bones (I think :o) This reminds me to buy a big bottle of A&W Root Beer and two pints of rich vanilla ice cream; been too long since I've had a "float"! (too many kidney stones for too many years :o) Blessings and Love - Micke

Writing a Column (Article) - 8/12/2009 1:27:54 PM
Lucky you. I often run out of ideas for my weekly column. After awhile, I find myself to be pretty boring and have to rely on internet headlines to find something to write about. Although, reading other people's columns does give me inspiration. Thanks Hank!

First Things First (Article) - 8/12/2009 1:25:05 PM
There is absolutely no law that says you can't eat dessert first. So, I say, enjoy, Hank!

Squirrel Gymnastics (Article) - 5/18/2009 7:57:37 AM
Hi Hank, So squirrel tastes like rabbit. And rabbit tastes like chicken and so the story goes...who crossed the street first. Wonderful story. Cynthia

Funny, but you forgot to mentiion how they manage affairs thru the mail: such as SSA matters, Medicare, etc. Talk about snafu's and redundant forms. Or are you perfectly healthy?

The Wonderful World of Computers (Article) - 7/24/2006 9:47:23 PM
Hi Hank, Funny when I Google my name, you often appear in the posting. And sometimes you hide as a Bob. Ah, so that's what friends are for. Congrats on the "Good Ole Times" publication. Is it out? Cynthia

The Wonderful World of Computers (Article) - 7/24/2006 6:54:21 PM
Good article. Today, it is questionable if editors have English degrees if you could see the misspellings in grammer and words in the rejection letters. Then, some are so prissy about it, it is the laugh of the day. In one of my novels, there was a time span of five years between the beginning of the story and the end. An editor wrote: "We don't do time travel." ROFL. Reading and comprehension are two different animals. Common sense is lacking where publishing is concerned. Best, Elizabeth

A Ghost Invaded Our Pond (Article) - 10/8/2005 10:00:05 PM
Hank This is great and fun I wonder too but I do know just the man to ask about this one. He'll have the answer and my bets in for a buck. Egotistcal confident do as it wants on one leg bird w/ the span of an eagle 'ey? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm vedy intersting. I love the photo sure is a pirdy birdy If I was that pirdy powerful and confident I think I'd have a admiring problem too. Eat not get fat, all no hassle life, just "Go fish" gimme all yer sevens. Thanks Hank for this wonderful pondering poem of the pond. Kinda sounds more like an angel than a ghost. Tracey xoox (c :)

Hazardous Humor (Article) - 7/31/2005 12:42:18 AM
Ain't it just a shame that this world of people have become so uptight and humorless that they can't just have fun any more. That really is a sad sad thing Hank You can tell jokes about me. I used to start rumors about me and see how far they had gotten when i was working and other times, too. So let's joke around cuz I live in a world of fuddy duddy's too. Anytime!!! your humor and jokes are welcomed by me and about me too. I need to laugh and know how silly I am and a ditz and all kinds of other things, and you can tell the world too I won't get mad or bent out of shape I'm already out of shape. Sad uptight world Hank such a shame. 42xoox's (c :)Tracey

Guide dogs huh? Good story and advice here but I truly don't think that it is so much the car that doesn't like the -45* but rather the author. Baby it's cold out there. and I see the manly callouses are working hard there. Thanks for the hints and the insights to your book and research. Have a great day. Lemme know if she says and does what I said as first response and will do second. Stay Warm Safe and Happy Love Tracey xoox

Santa's Got Problems (Article) - 12/2/2004 2:48:27 PM
I think I'll toss my job application for this particular job, in the woodstove. Too much to do in just one night. I don't think I'm up to the challenge. Funny write, Hank. I enjoyed it. Debbie

Santa's Got Problems (Article) - 11/29/2004 5:43:51 PM
Poor Little Santa. even the north pole and Santa's world doesn't escape the problems of the rest of the world. Gee I thought at least Santa and his Jolliness and Kindness would keep his life Happy. This is really cute. Thanks fer the smiles. God Bless You and Your family through the holidays and all days. Tracey

Santa's Got Problems (Article) - 11/29/2004 4:14:36 PM
So what you're saying is, "There are cow patties on both sides of the fence." Great write, Hank. Cynthia

Santa's Got Problems (Article) - 11/29/2004 10:58:14 AM
Poor Santa..it's not easy being the Jolly Old Elf, is it?? And then people think that he has a cushy job; being Santa is not as easy as you may think...poor Santa faces more stress than most, and I wouldn't want his job for NOTHING! Cute write; thanks for sharing! (((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

Halloween Masks (Article) - 10/25/2004 5:00:32 PM
This is too funny, Hank! LOL I don't care for Hallowe'en either; but I AM dressing up this year for work! (Mardi Gras reveller; don't need no mask; just some beads, a toy crawfish, and a Cajun shirt! Maybe I'll bring my cd and bring some Cajun tunes; yeah, that'll do! Jammin' while I am workin'! LOL) (((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

Love snow time and know you can have long walks in it and enjoy it even if it is so cold. I think it is so beautiful on the trees and ground and all. But stay in and don't drive in it. So far in PA had 2 minor snow storms.

Snow-time (Poetry) - 12/15/2008 12:11:59 PM

Green Tea (Poetry) - 11/10/2008 6:33:05 PM
Maybe an occasional cup will see you through. Maybe a cup every year on the anniversary of your pacemaker--how would that be? Make sure you don't have it with broccoli, though. Blood thinners and broccoli don't go well together, either. I am very partial to Tea poems, and to tea. You have my sympathy. Connie
