Happy Hello Dear Readers from my Castle on the shore,

A somewhat reduced writing workload and gazing by the ocean certainly agrees with me - - - although my morning walk today was amid snowflakes and temperatures with wind chill in the teens. After all, I can't blot Iowa weather out altogether.

The moods of the ocean are never the same throughout the day. In the morning it placidly greets me often with clear delight, but sometimes with foggy mist. A few times, a storm surge demands respect. Then again, dolphins gallup by telling us to lighten up. At eventide the Atlantic encourages peace and tranquility when the horizon displays a soft pink that envelopes the shoreline. Upon occasion, a brazen orange dares a bold adventure.

I have been approached to do another book. There will be more on this later. Meanwhile, I am reviewing for another student.

Cheers! R
