Grand Re-Opening
Hello Friends
I have neglected this site for years. No more.
Write Now is again open for business and that means open for our posts. Gotta join first but that's free and easy.
The world is weirder than ever. There is so much to say.

Tbilisi Travel Blog
Some of you know that I leave for Tbilisi, Georgia, this Friday, Jan. 16. I'll be back the evening of Feb. 14. I've got a 4-week consulting gig with an EU tax reform project.
I dread the travel. This will be my quickest trip ever, just 21 hours, 22 hours home. It has ranged up to 32+. With my big butt in an economy-class seat that long it is almost enough to make me stay home. I say almost because I would likely have made the trip on my own dime sometime this year to visit friends… Continue

Writing Class
Edythe and I began a writing class, something I have never done before, last night at the downtown Eugene LCC campus. The instructor is Linda Clare and she has a LOT to say about writing. It promises to be a very good class.
One of the things she talked about is our writing environment, about how much it helps if you can dedicate even a small space to your writing and eliminate as many distractions as you can. One of our assignments is to create or improve our writing space. I write… Continue

- Howdy Chuck-
This is classic vernacular for "Do not do unto others that which is hateful to you." Mr. Wayne had a delivery that could translate values and emotions into gems.
Although he is remains my favorite cowboy actor, his support of Senator McCarthy's witch-hunts, Nixon's candidacies, and dedicated support of the Viet-Nam War tarnish his star for me. I also have some trouble with his condoning of the genocide of N. America's native population. But none of this shows in his movies. His film persona was a major element in the formation of my view of the U.S. as a great country, and of my duty to it. I still enjoy his movies, but can't quite figure out how he fired the Browning .30 cal MG without a mount. But if anyone could, it would be John Wayne.
See 'yall later- I'm off on a mission to buy used books.

- Hi Chuck~ Thanks for the welcome and the intro to Write Now. I intend to comment on some of those photos, although others need no more that a title. I'm glad to be here among such illustrious personages as yourself, and hope to add something worthwhile.

- Hi Chuck, thank you for the warm welcome. I'm sorry to hear of your wife's health problems, but it sounds like (hopefully) she's doing well now. My best wishes go to the two of you.
As far as my daughter Scarlet is concerned, she is absolutely wonderful and both myself and her mother are immensely proud of her. I'm sure that I'm going to get a telling off from her when she reads this, but she knows how we feel about her and it is lovely,for me, to read other people who also say nice things about her, so thank you.
As for the site, it seems like a very relaxed and friendly place and I'm quite pleased that Scarlet found it and enjoys it. I'm not much of a writer myself, but I'm sure I will keep looking in every now and again to see whats going on.
Cheers.....Alan.

- If you know Cliff, he's much more a talker, than a writer!

- I was there in 1968 pretty much. I served as the awards and decorations clerk HHT, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment (Black Horse). Cliff and I go way back to his Employment Division Days. He left and I stayed on until age 60, now happily retired.

- I don't know who had the yellow square, in fact I never noticed it before you mentioned it. I downloaded the image from the internet. I was actually an awards and decorations clerk and served as a bunker guard at our base in Bien Hoa sometimes.

- Hello Chuck, and thank you for the warm welcome! I am very excited to be a part of a writers network, especially since I've been more interested in creative writing, as of late, so I will be sure to post something soon.
