Autumn musings

Fall is in the air, school buses are making trial runs as the kids are getting new school supplies. The bird songs in the neighborhood have quieted down considerably, possibly they have flown to warmer climes already. The sun is shining, but the slant is different and the evenings cooler. In the northwest, where I live, the shift of daylight from summer to winter is pretty extreme and the days are getting shorter now. All signs point to one thing, summer is over. Autumn musings.

This used to be my dad's favorite season, and this will be the first one he's missed in his 94 years on the planet. I miss dad today, gone these four months now. Mourning comes in fits and starts, not an all-at-once and then done with it manner. I expect there will be many times in the years ahead when a song or a scent will bring him back, and then I'll lose him all over again.

Reactivating site

OK, I'm going to run an experiment here and post concurrent entries with my two blog sites. I want to see which one is really worth the time and effort to maintain, keeping two is not an option. I could stop eating, but really, not practical.

My othr blog spot is attached to my website, http://www.thelakehousemysteries.com/. Worst case is that I will simply keep the two in sync with each other.

Here is the latest post -
       

Available now on Amazon

Blue Ice is now available from Amazon.com. Be sure to search for I.C. Enger since there are a few other similar titles out there. I can guarantee you, there are no similar stories!
Homeland Security is more and more in the news, have you noticed? The emphasis is still focused on ERO, Enforcement and Removal Operations. I expect that one of these days HSI, Homeland Security Investigations, will get a share of the spotlight as well. Not that they would welcome it.
