Early this week the wifi internet was going at normal speed…and then by Wednesday it was nearly at dial-up speed! Wind maybe? In trying to download email or Facebook posts or messages or whatever, half the time the router went out and so I had to shut off the router for five minutes then wait another five minutes for the internet to work…. but that’s what I get for living in rural remote far west Texas! Get satellite, you say? Right! Like I just loooovvvve being metered! After all, these ViaSat or whatever satellites are roughly 22,000 miles from Earth…and then what if the Gateway goes down?
And then other issues have come up, sooo….
I’ll have the next post up by next Wednesday, the latest. If the internet “allows” me to post, and WordPress is actually working properly….that constant waiting for the “write post” page to download on slow internet is also pain. Oh, and I’m NOT moving to a big city with 5G….I’d rather live in a cave in the middle of nowhere! Cheers!

Born on Long Island, NY, in 1952, now live in the mountains of far west Texas. Began writing fiction stories at about 8 years old with pen and loose leaf paper, and created the characters in my Prodigal Band Trilogy as a teenager. From the 70s to the 90s I created the scenario which I believe was inspired. While bringing up and home schooling my two children I continued to work on the novels and published "Battle of the Band" in 1996 and "The Prophesied Band" in 1998. Took off the next several years to complete home schooling and also working as an office manager for the local POA. In 2016, I retired, then resumed The Prodigal Band, a FREE PDF book that tells the whole story to its glorious end. Hint: I'm a true believer in Christ and I'm on a mission from God, writing to future believers, not preaching to the choir. God gave me a talent and, like the band in my books, I am using that talent for His glory, not mine (and, like me, the band is on its own journey, only fictional.) I also wrote for my college newspaper and headed up production, was a columnist in a local newspaper in the early 2000s, and wrote for and edited "Log of the Trail," the news letter for the Texas Mountain Trail Writers, and wrote for and edited it's yearly catalog of writings, "Chaos West of the Pecos." OmegaBooks is my self-publishing sole proprietorship company founded in 1995. Other jobs included teaching secondary math, health aide, office worker, assembly line work, and free-lance writing and bookkeeping,much of it while home schooling.
