A voice echoes in the distance, a song upon the wind, calling her back to her own time, her own place, and though she desires to heed its call, she finds her feet unable to turn back the way they came, the road to the land of Maybe forever barred.

Over the weekend, I read the latest from Mark R. Hunter, Slightly Off the Mark: The Unpublished Columns. With columns on everything from politics to the weather (one of my own favorite topics), this book was chock full o’ laughs. I was crying with laughter within minutes of opening this book, and I elicited strange looks from my family as I continued reading.
At 190 pages, it was a quick read, and I finished it within a day. I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately, and this was just what I needed to cheer me up. So if you haven’t checked it out yet, I highly recommend it.
Go on. You know you want to. 🙂
Mark R. Hunter is an author, firefighter, humorist, dad, and self-proclaimed home maintenance failure from northeast Indiana. His weekly humor column “Slightly off the Mark” appeared in three newspapers for over twenty years, which is coincidentally the age of his first grey hair, before being unceremoniously cut short in 2014. This volume collects his previously unpublished and “leftover”columns.

I hope you’re not getting tired of these, because I’m having lots of fun writing them. Tonight I’ve got a guest post up on Dick Hannah’s awesome blog, Publish or Perish, all about procrastination (with a little advice thrown in for good measure).
I hope you’ll check it out, and while you’re there, have a look at some of his other posts. He’s got some great posts on first and last lines in books, as well as a nice collection of quotes about mornings. You won’t want to miss them!

That’s right, I’m still waxing poetic about the weather. It’s another lovely day out there, and I’ve got a nice, long lunch break ahead of me to fill with stories to my heart’s content.
More of this is definitely in store today. I can’t wait to get out there and enjoy the sunshine of another world for a little while! 🙂
How about you – what do you enjoy doing on beautiful sunny days?
