Lonely Sunset

     Hey, everyone. This was sunset, a few days ago. It was taken from my back deck. As you can see, not a whole lot of neighbors back there. None, actually. Sunsets are usually pale and washed out up here, for some reason. This was a nice one, though.
     When you sit outside at night, it's good to sit with your back to a wall or a tree. Mountain lions like to attack from the rear and bite the neck of their victims. The truth is, we don't see them all that often but you can tell they've been about by tracks and things. I guess that the total sightings I've had is about four. They certainly have my respect. I don't let them keep me out of the woods but I take precautions.
     I've had a bit of the flu for the last couple of days. Quite the drag, it is. Taken numerous naps to combat the stuff. It has hindered me from typing on the latest manuscript because I've felt crummy.
    I'm really grateful for the change in the weather. We've had warmer days and no snow for a week or two. Hopefully, the winter is over as far as the white stuff is concerned.
    All of you guys that are Apple people might want to go to the app store and try a new game called Last Temple. It's a match three game in the tradition of Treasures Of Montezuma or Akzend. There is a free version and I think you'll enjoy it.
     On TV last night I watched an old movie with Tom Selleck. The title is Her Alibi. Tom plays a writer of mysteries who succeeds as a writer but fails as a liver of life. The movie pokes fun at writers, I think. Tom brings a strange and mysterious lady into his home. He thinks the woman may kill him. It's very funny when he writes a book to correspond with events, except he writes it like he is the brave and daring sleuth and in reality he is a timid geek. If you want, have Net-Flix beam it to you tonight. It is charming and funny. I wish I had a house like the guy in the movie.
    Wow, it's lonely outside tonight. It's very quiet. My wife is not home. I guess I could grill something and entice a mountain lion in, so I could get a picture. Maybe he'd even strike a cool pose and flex his muscles, bare his teeth or something. Before I begin to remind myself of the writer in Her Alibi, I'll say goodbye from the author's green retreat. I'm CE Wills.

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

      Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away.       We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was ...

You're Aiming the Missile Where?

    Hey, everyone, out there in game-land. The number 1 game on the friendly neighborhood app store is Call of Duty: Strike Team . No wonder, because it is a terrific game. The farther I play, the cooler it gets. But before I get to that, what are all these numbers indicating on my gun? Has to be some sort of ammo indicator for the clips, I guess. either that or some of my compadres has trouble doing his math homework. Whatever.     Hey. Check out the picture of me hitching a ride on an enemy truck so that my team can infiltrate a missile silo. Do you like the face mask? I bought it at a store called Fashions by Bane. Ha, ha. (Batman Reference) On this mission, my team was assisted by a Russian Spetsnaz squad. How's that for detente, comrade? These Spetsnaz guys make everything fun. What I mean is this. We shoot bunches of enemies and get into the bowels of the silo. We get to the gantry where the missile is (Pictured above) and we see that the rad...

Shadowgun: Killing The Windbreaker

    Hey, everyone. I thought it might be a good time for a bit of an update on the riveting game called Shadowgun. Consider this your spoiler alert and tune out if you want to.     Once you get past the dreaded Driller, things get better but you are certainly not out of the woods. You will want to make sure you keep a full clip in your gun as you stroll through the realm of the evil and crazy Dr. Simon. But hey, you're John Slade, the Shadowgun, and wherever you set your foot is the place to which your authority extends.      I love the way that some of the barriers disintegrate under the impact of bullets. I didn't learn this at my mother's knee but I darn sure know it now. I have learned that there are certain places it is good to plan on using the rocket launcher. Keep your stock of those filled. There are these transporter guys who are aggressive punks. The only way they respect you is if you kill them, so that's the way I roll. As...
