Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for spring. Spring will bloom supposedly on Thursday and usher out winter. I will believe it when I see it.
Last spring we had a surprise spring snow storm. Almost a foot of snow fell. My tall bushes, (their name escapes me at the moment) were bent over touching the ground. Same goes for a nine foot soft pine, my son Kyle’s tree. They survived. This past winter those same items were once again bent and touching the ground. The bushes will require some extreme pruning, while the pine I’m afraid will be cut down…its needles are brown. Maybe the roots this spring will push up a new sprout to replace it. I don’t know. Sad to see it go.
The old furnace also found this winter rough and coughed and hacked its way through it. The vehicles we rely on also crossed the finish line with some worry. My wife and sons also made it through; although I’m sure we are all ready for some time outside. Cabin Fever is a bitch.
I look forward to finishing up an outdoor project I started last spring. I began cleaning up the yard of loose debris from bygone winters and years of past neglect. I did manage last year to make a mess of things. Hopefully, I can have it all cleaned up by this fall and enjoy a Bar-b-Q or two.
Pepper, our Basenji, is already biting at the leash and wanting to explore the world again. I look forward to those walks down Elm Point and around the ballpark.
Ah, just the thought of warm weather makes me antsy…that is if it ever gets here.

Kingdoms of the Dead: Chemical Rot [Kindle Edition]
Kingdom of the Dead: The zombie apocalypse like you’ve never seen it before. The plague destroyed nine-tenths of the population, and the dead refuse to rot. The survivors learn that each and every one of them carries a death sentence: the virus circulating in their very bloodstreams. Just how far will one scientist go – how many people’s lives will he destroy in his quest to save the human race? The fates of several worlds hang in the balance.
***
It had only been a week after the twins’ thirteenth birthday party when the whole world had gone to complete shit. At first, both Mortimer and Daniel had thought that witnessing the dead coming back to life and eating folks was probably the most awesome thing ever to happen in their lives. Seeing all those zombies killing people on the nightly news was far better than anything that their video games could have come up with.
Their excitement took a serious blow when the news hit the Internet that a select few were turning without getting bitten. The fear became more profound when these select few began growing daily. When the outbreak reached their hometown, their terror increased exponentially.
Will the twins and their older brother, Martin, survive? Will they learn the truth about the infection that decimated the world’s population, and their role in saving the human race?

“Every single one of those things is a chemical disaster. As long as the zombies still shuffle about, their bodies stay together. It’s only when the things are truly dead when the fun and games begin. Their flesh is nothing more than a foul concoction of highly toxic and corrosive chemicals.” Tony looked at his wife. “How on earth do you dispose of countless millions of corpses that refuse to rot?”
Tony must battle to find the answers before time runs out for all of them.

Even after four long, miserable years, Kenny’s mind and body wouldn’t allow him to forget his impossible resurrection. Of all the millions of souls the plague of death had taken, Kenny believed that only he had risen with his humanity hanging by a thread.
Right now, his thread had frayed to the point of snapping. If he didn’t get his injection, Kenny’s joints would stiffen and the cold would grip his body, and this time the sickness would not release him. He’d be dead for sure this time. After that, there would be no stopping that urge to bite into sweet human meat.
