New tech
My computers are up again with the new network stuff. The entire thing was vastly complicated because of my insistence that nothing change from my end. So you can't just update me and give me some instructions. You've got to tweak everything. A real pain in the ass. My apologies to my techs; Jon and Charles. Mostly Charles today, since he took the brunt of it. Darla was home sick so she couldn't take my emergency intercom calls. Okay, my frantic, I can't find my files calls. I managed my six pages on Merry before Charles arrived and he… Read More

Weird, but nice
Odd day, but in a good way. I was at my desk by a quarter 'til eight this morning. By nine I had my Merry pages done. Jon and I took the dogs for their walk, then I came back from my second writing session. Not on Merry, but on anything I wanted to write. I've just started in the last few days, giving myself permission to write on other things for a second go 'round. So far, what I've mostly worked on is Anita. Merry first thing in the morning, then a brief break, then Anita. Sometimes the… Read More

Writers Digest
One of the most interesting things about life when something irretrievable happens is that the world does not stop. Everything else continues. One of the things to continue is the blog. So, here's an attempt to get back to normal. Whatever that means. I am on the cover of WRITERS DIGEST magazine. I knew they had done the interview, but I didn't realize my picture was on the cover until Darla brought it to my attention on the web. The magazine is able to be ordered now, and those with a subscription have gotten their copies. It's the April… Read More

Saying good-bye
Darla has said the thank you's, I will try to talk about saying good-bye. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department did Rob proud. I knew that police look at funerals differently, but I didn't really understand what that meant. Now, I do. I have, unfortunately, been to more than my share of funerals, and they are sad and bitter things. What Jon and I went to this last week was a celebration of Rob's life. His brothers spoke of his life, and what they'd learned from him being their big brother. Fellow police spoke, and made us laugh and… Read More

Thank you again.
Thank you all for your words of kindness. So many people linked simply by computer. So many I have never met. Yet you share my grief and your prayers and thoughts mean the world to me and my family. Words are not adequate to say what I feel, thank you. Thank you so very much. Some have asked about the coverage that was mentioned. You can find it at www.myfoxstl.com, enter Cooney in the search box. The first link has a text and the sidebar has video. Though it is still too difficult for me to watch. Darla
