March is over, and with it the “Winds’ project. We had 30 entries this month from 29 different contributors. It proved a fascinating array of conversations on different aspects of winds — real to metaphorical. None made the Main Feed this month, but that is okay.  The maximum number of comments generated by any of our windy topics […]

Today would have been my Dad’s 92nd birthday. Like many of the “Greatest Generation,” he served in the Pacific on a Landing Ship Medium (LSM) as a radioman. He mentioned some twists of fate on how he survived the war. Because of his size (6’1”, 180 lbs.) and strength, he was originally trained to carry a heavy tube radio […]

The wind is rather fascinating as far as natural phenomena go. Sometimes the wind just moves a few dead leaves around and sometimes it takes a few shingles off your roof. When the wind gets it together to actually do something nice for you, that’s called a windfall. Those don’t happen very often. Sometimes you […]

Soaring like a gentle silhouette against the sky, it glides and dips, gracefully making the wind its partner. Its splayed wings are huge, allowing it to linger effortlessly high above. As it circles, it is beautiful. I find myself leaning from one side to the other as I follow its flight. After it lands, I […]

In 1983 I had been living in Houston for almost four years. My house was in southern Harris County, with an elevation of 29 feet. I mention the elevation because that is critical when responding to a hurricane threat. The rule for a hurricane is “run from the water, hide from the wind.” Rising water […]

How do the family stories even get started? I’m a Southerner, no matter where I was born and raised. My father’s family landed in Virginia before the Lees. Our particular patriline dipped south of the border into North Carolina after a few generations and then a few generations later started moving westward. Our forefathers went […]

The theme for March is Wind. Anything to do with wind. Pretty broad topic, I thought. Maybe I was wrong because we still have four openings with February sweeping to an end.  We need four stout-hearted Ricochetti to step up and take one of the days. It is not hard, honest. Pick something to do […]

February is slipping away, and openings remain in our March writing project: Wind. There are four day until we open the new month, and we have eight slots unfilled – over a week’s worth. Are there going to be windswept gaps this month? Are some days going to be dust in the wind? Will the […]

Gone With the Wind? It will be if you do not act soon. Our March series has wind as its theme. Anything to do with wind. Even novels or movies with the word wind in the title (Inherit the Wind or Sharknado). Or an experience with wind. Or wind phenomena. Anything. This is your chance to […]

Yep. We have another Group Writing series scheduled in March. The theme is Wind – anything to do with wind. A personal experience with wind. Something meteorologically related to wind. The cosmic wind. Breaking wind (although someone has taken that one). Windy speakers. Breezy writing styles. Wind-based sports and hobbies. Anything. Except – our goal is […]

The Answer is Blowin’ in the Wind. Yep. We put out a call for volunteers for Group Writing’s March Series – Wind – earlier this week. So how many openings do we still have? Too many. Each month we seek out Ricochetti to post a conversation on a common theme. In March the theme is wind. […]

FILLED! March approaches. This means it is time to organizes another monthly theme-based writing project. Since March is about wind I have arbitrarily decided that will be the March theme. Write something about wind. It can be about March wind, or ocean winds, or solar wind. Windy speakers or windy cities. The summer wind that came blowing in from across the […]
