Weston Takes His Great Grandfather Duck Hunting
 Welcome to my home page.  From here you can access:

BIKERS',  12/1994 to 12/1997: 500 episodes. The beginnings;
doug&Sylvia,  1/1998 to 2/2004: 1271 episodes of doug tunneling beneath his neighborhood;
SYLVIA,  2/2004 to present: 1406 (so far) episodes of an ongoing saga of all the above and more.

In each daily episode of the above stories I use at least one word from A.Word.A.Day to which I subscribe.  Many times AWADs as well as subscriber comments and suggestions drive the twists and turns of the stories.

To Subscribe: If you want to receive daily episodes (5 a week, usually) of Sylvia, send an email to 2dellis@cox.net. It's a freebie! The only cost is the amount of time it takes you to read it. Send me your email address, tell me you want to subscribe, and I will add your address to the mailing list until you email me back and tell me to remove it.

Thanks to: Len Wanger (aka Doc), technical director and friend, for HTML conversion and assistance in design of the web pages; Katsuyuki YANO (retired) for his encouragement, support, and requiring his students at Kobe City University of Foriegn Studies to subscribe;  to my daughter, Bonnie Beach, for writing some of the episodes of SYLVIA; and to Anu Garg, wordsmith supreme and creator of AWAD, for his permission to use his daily words in the stories.
Thanks too, to: The subscribers, many of whom are kind enough to reply with a variety of comments mostly regarding spelling and  differentiating between homophones: 'wretch' and 'retch', 'shutter' and 'shudder', plus being 'hung' and 'hanged'.    I am quite serious when I say I truly appreciate the editorial assistance. If the correction comes soon after I've emailed the episode I am able to correct the error(s) before it is  'published' onto the web site. 

Suggestions and comments should be emailed to 2dellis@cox.net.

Sylvia is a work of fiction, as was doug&Sylvia and BIKERS'.
