My wife and I have taken the stay the fuck at home orders seriously. We only go out to the grocery store, take out places, and post office. We religiously wear our masks, wash our hands, wipe everything down while in the store, etc. We canceled our trip to Texas after the Lonestar Book Event… Read More Rolling Home
No-one was more surprised than I was when asked to participate in a Curve Magazine event, titled Hot Spots and Connect the Dots. Why?

As usual, I troll social media because sometimes there are extremely funny posts. One of those asked why a certain business wasn’t considered essential. I had to agree with that popular author’s perspective and decided to weigh in with my list of essential and non-essential businesses. Note: There may be some tongue in cheek humor…… Read More Top 5 Essential and Non-Essential Businesses

Like everyone else, I have been watching the news (obsessively). With retirement comes ample free time to obsess over the news.

For more than three years, there has been a deep divide… Read More Unity…
For those of you who have ever read any of my books, you already know that I almost always sprinkle humor into the story. And yet, I also usually have a serious subtext embedded within. Sometimes I wonder if that subtext is watered down because of that humor. Hmmm…this is a new conundrum I have… Read More Humor Me…
Join The Mailing List! Easing into retirement wasn’t exactly the smoothest transition. I am using that excuse for the reason why I’ve been majorly slacking lately. I haven’t written a single word since retirement and this is my first blog since I retired. Yeah, I know, that’s horrible. Here’s the thing, I think developing a… Read More My New Normal
We are in a particularly scary moment in history fueled by social media. Facebook and Twitter expand the principles of the mob mentality. Throw in power differentials and we have a powder keg.
