A common trope in romance centers around how a person’s past affects future relationships. It’s often used as a way to explain a person’s hesitancy to get involved with someone new. Sometimes it’s a bad break up in the past. Sometimes it is a deceased partner they simply cannot get over. Sometimes there is real… Read More The Rear View Window and the Windshield
While there might not ever be a free lunch for anyone, I promise there are numerous free book offers out there. Some that come from very well known authors. Over the years, I’ve seen the free book promotions and on occasion I’ve taken advantage of those. Well…I know I am not as well known as… Read More Free, Free, Free, Free, Free
With the Fall season right around the corner as September firmly plants its feet in the ground, we’ll all soon begin to see the debate around pumpkin spice heat up. The vitriol behind the chatter on this seasonal flavor is truly mind-blowing. It’s a spice, people, not something as important as having one’s reproductive rights… Read More The Pumpkin Spice Wars…

Another angel lost their life… Read More Cancer Sucks…Part II

While we were driving through New Mexico, I noticed a sign that said: If you don’t establish your brand, be prepared to be branded (or something like that).

My wife and I have a bit of dark humor surrounding maturing, and she often jokes about if ever getting to a point in her life when she can’t live independently and needs care. Her exact words are: just push me off a cliff. Unfortunately it became all too apparent when visiting my father that… Read More Push me off a cliff
