Change Crashes into the Denial Puppet

There are no easy answers, but there are text book responses to some of our current problems. Climate change denial spews from the mouths of many a politician receiving funding from various Big Oil and Gas corporations. Curious how these brilliant minds seem to see something that an entire globe of scientists do not see. […]

Least Change on a Wing Called Tern

Come this way, down thispath, through the dune grass, to the edge of the shore, where we can bare our souls to the wind, the waves, the sun. And then from the edge of this island, where sand meet the breakers, we sit and we wonder, without book, without care, no bugs to bug, no […]

Change Changed Newport

Busking was salvaged from the dictionary some years back and put to work again as a term describing street performing. I visited Newport, Rhode Island and while strolling the waterfront walked past this joint. Not that busking would go down very well in Newport. I make it my business to know about where buskers play […]

Changing Ground Rules for Teens

It is hard to read the paper and have the headlines not change your mind. What the heck is going on? All I want to do is a show now and again, get a book published, and enjoy the good things life has to offer. I think Syria is easier to understand than a credit […]

The Plot Changes

This is what it looks like when an author finishes his latest project. You take the plot off the wall to make room for the next one… I’m tinkering with a comedy. The working title is Hot Spring Honeymoon. I’ll spend the next months drafting character profiles, creating plot lines, subplots, beginnings and ending’s, until […]

People Who Change Us

The changes in the lagoons and estuaries of Redwood Citystir the mood. The breathless still air of morning brings tranquility. The near afternoon gales that strafe through here bring tension. My 36 foot sloop was pressed against the visitors dock by the late afternoon prevailing winds. I had to use additional lines to secure her […]

Scenes from a Changed Way of Life

In San Francisco just south of the ballpark stands this artifact from the cities past. Here is where railway cars were loaded for transit across the bay. The Bay View Boat Club sits on the bank adjacent to this pier. Along the waterfront are a wide range of now obsolete wharfs, piers, and docks. I […]

Something Old, Something New, Everythings Changed…

I have been buried in the writers cave. It has been putting me through the changes. Fortunately the changes it has been putting me through are about to change, and this is change this writer is going to use to revive the soul. I’d imagine there are millions of people the world over working […]
