Bacon Wrapping

Vegans are a plague upon every happy hour within driving distance of a tennis court.

He is our Shame, Our Agony

To the Barricades Pulling out of the Paris Agreement pisses me off. I’m furious with the titans of industry extorting our representatives into taking this outrageous action. We are the rogue nation with a blighted unhealable soul. Any semblance of our being that shining beacon on a hill just got tossed into the dustbin […]

The free grazer movement depends upon more magical thinking than my character Garrett Harwood. My […]

Walking into the New Year

Hawaii for the last two weeks. Editing and organizing all sorts of various details to this journey in publishing and authoring. Here a steep footpath up the side of a North Shore O’ahu trail for purposes of self-revival. Hot Spring Honeymoon’s manuscript is on schedule.
