  •       Years ago, "blogs" were "it". Remember "MySpace"? Now extinct. Facebook, Twitter, Vlogs, YouTube Channels, Podcasts. You know them all. I certainly don't. There are lots and lots of political pages, book review pages, author pages, reader pages, you-name-it pages, to engage on the Internet. Not to mention the odious Dark Web.  Blogs…

  •                                 As you can see, this picture of my old friend Rick Davis and me goofing around has been "through it" over the many years since it was taken. Rick passed away a few years ago, but just before he…

  •     There's a certain satisfaction and relief and joy that comes with finishing a novel – one that I've written. But there's also a terrible melancholy that sinks in within a very short time.

  •           This is an absolutely beautiful cover of Foreigner's "Waiting for a Girl Like You". It's a fabulous cover and a great song. Wow.    Father, you've given us such amazing musicians. May they all one day realize the One who's given them their talents and gifts. In the Name of…

  •                                    Name five of your favorite movies. They don't have to be in order. Can be random choices that come to mind. Five movies you enjoy.   POTC Curse of the Black Pearl  The Tourist (remake) The Bourne Series…

  •                 Frozen in time . . . caught in the moment when the mood is written in the eyes and the pose says it all.  Longacres Racetrack, a very long time ago.    Father, you watched the struggle, you waited patiently, and finally at just the right moment…

  •         On the evening of February 14th, 2022, I finished my latest novel. Then . . . you is now sporting the two words that brought it to a close: The End. Yes, it's a love story. Yes, I love this one. Yes, I hope those of you who choose to read…

  •     With clips from the film The Bodyguard starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, one of Whitney's most beautifully performed songs with meaningful lyrics, it's absolutely one of my all-time favorites.
