Visit With Dad

I sometimes wish he were still around, but am, also glad he’s not. What little advice he offered me last night was about par when he was alive; more elusive than forthcoming. It was as if he was telling me, “figure it out for yourself; I did.”

My New and Improved Website

Last week, my web master Frank asked me about changing my site to make it look newer and fresher. Since I got two new books coming out shortly, he thought it would be a good idea to give you, my readers a better look into my projects that I worked on what will undoubtedly show up on bookstore shelves in the future.

Where We go From Here

Sunday evening after coming home from work and doing my usual chores before relaxing and preparing to get myself motivated for the next day I watched TV and saw a special report that I should stay away Downtown Spokane because of a civil disturbance occurring. A half hour later,. local news reporters holding microphones andContinue reading “Where We go From Here”

Another Crazy Week

I thought it was bad enough when in my own town of Spokane, we have an absolute fool running around, partying with friends and is COVID-19 positive. To this stupid and needless murder of a black man by a white cop, who should have known better but instead followed his darkest angels and now the resultContinue reading “Another Crazy Week”

She was a sad angel because she was always there to protect her for over seventy human years–angels are eternal.

Mouse Trap

While sitting at my desk writing and reading; basically passing away the days during this shutdown, I’ve noticed a little mouse who has decided to play with fire while searching for food. On top of another desk in my office I have an hdtv, my “gaming” computer, which at one time long ago, was myContinue reading “Mouse Trap”

The Joys of COVID-19 Quarantine

I’m writing from the comfort of my home-office where I’ve been staying hidden from the people out there who may or may not be infectious spreaders of COVID-19. I had a cold that I just recently got over. I also am happy to report I have no fever, no dry, hacking cough and no shortness ofContinue reading “The Joys of COVID-19 Quarantine”

A Funeral for a Friend

The road trip was because of a funeral of a family friend. She was 79 and lived a fulfilling life. Now I drove to a small town where I first met her over 52 years ago. We see things differently in the lens of time and here was no exception. Even though I had aContinue reading “A Funeral for a Friend”

Corona Scare Tactics

It’s quite obvious, from where history stood that the media people and the government are using the same scare tactics used to alert us minions about certain unfounded bumps in the night, and the latest Corona virus is no different. We can go back as far as the 17th century when the hysteria of witchesContinue reading “Corona Scare Tactics”
