Editorial note: I wrote the bulk of this on Memorial Day, sent it to my publishing family as a PathBinder Publishing newsletter that day, then took a break before reconfiguring parts of it for my author site. So yes, it posted on June 3, not Memorial Day (May 31). But the Memorial Day references were... Continue Reading →
April 27, 2021 – OK, get all your eye puns out in plain sight. Because seeing them clearly might be a chore for me right now. Me with glasses and supporting the alma mater. Me without glasses and hanging out in downtown Edinburgh, Indiana. With me in between cataract surgeries (right eye last Wednesday, left... Continue Reading →
March 30, 2021 – I just finished spreading powdered cinnamon in my yard for the fourth straight day. That’s supposed to be one of the more humane ways to get ground bees to stop making nests in your ground and going elsewhere. They’re not supposed to like cinnamon. Mr. Ground Bee, you are a pesky...

January 6, 2021 – Hello, and welcome to a brand new year.

“It’s me, your biggest nightmare.” That’s how my dad opened our latest conversation. We’ve been talking a lot on the phone and via email lately, partly due to the fact that he and mom are stuck in their house with the coronavirus still wreaking havoc. But also because I’m publishing a book of his memoirs,... Continue Reading →

Feb. 9, 2020 Howdy, folks. It has come to my attention that there is no subscribe button on my home page. I wondered how this could be as the number of followers this site has is into triple digits.

It's 2020, which is the year of perfect sight, hindsight and Barbara Walters. If you get all those references, you're cool. If not, looks like you've got some Internet searches to do.
