In 2008 I lived in the mountain community of Alto, New Mexico. Our house rested at 7,200 elevation and we frequently saw bears, racoons and other animals. Racoons have a bizarre scream. It’s almost supernatural and hideous. I have insomnia so I hear a lot of noises at night. Each […]
My daughter introduced us to the series “House”, which is about the quirky savant Dr. Gregory House played by British actor, comedian and author Hugh Laurie. We have found we love the series. However, how come there isn’t a series about CPA’s? I just think a hit series should be […]
Why do I love Arimar? He had filled the dreams of my youth and appeared to me now past my prime, yet something draws me near to him. He has brought no army to free the enslaved, yet I trust him nonetheless. He fought for the soul of my sister, […]

I have mentioned more than once, okay, okay – a thousand times that I am a member of Toastmasters International. One of my favorite parts of the meeting is a 1-2 minute recap of actions or comments members present during our meeting. This is called “Observational Humor.” The goal is […]
This photo started it all. A good friend of mine superimposed my head on the author Nora Robert’s body. I had made mention that I admired her website and wanted to duplicate it. Not her body, just the website functionality. This is how a technology wise guy armed with Photoshop […]
