I have had the distinct pleasure of conversing with British author Jane Isaac via Twitter and Facebook. She has a wonderful sense of humor and writes about murder. We authors take the time to showcase each other so that readers can gain a sense of who we are and what […]

As I stand here overlooking the forces amassed against us, I ask how did it come to this? I have now journeyed for two years and have faced evil at every turn. Somehow I survived my journey north and freed those enslaved by King Yubal and aided in the freeing […]
I often refer to Monty Python as the corruptible influence to my offbeat humor. Their influence arrived in my early teens and left around mid-college. At age 53, I’ve devoted 31 years to a buttoned down professional career as a CPA. In those 31 years there was very little time […]
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 […]

I was refreshed recently by a British chap who took me to new heights of bantering. He reminded me of the old days of Monty Python’s humor. If you tried to outdo or “one up” the other, they would reply brilliantly back. I miss the days of old where men […]
My wife is a quilter and no, she is not that old. Somewhere in her DNA is an urge to quilt. Many young and middle aged women are rediscovering the art of quilt making, fellowship and a lot of wine drinking. They go off on these things my wife calls […]
Yesterday I tweeted with author Daniel Kemp @danielKemp6 who is from the United Kingdom. Here is a recap of our insane one-upmanship skills. EW – “Thanks for the multiple RT’s Hope you are having a great day or evening since you are in the UK.” DK – “Someone has to […]
