My younger sister, Rebel, yes that is really her name, wrote on her blog about the experience we had with something unusual in our childhood. Here I will recall the experience from my perspective. When I was around 13 we put to sleep a dog that lived to be 17 […]
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 […]

When readers respond to my insanity, they are enablers of more insanity. I posed a question on Facebook on whether I should go topless at this year’s costume party with my Hottie Scottie costume. The costume package showed a young, fit and topless man in the costume. Well I am […]
I cannot speak for all authors, but music supports my writing. When I envision a battle scene I might just play one of the Lord of the Rings symphony music pieces, such as the Lighting of the Beacons, the Ride of the Rohirrim, or the Last March of the Ents. […]
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 […]
