Sydney, Circular Quay Train Station many years ago…

Dear friends, I am going to share with you a personal story which happened quite a few years ago now. We all have stories and they all hold value to us. The value of this particular story to me is the all-important life-l...

The glaring hot Caribbean sun is losing its lustrous heat, at least from where I am sitting on the mound of yellow dirt, tracking the movement of my shadow. Once my shadow is directly beneath me, I will know there is enough shade, but even now I feel the cool breeze drying my sweat. It is Friday...

Filth, they call it ubiquitous;

obnoxious. On streets,

in heaps, in lanes, scattered.

Life goes daily, usually on,

oblivious of filth,

or death,

goes on with ease.

Unfettered feet, undaunted –

of pilgrims, of people,

with purpose, or strollers

The timeless lanes,

narrow, space ampl...

I received my first cell phone on my sixteenth birthday and, of course, I was overly excited. The first thing I did was call all my friends and made sure my parents had the number and then I went into texting my best friend.

Today on my YouTube channel and podcast I ta...

There’s lots of great fiction that’s a pure escape from reality. And I’ve often sought it out when I needed a self-care respite from all that’s going on in this world that feels overwhelming and monumentally sad. As a fond reader of historical fiction and fantasy, I appreciate how im...

Down we go,
As up she flows,
Together grand,
Distinct roles sparkling,
Nectar of Bean,
Elixir of Mind,
Biting tender on roof & tongue,
Alive with tingling note,
Bursting forth in velvet shine.

In 2018, an employee from the State Bar of Arizona asked me to write an article to describe Blockchain to lawyers. The only way I could do justice to the topic was to write a book about it. Now that I’ve published that book, I’m going to attempt the nearly impossible feat of condensing it into an...

My writing projects come in all shapes and sizes recently. Ongoing work on my novel revision is BIG. Smaller projects are less time consuming. I was asked to come up with some ideas for the copy that would go inside the presentation box of this year’s . I was told what the ornament would be but s...

2) One of the most important things we learn when we do “snap shot” drills CORRECTLY, is exactly how much precision we need in order to get as fast as we can get, at different ranges. I need a lot less precision to get a head shot in less than one second at 10 meters than I do to get a torso sho...

Por dios, es que nadie, ¿pero NADIE se da cuenta que todos los políticos son lo mismo? Derecha, centro, izquierda, populista, comunista, peronista, kirchnerista, macrista, sindicalista… Son todos lo mismo.
