Hey everyone. It seems I have fallen back into my habit of not writing my blog as often as I had wanted to. Perhaps it's the lack of information, or the lack of inspiration... In truth it's because I'm a lazy old poo. Well at least I'm honest.

I don't think that it's good enough just to admit your b Read more of this blog post »

In 1976 I was gifted the book A Touch of Wonder by Arthur Gordon. The book was published in 1974. I fell so deeply in love with the book, I’ve given it as a gift many times.

SUMMER MEMORIES

When I was growing up, one of the big events we looked forward to each year was a trip to Six Flags over Texas. My family didn't have a lot of money. So, we would collect spare change all year to afford the tickets for the once-a-year event - sometimes accompanied by our cousins from Read more of this blog post »

When in the ocean, even a bird has to swim. Flight – one of life’s greatest gifts – is useless in water. But in the water, other gifts prevail. To swim into the great unknown, and to plumb its depths, is another gift entirely, one that the birds of the air can never fully fathom.

The first two weeks have gone well. The second book of the series is finished. Brett Wilson and DeSoto's Cross is the title of book two in the series. The adventures continue for Brett.

Damn, that's a LOT of S's in a title.

But hey, come join me, anyways!
