Midnight Train To Tucson
Just to get you in the mood for Tumble Bleed and Jim Walker 2, here is one of my older western stories on the house. Midnight Train to Tucson by Rev. Dare Cloud as C. Derick Miller From The Book Without a Name Disclaimer: this may or may not be the final version. I stumbled […]

I spend the last half hour in a loop. Stuck. Another video soon.
Rev Plays Portal (first time) part 1
My son wants me to play Portal 2 with him but I’ve never played the original. I guess this is happening.

Trinity (a poem)
Chimes on the wind Whether dense forest or major city patio They always take me back to the same place Concrete slab porch A coating of fake grass And bushes taller than I The prickly kind Berries changed with the seasons You remember Windchimes Sometimes, If I ignored the pleas To not climb the bright […]
Let’s Get A Little Freaky

His friend at school is named Matthew Patel. The poor kid is being bombarded with “Ramona Flowers’ first evil ex-boyfriend” […]
Oh, the times they are a-changing…
Today is St. Patrick’s Day. I am officially Irish. Verified via DNA. I stopped drinking three years ago. I asked my son this morning, “Are you wearing anything green?” He looked confused, and then it hit me. Kids aren’t allowed to touch each other anymore. I personally don’t think this is a bad idea, because, […]
When Music Told A Story
Gen X’ers and beyond will know of that which I speak. Many moons ago, artists would write dozens of songs rather than chirping the buzz words of the week into a computer. Also, record producers knew the ebb and flow of energy in albums. You can’t learn that stuff in college. Now, forty people work […]
