Travel Review: Houligans Steak & Seafood
Last time we talked food, I talked about my favorite place to eat in my childhood home of South Carolina. This week, I thought it would be fitting to talk about my favorite place to eat in my adult home of Eau Claire, WI. And quite simply put, that place …

I Love it When a Plan Comes Together!
As a writer, I often find myself in places where I have a basic concept of what I want to do with something, which then usually gathers some details as it rolls about in my brain, but more often than not, it takes a moment of epiphany before I actually …

Fat Mogul vs. Self-Affirmations

Fat Mogul vs. Preparations
During a discussion I had yesterday about schooling for young children, someone actually used the phrase 3K with regards to preschool for three year olds. I’m not going to say I’m surprised or anything, in fact, I’m quite certain I’ve heard the term used before. However, I couldn’t help but …

Fat Mogul vs. Mooooondays
I like Garfield and all, but there is generally a disagreement between me and him about Mondays. I rather like Mondays. Although I appreciate the hell out of my weekends, there’s something about the return to routine that is Monday morning that is somewhat relaxing. Even with my supreme distaste …

Book Review: The Last Dance by Wyatt McIntyre
From the looks of my current site stats, you folks are really digging the book reviews on here. That’s good, because I intend to do my best to highlight more indie authors on a much more regular basis as time continues. One of the hardest thing to do in this …
