Wow. Well, this is a record for a dearth of blogging. I could’ve crossed the Sahara and back again, sans water, and the vultures would have been blogging more than yours truly. I’d say “sorry”, but that seems capricious; I’d say you never missed me, but that hurts my feelings too much. So I’ll just […]
We’ve all seen them. The quarterbacks who stayed just a year or two too long in the game. In some cases, we’re talking Hall of Famers. Rather than leave as they peak, they battle it out, bad knees and all. I once was watching a game with my brother—Kansas City versus someone—and Rich Gannon was […]

Now some are understandable, birthdays being amongst those I do understand, but it seems every year the world (or at least the U.S.) comes up […]
I admit it. I am a HUGE movie buff. Not old ones, although I consider the fact that I’ve seen almost no Brando, Bogey, Cagney, or Stewart a blessing because I know I will LOVE all those flicks so it’s like there’s a cornucopia of great films waiting out there for me (which is good […]
I used to blog about the horrific devaluing job on books accomplished by (among others) John Locke and Amanda Hocking. 99 cents for a novel is a crying shame. As a promo price? For a short story? For a crappy book? Perhaps. But that’s not what this post is about. I recently ran a 99 […]
