I’ve been playing this day over and over in my head for a week now. If nothing comes of today, it’ll be a deep hole that I’ll have to dig myself out of. I’m not an optimist by nature, but I’ve been optimistic about today. Lisa would say that it’s misplaced optimism, and she’d probably [...]
Another one of those top rated freebies on Amazon, “A Little Death in Dixie” is a by the numbers police drama with some interesting twists. Imagine “Law and Order” with a little HBO mixed in, and you have this book. The plot isn’t hidden from the reader. The journey is seeing how the main character [...]

I have decided I do my best work medicated after allergies/ sickness. That or I completely ruined what I worked on and I am going to regret it in morning. – – – - Happy birthday Leesie! My darling wife turns 30 at 3.17pm today. She’s my hero and best friend and I was lucky [...]
