Welcome to The Blog
If you’re just joining me for the journey – Welcome! If you’re among my original readers – Welcome Back!
The Blog, as before, is a series of stories, commentary, and or blissfully ignorant – yet hopefully humorous – takes on what I see when I look out at this crazy world and get moved enough to suck ten minutes out of your lifespan to share those ideas with you. I know, I know… ten minutes sounds like an awful long time in your minute-fractioned doomscroll through Tik-Tok and YouTube Shorts. But, give it a shot and see if the pictures I paint in league with your brain are not, in fact, more entertaining than the blue-light pixels that are ruining your sleep and driving up the price of coffee on the global stage.
The Blog is current but will have some content, as yet unpublished, from the Great Hiatus – that eleven-year period from the end of The Old Blog until Now. The more observant among you will have noticed that link for The Old Blog up there in the menu. That’s right, the whole story – from sea monsters to The Long Goodbye – is included in all its original glory.
Thanks for reading.

Diamonds on the Soles of My Shoes.

Born to be. Wild, huh?
In which the author, confronted by his eventual mortality, decides to go all in.

The Ice Man Cometh
