The Interview

Just happened to check in on my blog to discover that two years ago today was the day I signed up at WordPress. Haven't thought of much to write about in the last few weeks... March has had some rough memories the last couple of years and my inspiration is in a bit of a … Continue reading The Interview →

One Year Ago

One full year has gone by since  the passing of my wife and companion of 27 years. Much has changed in that year, but much is the same. I find that I miss what we had together, especially during our years in the Denver area. I miss our home, our friends our holidays together and … Continue reading One Year Ago →

The Rescue

I'm thinking I should probably put some of these stories down on the old electronic paper... John Hoss was my usual partner in crime and he has long since passed from cancer and I'm no spring chicken anymore either!

If it were a cable car, it would take about 23 trips to carry that many people. Click here to see the … Continue reading 2015 in review →

Concept

I've been turning down writing jobs right and left these days... At first they sound good, write your favorite material from home and make money! So you apply and then find out you are going to get $5 per article and you are expected to write five articles a day. I'm like, no you don't … Continue reading Concept →
