And I aint talking about the Ronnie Milsap song, either. ) If you’re like me, there was once a time in your young life when you couldn’t wait to get older because, well, I was a fucking idiot. I say that because, along with what our young, ignorant minds imagined would be amazing, there was…

Audrey Finds The Light
Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t finished reading my books, this either won’t make sense to you, will spoil the ending for you, or both. You’ve been warned. When the last of the community had finally left, Audrey locked up the church and made the short trip home. Though the two buildings stood within shouting distance,…
Five Things I Kind Of Miss
Note: I’ve been sititng on this one for a while. Truth is, I know it’s not profound, meaningful or perhaps even good. Lately my brain is in “spring” mode and there’s a whole lot to plan for coming up in the next couple of months. Anyway, enjoy it for what it is, a fluff piece…
Shopping At The American Museum Of Pop Culture & Kitsch
Also known as, “The Antique Mall.” For the past twenty years or so, several times a year, I have made a trip to one of several antique malls in about a two hour radius of here. The trips began with my wife and I going to Lewisburg in Pennsylvania for a Sunday morning breakfast at…
A Cast Of Characters Redux
Note: I’ve got some new posts coming soon with a list of other ideas to write about as time goes by. While I figure out how often I want to send out new writing, here’s a recap of something I wrote about a year ago. Some of you may have already seen these, but I’m…
Domesticating Zuckerberg’s Beast
Like so many, probably many of you reading this, I have a love/hate relationship with social media – namely Facebook. Excuse me, “Meta.” And since it’s likely that one or two of you are here thanks to a link posted on Facebook, I’ll admit to a certain level of hypocrisy right out of the gate.…
Spring Equinox, Take Me Away!
I’m completely over winter right now. Believe me, I know that I’m hardly unique when it comes to that. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to bitch about it though. I’ve often said that if I could find a place where November and December are cold and snowy, with it all melting and returning to…
A Few Odds And Ends
This post will be a little different than what I normally put out there. First off.. As you may have read on my most recent ( and last ) Substack post, I’ve decided to leave that platform and put all of my newest writing here on my own website. You can’t read it there anymore…
Happy Birthday My Friend, Wherever You Are
As I sit down to write this, I’m thinking about a friend of mine whose birthday is today. Well, I still call him friend, though I can’t say what his take on the matter is, because I haven’t heard from him in going on five years. Though we only got together in person a few…
Elegy For A Stranger
I recently read the news that a woman in a nearby town had passed earlier this year and it produced a moment of sadness as I remembered her. Truth is, I didn’t know Alice well at all. Aside from one or two conversations, we were strangers to each other. But I remember those conversations, well,…
