The Devil and I are old friends, though we disagree on politics. I like the party that wants to help people live better lives. He likes the party of chaos. These days, though, the Devil is having a hard time. The internet has made him irrelevant. Every time I see him, he’s grumbling about theContinue reading “The Devil and Me”

In Greek mythology, Sleep and Death are twins. All I can say is, I hope not. When I sleep I have dreams. I’d like to say “weird dreams,” but all dreams are weird. They’re nothing like the dreams we see in movies or read about in books. They never point the way, answer questions, tellContinue reading “Why Dreams Don’t Come True”

Okay, wait a minute… I know I was here just a minute ago. Things are a bit foggy right now. I mean, I know that I started this blog with the idea that I would add to it with some kind of regularity. Did I do that? What? August? My last blog was in August?Continue reading “A Bit Foggy”

Mark Twain once wrote that if you wanted to inflict a burdensome punishment on a young man, ask him to keep a journal. I feel that way often when I sit to blog. In the beginning it was fun but now I have to force myself to write. Why? Because I am a lazy galoot,Continue reading “Slog on the Blog”

The Claymores are given out during the Killer Nashville writer’s conference. I was a finalist with ten other authors.Continue reading “Is Close Good Enough?”

It is a sign of high intelligence that a person is disorganized. I must be a friggin’ genius. I sit in my “office” in lovely Barstow, temperature only 110 degrees today. Yeah, the Alaskan breezes are running through. The “office” is filled with a basket of unfinished writing in many different notebooks. A box ofContinue reading “Disorganized”

This week’s object of outrage is a song by a country singer in which he warns us city slickers to stay out of small towns or those “good ol’ boys” are gonna whup our asses. To listen to this guy, you’d think that there’s been an epidemic of grandmas getting car jacked. Liquor Stores beingContinue reading “Try That In A Big Town”

Yes, I know. I let myself go. It was all those dinners of fried chicken and armadillo ice cream. A moment on the lips, forever on the hips. Oh, and all those summer days spent staring at the sun waiting for an eclipse. Wasn’t there supposed to be one today? Not to mention the thousandsContinue reading “She Was Beautiful, Now It’s Hard To Look At Her”

Do you love Freedom? Are you Into Liberty? Does the thought of someone taking away your favorite right boil you in anger? You might think that makes you an American. Does it? What does freedom mean? Ask a Democrat and they’ll tell you it’s the right to make decisions about your own body. Ask aContinue reading “Are You A Real American?”
