When I began this blog ages ago (6.5 years ago, at least for this iteration), I didn't really have a solid idea of what I wanted to do with the space. It was primarily a place where I would go to unload some of the random thoughts flying around my head before I would get …

The Astrocytoma Diaries by Ken Mooney is something I feel everyone absolutely must read. At its most simplest, it's a first hand accounting of what it is like to battle cancer. But its heart is much more than that. It's a detailed look at the human condition, of how a person can be given the …

For as long as I can remember, I've felt a little weird about things like the National Anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance. Well, I've felt particularly weird about the Pledge of Allegiance, but all around, the whole "America is the bestest country God has ever put on this planet" thing has always kinda bothered …
I'm going to go right out and admit that I've been severely struggling to write as of late. Although, as mentioned here, I've been incredibly busy, which certainly hasn't helped with giving me the opportunity to sit back and create, there have been more than enough times where I've had the bandwidth, opened the word …
In case I haven't made it completely clear, the past six months of my life have been incredibly busy. Between the new house/farm and all the tasks that come along with that, the new job, three kids, vacationing, visiting family members and all those millions of other things which just seem to happen during the …

I have to admit that the title of this blog post still seems more appropriate a title for a future book in The Defenders Saga than it does about the serious content I intend to capture today. Because, seriously...Nazis? Look, I get it. They've never really disappeared. They've held rallies for years. So have the …
It seems like this is just the year that keeps pushing and pushing and pushing to keep me working hard. Which means I'm here to give yet another update on the thoughts of this year so far. Most importantly...I just got back from vacation, and boy are my arms tired (wait, what?). Actually, no, my …
How can you go wrong with a book where the main characters have super powers like being able to throw a bar tray or shooting fecal matter from your hands or not being able to be stolen from? And that last one, that's the one which gives this book its name. It's the one that …

I once had a landlord named Art. We didn't always get along. However, this article is not about him. It's about the much more obvious topic, the creative arts. As tends to be my norm here, I'm going to make a broad statement to begin and then spend most of the rest of the time …
Yeah, I know, this is when I'm supposed to be putting up a new chapter of Jack to the Future so you can all read it and look for all those terrible typos I've placed sporadically throughout. But...today's a special day. Because today is the day where I celebrate 10 years of (mostly) marital bliss …
