Writing
I already write and earn no money at it, so I obviously I would write for free. I am in the process of publishing and may have to accept some monetary reward for my work. Time will tell. I have written actively for thirty years. I have completed about six books, have scores of short… Continue reading

Unexpected
I laugh most at the unexpected twist, a bit of irony, when the straight man reacts to a buffoonish partner. I am a big fan of Abbott and Costello. I have been a lot happier since I learned to laugh at myself, not taking myself too seriously. I am a good source for jolly and… Continue reading

Are You Kidding?
When I was five? … I can barely remember being five, of course, for me, that was a long long time ago in a suburb far far away. When I was five, we moved into a new house, so I have memories of that time, but thinking about an empty new house and waiting for… Continue reading

Penguin In Repose
I have never been a fan of tattoos until my daughter starting getting them. She selects specific artists and chooses very fine artistic designs, so if got one, (not likely) I would get one of my own paintings as a tattoo. Mostly likely one I call “The Four Penguins,” which I feature on my home… Continue reading

What’s in a Word.
What is one word that describes you? If you ask my wife, she would say BRAT. I am a temperamental artist. My kids would say NAIVE. Their generation is more cynical. Many co-workers called me the GHOST, because I had a habit of appearing without warning. I was light on my feet. I would call… Continue reading

Once Choice
You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike? I am too old to go by bike, too impatient to go by bus or train, and too nervous to fly on a plane. So, I guess I will take a car, unless they change the national speed limit to 55 mph. Then,… Continue reading

Perfectionist
How would you rate your confidence level? My confidence level is middle level at best. This is not based on what I have accomplished or my skills, but on my perfectionist attitude that is never satisfied with my output. I can always do better. I could do better with this blog post too! Augh. Continue reading

Multi-Legged
What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times? The question makes me think of my mother who had favorite books that she read multiple times during her life, specifically Gone With The Wind. I can’t think of many shows I have watched that much. For a post-binge-watch guy, 5 times seems… Continue reading

Not Me
Are you superstitious? Friday the 13th is just another day for me, except I don’t take any big risks that day or leave my house or use any sharp tools. I don’t speak ill of the dead because they might be watching. I never pick up a penny with tails up and I pray before… Continue reading

The Bear
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? Bears hibernate in caves and dig deep. Since I became a stay-at-home Dad, I stay mostly at home. Sequestering during Covid was not a change for me. With too much time on my hands, I do intense self-reflection, to the point I drive my wife nuts.… Continue reading
