Bunker
As a writer, I need a special place to do my work, to get me in the right frame of mind. I once had a desk in a dark corner in my bedroom and I never got comfortable. When my son moved out, I turned his bedroom into my office, but I’m still not quite Continue reading

Fried Mush
I made myself fried corn mush today. I boiled corn meal and poured it into a small loaf pan. When it was cooled and congealed, I cut slices that I fried in a pan until golden brown. With a little bit of maple syrup it’s a delicious breakfast treat. My limited knowledge tells me this Continue reading

Books
When I put my first book out, I didn’t know what to expect. I was exclusively focused on getting it into print. I didn’t put any thought into the next step. It was one of the most rewarding and exciting things to see my work in print form, as a book I could hold in Continue reading

Spa
My music interests have changed over the years. I’m dating myself but I remember when the Beatles appeared on The Ed Sullivan show. At the time, I thought they were silly, with their funny hair.
