Why the Democrats Didn’t Win
First, an apology – the nation (if not the world) is full of political noise right now, and I debated whether to contribute to it. However, my takeaways from the recent mid-term elections seem to be a little different from what is being reported, so I decided to bend your ear a little this time.…
Tales From The Crates: The Kinks
Those of you who know me personally know that I’ve been an avid collector of recorded music all my life, and a musician for almost as long. I can’t imagine my life without the joy I get from hearing and playing music. For that reason, I’ve decided to start a semi-regular feature called “Tales From…
Goodbye and Hello
I know, I know – I said I was going to try to update every week or so. That’s still the plan, but this entry took a little extra time to finish – it’s a heavy one. I promise I’ll do something lighter next time –R. I’ve been thinking a lot about death lately. No,…
Birth Rights

Today, my church observed All Saints’ Day, a day in which not only “big S” Saints are remembered, but…
How I Got Here
“And you may ask yourself: well, how did I get here?” – Talking Heads I promised that I’d share a little of my story – at least the part of it that relates to my writing. I feel I must ask your forgiveness if I go on too long, or if I don’t…
The Experiment
I’ve been meaning to start this blog for a while, but even after I’d decided to do it, I realized I had some decisions to make. Would it have a theme, or simply be a journal? How often would I update it? How personal would I make it? I thought for a long time about…
The Obligatory First Post, in which the Author States His Intentions in a Humorous and/or Self-Deprecating Way, and Attempts to Convince the Reader to Like Him
Hey y’all! I will try to tick all the boxes for an introductory post, while sparing you as much formulaic boredom as possible. What can you expect to read here? My intention for this blog is to chronicle my serious attempts at writing fiction – not that the fiction itself will necessarily have a serious…
