During the time I read this book I asked everyone I came in contact with how they felt about “The Panama Papers.” A grand total of ONE person knew what I was talking about. ONE. I guess I’m strange. I …
Creative: Serif & Silver Compendium Pryme Edition
I’ve featured Serif and Silver before, but I wanted to bring your attention to another Nate Matos creation based on a limited edition collection of the publication. The Compendium Pryme Edition. You’ve heard me say this before, but there are …
Adventure: Texas River Fishing
It started the day before. The trash talk. My mom and I. “You are probably too old to find the river, and even if you did you would probably fall in and I would have to save you,” I said …
Read: A Meal in Winter
138 pages. That’s it. One small day in one small moment in time. Men. Alone in war. Then not alone but compromised in a variety of ways. Emotion. Bitter cold. Conflict. This book blew me away with a simmering quiet. …
Read: Once Upon a Time in Russia

Creative: Trump Protest
At work. Noise. Look out the window. Ah, yes. Something to aim the camera at. That time of day. Just go and see. Wander. More about my own memories than what is happening here. Discourse. Anger. Confusion. That time of …
Read: The Farmer’s Daughter
This is getting out of hand. More Harrison. But I can’t stop. There is another after this. The problem is he writes great stories. I’m not a novella or short story fan, never have been, until now. These stories aren’t …
Yoga: Sweat
Sweat. There are those who love it and those who don’t. I love it. Potentially this comes from fifteen years in Texas where sweating is a sport. A hundred degrees with ninety plus percent humidity. Love it. Unless I have …
