Well, I have some news here… You can find two of my stories–the birth of Jake and the birth of Elizabeth at Babyzone–if you go to www.babyzone.com/birthstories and then do a search for ELIZABETH or JAKE you’ll read some very fascinating stuff. Really, I’m sure you’ve heard nothing like it. Hahaha.  Seriously, though, go read it for [...]

For the most part I jot notes for my novels-in-progress into little purse-sized notebooks and each novel I’ve written has it’s own notebook. But sometimes I have to grab a napkin or whatever is handy in an emergency.  There are times I’m cryptic with my notes because I’m rushing or driving or saving one of [...]

uh, what? Today, when we arrived at the pool, I realized I only brought half of my bathing suit–the top half–and couldn’t go in, obviously. Jake questioned me on why I couldn’t partake in the cool blue pool and I told him what happened. “Oh.  So, your vagina would be in the pool?” “Uh, yeah,” [...]

Don’t do this show any longer.  I can’t take it. And as most of you know, I love reality TV, nearly any sort, if the time is right, but I think I need a fifth of Vodka and some little pills to watch this mess. Oh, wait, that’s half the problem with the show.  My [...]

Check out this video of prisoners in the Philippines.  I kind of like it.  I mean, when you look at the video and see the sheer number of prisoners performing Thriller as though they’re getting out of jail tomorrow and the paparazzi are waiting to snap their picture for Us Magazine, it’s really quite stunning. [...]

This…is fantastic to see because it’s human nature to want the rest of the world to be as plain as you are. Okay, Faith Hill is still stunning even without the Redbook Photoshop situation, but boy, she’s a hell of a lot more ordinary than the finished cover implies.  

Check out my post at Working Stiffs if you’re in the mood to hear me make fun of the way rich folks decorate their homes…if you’re not in the mood for self-righteous ranting, take a look at my whimpering posts on sharks below…what are you afraid of?

Now take a look at this story over at Swim at Your Own Risk…THIS picture in particular scares the hell out of me… YOu can tell I’m just weeks from our yearly excursion to Kiawah Island, SC because I keep imagining my children as doubling as shark snacks.  But, yet, I LOVE the ocean–looking at it, [...]

Check this story out real fast–click over and see the pics. The story is not about sharks and whales, but when I look at the photos of the man diving into the black seas of the north pole all that swims through my brain are visions of the biggest great whites ever and those friendly [...]
