Like Han Solo and Chewbaca racing to Alderon, Mike’s two Chicago partners, at this moment, are zipping lightspeed to the farm with an unspecified plan of attack. I can tell Mike is getting excited that the friend force will soon be with him. … Continue reading →

I wanted to…
I thought I would pass along some insight into my writing style. I write off the top of my head, just as I mentioned before. When I sit down to the white screen before me, I usually have no idea … Continue reading →

This and That…
Moving slowly this morning…no reason. It’s just that the coffee tastes awfully good, the weather got colder, and my ‘jammies’ are nice and warm. Good thing Mike understands me. What happened to the sunny weather and temperatures in the mid … Continue reading →
