Mrs. Lucas’ First Grade Class – Love Makes The World Go Round
How can one resist a request like this? Friends of ours, Jaysree and Jimmy Whitelaw, live in upstate New York. I met Jimmy back in the early 70s through our mutual friend, Denis “Murray” Collins. Indeed, both Murray and Jimmy (who went by the nickname “Schwartz” at the time), as well as Jaysree, all made […]
Miss Is As Good As A Mile – Ground Hog Day
Is it me, or is every new movie on Netflix a dystopian, slightly pre, or definitively post, apocalyptical? So, it’s no wonder why I paid extra attention to yesterday’s science stories about the “potentially hazardous” asteroid called 2008 OS7, whose “trajectory appears to depict a near-collision course with Earth.” https://www.blabber.buzz/conservative-news/1055702-v?utm_source=alert-AOL&utm_medium=email&utm_term=alert&utm_content=3CAdCyuHbKFM9xlnPUyEsSQ..A https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/potentially-hazardous-asteroid-passes-earth-tomorrow-how-to-see-it/ar-BB1hDsgP After a steady diet […]
Claire The Mule Is Truly Magical
Yesterday, I snapped that shot of the two mules, Claire and Honey, out by the front of the driveway. It kind of looked like they were standing guard, shoulder to shoulder with Claire carrying the US flag on her right shoulder. I always like a patriotic image. And Claire is a patriot. I never would […]
Vaya Con Dios Seán Sullivan
Yesterday, Seán Sullivan was laid to rest in his Catholic faith. He was my youngest brother John’s brother-in-law. A real character. I’ve known him forever. Seán was a year older than me. He played baseball with my older brother Eddie, Steve Horgroyan and Tom Delaney for the NRBL Athletics. They were coached by my dad, […]
The Beauty Of A Moment
I am visually stimulated. Snapshots from my daily life trigger my imagination. I probably would have made a successful gunslinger in the Old West as I can spot something and draw my iPhone from my ass pocket to capture the moment before I even blink. Indeed, I don’t think, I just see something that registers […]
Why My Obsession With Rankings?
As most of you know, I am obsessed with Amazon Rankings for The Claire Saga and each of its five books. I check Amazon every morning when I wake up in the early hours and then a couple of times each day. They change pretty much hourly. Here today, gone in 5 minutes. This mornings […]
No Dry Cleaning
Back in the early nineties, I attended a weekend seminar on screenwriting with the brilliant Robert McKinnon in Manhattan. (I’m sure I went into more detail about that in one of earlier posts in my prior three years of blogging). He’s an enchanting lecturer. It really did change my life. For purposes of today’s blog, […]
The Claire Saga – Where The Ley Lines Meet
It’s all smoke and mirrors. Amazon divides their books into various categories so that people with certain tastes in certain genres can find the new books out there that will tickle their fancy. It’s also relative. Thousands of books hit the market each day. If you are one of the heavy hitters, King, Rowling, DeMille, […]
All Quiet On The Western Front
Sometimes I just like to be cheeky. That photo from yesterday screamed its title, Moon Over Ass, as I was snapping it. That is Honey’s Blue Steel pose. She couldn’t hook a left if her life depended on it. It was darker than expected this morning when I went out to feed Claire and Honey. […]
Wolf Moon – Wolf Bonds – Family
You know me with moon cycles. Lunacy runs rampant in this writer’s mind. January’s Wolf Moon is the first full moon of 2024. “During the New Moon, we set intentions and think about what changes we would like to see in our lives over the coming weeks. It is during the Full Moon that a light […]
