(These posts will appear when there is something to report) Unfortunately, today's report isn't good news. With my severance package drawing to an end, it was time to sign up for Unemployment Compensation. A pain in the butt (filling out governmental forms always is) but no big deal. I've done it before. In fact,... Continue Reading →
Day One Storytelling Failure
This has nothing to do with politics directly or the new President. It has to do with the subject at the center of my life for the last 50+ years. I just couldn't believe my eyes and ears. Mr. Spicer has a job that can eat you alive if you're not prepared for it. That means you... Continue Reading →
Time To Change – Grinding On

The Father Brown Mysteries (1910-1936) by G.K. Chesterton. Fifty-plus stories about the world's least impressive detective. It isn't his skill in solving mysteries that is unimpressive, it is the man himself. Chesterton describes the Roman Catholic priest in consistently unflattering terms.
