My bags are packed I’m ready to go…Tonight, Deb and I leave for Egypt, anxiously awaiting a two week visit with Kate and a chance to visit an exotic locale. We’ve had this on the horizon for so long that when it finally arrived, we were more than a little surprised. But ready.Robbie declined a […]
I have never seen a meme spread as quickly as this week’s concert guessing game where you list ten acts you’ve seen but readers have to guess which one is a lie.It did get me tripping down memory lane, thinking about all the shows I’ve seen through the years and consider myself fairly fortunate to […]
I’m into my second week at home after the long-term sub gig and I have been rather busy. As I discussed last week, I am writing a Captain America novel. Currently, I am closing in on the completing the first third of the book and might be closer to half-done by the weekend.Just announced this […]
I am second to none in my approval of Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn being voted into the Hall of Fame.

There hasn’t been all that much activity on the writing front and suspect the first half of 2007 will be on the slow side since I am working on the unnamed project which has a due date of June 15 and honestly, I can only take on so much. But, as I prepare for vacation, […]
