• Mini Musing 1/18/23 ~ A Brief Mention of Susan Meachen

    This is another one of those situations where I normally keep my counsel. IMHO, everything that could be said about this author has been, at least, about the situation itself and the people she hurt. It’s hard not to at least speak of her once when she seems to be in EVERY NEWS OUTLET in…

    There is almost nothing more annoying than trying to sign into a website, only to have it take you around in circles, requiring you to sign in again.

From what I’m understanding and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong– Barnes and Noble will no longer be carrying hardcover copies of…

  • Mini-Musing 08/06/22 – The Big Three

    AH-HAH! You thought I meant the publishers didn’t you? I’m currently working on a project that involves my creating a soundtrack for Tinderbox. I’ve enjoyed doing so, but while searching for more songs, I recalled certain favorites and I realized I haven’t listened to any of them in several years and I’m not sure why.…
