2025 makes twenty years since my first book State of Love and Trust was published. Last year's poetry collection Four for Four is a world of a difference though. Time, maturity, reading, & years of working at the writing contributed to a collection I'm proud of.

I bought the box set of this childhood favorite a few months ago. This show taught me about argument, the blind sides we often have, and people with differences. Reiner was a guiding light in my development. May he Rest In Peace.

It's pretty cool that Stranger Things left a few episodes for Christmas Day and then the finale on New Year's Eve. A real holiday event!

People everywhere can get it, but based on the higher rates of cancer in deep red states, we could say they have a more serious problem.

Less regulated corporations
Less environmental laws
Less democratic voice
Less education
= more disease

Hey, he kind of looks like a piggy. Dunny Sump is a satire about Trump. Sad but funny, funny but sad. Available on Amazon, but guilt-free on Bookshop. Protected by the First Amendment, for now. Get it before it's banned.
