Another great reason to skip Las Vegas: $45 ATM fees. This after charging $26 for bottles of water and $150 for poolside chairs. Cancun and Rivera Maya are just as bad now. Another reason to take the road less traveled: save $$$.

For Veterans Day, here's a poem I discovered in high school about WWI by Wilfred Owen, who served as a soldier in the British Army at the time. Probably far more compelling, gritty, human and honest than anything else you will read today... #VeteransDay #War #poetry

I created a new travel t-shirt for New York City, featuring Lady Liberty in the foreground and the city's skyline in background. (On dark colored shirts the skyline's buildings appears as if the windows are lit up at night.) #nyc #NewYork

We introduce readers to The Skill, the Known World's system of "magic." (Truth be told, The Skill is more of a psychic mental discipline, as seen in certain role-playing games.) Savor and enjoy! #worldbuilding #Vadu #fiction #KnownWorld

I was changing flights at STL Airport when Sam Kinison came up and greeted me and patted me on the back, thinking I was a bouncer he knew from some club in Miami 😆 It was funny letting him I was not that guy, then he became polite
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie
