I write things. Novels, novellas, short story collections. Available on just about every on-line book retailer. And I cook and bake and bicycle and nap. Opinions totally my own.
Snug as a bug in a rug.

I’d like to say this is stunning coming from a man who cheated on all of his wives. But what’s the point?
In a gossipy post, President Trump comments on how quickly Congressman Thomas Massie remarried after his wife passed away.

Hey @carrierubin.bsky.social … I saw a video of your sister bowling and she referenced her sister’s ridicule (or something like that). If we’re never gonna get a #dancingcarrierubinmeme, we can at least get a video of you bowling.

One of the benefits of having your spouse go to NYC for a week is that you get to make dinners totally for you. Two days ago, it was Bistek Ranchero. Tonight, it was risotto with hot beer sausage, yellow and orange bell peppers, and red onion.

Such a beautiful song. Never heard of Orvak until now.

Guess how many of those named individuals were not in positions of power and authority during the 2020 election.

I had to clean the pool filter today. Moose decided to use the opportunity to get some sun.

I heard him. Did you hear him?
You heard the man…
One of the reviews for this book of mine called it "a great short story, that for its full impact needs to be read during the last week of October." So, uh, now's your chance, I guess. It's $0.99 on Kindle. Read the preview and see what you think. a.co/d/0PdsqPn
